Writer Steve Young may be able to peddle his prose, but when it came to selling his family, the father of two couldn't cash in on the $5 million offer.
After reading about the online sale of a struggling town in Humboldt County, Young decided to put his wife and kids on the auction block.
After consulting with wife Diana, and their two children, Kelly, 9, and Casey, 8, Young said he posted the ad Thursday on eBay and received more than 10,000 hits within minutes.
But when eBay operators heard about the auction early Friday, they yanked the ad, saying it is against company policy to sell human beings.
Young said the auction winner would receive a lifetime of platonic companionship, including invitations to family outings and holiday gatherings as well as tips on writing, gardening and cooking. The minimum bid was $5 million.
