Costa Concordia Put Up For Sale On eBay
An Aussie, as a joke, tried to sell the stricken Costa Concordia cruise ship on eBay. The ad has since been pulled from the website. The listing read: “For sale, one cruise ship – slight damage to right-hand hull, mainly cosmetic.” The seller also warned the prospective bidders that there was “some water damage to interior” of the ship and said the new carpets may be needed. An eBay spokesperson said the ad, for which bidding reached $1008.88 with six days to go, was taken down because it was not appropriate for the website. There was a warning on the listing stating it was “obviously a fake and should not be taken seriously.” The website was flooded with questions in response to the post. One curious person asked if the rock on which the captain tripped before falling into the lifeboat would be included. The seller said yes.
