The baby came safely but not well packaged…

Offering my nearly new baby for sale, as it has gotten too loud. It is a male baby, nearly 28 inches (70 cm) long and can be used either in a baby carrier or a stroller.

Two parents in Southern Germany are being investigated for child trafficking after putting up their 7-month-old boy up for sale on the auction site eBay. Authorities quickly shut down the posting, and eBay helped police locate the parents. The baby is now in protective custody. The starting bid was only 1 Euro, or about $1.60 American, but we wonder what the But It Now price was! The parents insist it was a joke, and it probably was, but the naivety of such an action suggests that maybe they really are unfit parents!
