Forehead eBay Auction Fetches $30,000

 

As reported earlier on shortnews, Andrew Fischer, from Omaha, Nebraska placed an auction on eBay advertising his forehead as a "billboard". The auction has now ended and the highest bid was $30,000.

Fischer, 20, plans to use the money raised for college, although the winning bid has not yet been proved as authentic. Strange auctions on eBay often attract spoof bids.

When Fischer placed the auction, his mother was more than surprised. However after seeing the media attention thought he was "thinking outside the box".

  Cool  
 
There was a kid in my college about 9 years ago now that actually started this and made it into a business in RI. He was also interviewed on a few talk shows. He ended up hiring several college kids to where ads on their fore heads as long as they where clean and not going o cause a issue. Our school even supported this.
