Will People Buy Air?
A jar of air. A novel idea for a souvenir or consumerism gone mad?
Some might think it cynical, others genius. It's been said that one can sell absolutely anything on eBay - perhaps this will be the ultimate test of that assertion (actually, having seen some of the other things selling, perhaps this is tame by comparison).
Last night, up for auction went one jar of "Genuine, Pure Irish Sea Air (from Ireland)," which is described as the "Perfect Saint Patrick's Day Gift." To that end, international delivery is promised in time for the big day.
Open to bids from all over Europe, North America and Australia, it's described as "a little piece of Ireland" that you can take with you wherever you go. The question is, how much will it fetch?
