Colorado Woman Selling Snow on eBay

Colorado Woman Selling Snow on eBay

File this under 'shit I wish I'd thought of first'.

Call it a winter sale. Jim and Mary Walker are selling snow on eBay. Starting bids were holding steady Friday at 99 cents for samples from "Blizzard I and Blizzard II." How much snow 99 cents or whatever the winning bid gets depends. Walker's auction notice suggests avoiding shipping and handling charges by stopping by their home and picking it up in a dump truck.

So if you can't drive to Colorado and fetch it yourself, how exactly will it be delivered?

Chris Hansen of Milford, Conn., is shelling out $200 to buy three snowballs made from real Colorado powder.

Chris, honey, for $600 I'll send you a soggy cardboard box in the mail too!
