How much does friendship cost?
How much is a friendship worth? Around £671 according to eBay.
Unfortunately for the man who sold his friendship his newfound buddy won't return his emails - or pay up. Stuart Donald, 23, had promised to be best friend for a month to the highest bidder on the eBay website. But since the auction closed he has heard nothing from the winner, who lives in Aberdeen and bid £671. Stuart, a photography student from Aberdeenshire, was planning to send his new best buddie two emails a week, two handwritten letters and text messages. He would also offer a shoulder to cry on. But the mystery bidder, who called himself Yogger, clearly prefers to cry alone. Stuart has forwarded the details to eBay as a bid on the site is a legally-binding contract. He hit on the friendship idea during a chat with pals. "I was having a laugh with some folk about the stuff you can buy on eBay," he said. "Worthless things have actually been sold and I thought it would be funny to put myself up."

What a tool. Someone should sell him and his friendship to those gay, German cannibals.

The funny thing is, at leastt by American law, he could sue the guy for the full amount. He DID enter into a contract that stated that if he bid on a good or service, he would pay the full amount if he won.
I hope "yogger" covered his ass well....

Anywho, no joke-loophole on Ebay, if you win you have to pay

They can if it's clearly stated in their rules.

Lack of legal expertise notwithstanding, I gotta go with STE on this one...
ebay would have the legal backup to follow through if necessary, a lawsuit to protect their policy/reputation is something they COULD afford, and afford to win, it's a massive corporation...I wouldn't want the kind of shit they could bring down on ME. I'm sure if you really wanted to find out THAT badly, there'd be information on past cases around someplace. Last edited by Cheeba V2.0; 11-09-2004 at 05:17 AM.
