Ebay is no stranger to weird items being sold on its domain, ranging from Britney Spear’s hair to the country of New Zealand (not joking, that really happened. Unsuccessfully, of course.) Some of these strange listings have been serious, while other have been pranks. But now, there has been a new listing and the seller is dead serious about her offer.
Lois Curtis, a 49-year-old mother of two, put herself up for sale on Ebay in hopes of being whisked up by the Greek man of her dreams. Unfortunately, her dreams fell short.

The idea came from Apostolos, a Greek friend of hers, who suggested that she put herself on Ebay and he could spread the link to friends of his in the country she wanted to be carried away to, she told Daily Mail.
‘It was really a bit tongue-in-cheek to see what would happen. Kind of like online dating I suppose – but I thought I might as well have a bit of fun with it.
‘I was hoping for a nice Greek, rugged, gorgeous guy – the sort all women want. A few dates – that sort of thing. Of course, I was collection only and there were no refunds after purchase.
Within the day-and-a-half before she shut down the listing, she had received two offers and continued to receive offers after it was taken down. But none of the bidders were from men in Greece.
‘It was up for one whole evening and one morning too. In that time, I had one bid from Australia and one from Puerto Rico – I was amazed when it got to over £200. It was quite flattering.
‘But, no-one from Greece ended up contacting me – which was kind of the point.’
Although her first auction didn’t work out, luckily for all of you Greek bachelors out there, Lois is considering putting herself back out there. And this time, she’s planning to be more specific on what kind of man she is looking for.
Happy bidding!
