In 2006 an Australian sailor tried to auction New Zealand off over the internet, starting at just one Australian cent.
On e-bay of course! Six thousand hits and 22 bids later, New Zealand was still a real estate bargain at $3,000.
The posting said the country's highlights include 'the dodgiest America's Cup win ever...and very ordinary weather.'
But some spoil-sports at e-Bay pulled the auction saying ‘clearly New Zealand was not for sale.’
Now there is a much more believable auction on e-Bay.
Performance Sailcraft, the Asia Pacific manufacturers of the biggest selling boat in the world, the Olympic class Laser, has a range of top class Laser products for auction on e-Bay, starting for as little as $6.50!
Laser spray jackets, Laser branded polo shirts, Laser branded caps and T-shirts
