Have you ever wanted to go on a tour or Italy, but could never find the time? Well, why not send your barbie doll or garden gnome instead?
My friend Doug is auctioning “a trip of a lifetime for your favourite action figure“. Your action figure, stuffed animal, doll or gnome will tour several beautiful Italian destinations, pose for photgraphs, buy you some souvenirs, and send you postcards of gratitude.
Hurry! There are only nine days left for this eBay auction. eBay are listing it in their “Totally Bizarre” category, but as Doug says, “I guess I’m just blind as to why this auction is so outrageous… it’s just a nice, normal vacation. For an action figure. ;-)”

What was the final price of the auction and how many visitors?
I think it finally went for $55. What a bargain! I can’t remember how many visitors there were, but there was quite a lot of interest.
