Ebay Auction Austin Guerra Family

What does it take to wind up on the news for something you've chosen to sell on Ebay? A laid-off Austin father has decided to sell his entire family on Ebay. Now you may be thinking this is a really fun, out-of-control family who is willing to do anything. Nope, I've never seen a more mundane group in my life. The father suggests possible uses for his family, like wear t-shirts or something, maybe walk in a parade. Asking price? Oh, he's looking to make at least $50,000 for the entire family. He figures it's only fair since there are five of them.

"Bob, yes, I would like to bid on that item."

Audience goes crazy in the background as numbers emerge from the crowd. I look back and forth and wish I had a wife in the crowd to give me a final answer. I must make a go of it on my own.

"Bob, I have a final answer. One Dollar. Yes, BBSD would like to bid one dollar for the item up for sale."

I can see it now, 5 family members wearing "I'm with Stupid" t-shirts and fetching beers at my up-and-coming keg party.

"I don't care if you're only five. NOBODY spills the pitchers for beer pong! You can blame this on your father."

I will get back to regularly scheduled content as soon as I stop working so many hours.

** I tried to auction off my "Jar of Potential" and it got very little response. Surely all that potential is worth more than a boring family.**

*Please do not bid 2 dollars. I hate when people bid one dollar higher.
THEY SOLD FOR OVER $48,000.00 - UNBELIEVABLE!
If someone wants to waste money, I'll take them to the bar with me and my friends.

Yawn! WTF???? If I saw those losers on a Kodak commercial or box of Rice Krispies, I'd buy Nikon and Cheerios. Holy smoke. How did these freaks get on TV? What on earth is wrong with this world? (BBSD - please don't attempt to answer than last rhetorical question.) I bid... NOTHING!!!!!;-)

I can barely take care of the family I have. I say send them to the pound.

Humble - Bastard!

Debra - I know. How do any of these strange ebayers get on tv? I'm jealous!

Debra - I will give you two dollars for your most coordinated child. I can't have someone spilling stuff.

Pepto bismal might be able to use them? I liked on the vid where he said "it's a coincidence, I put my family on ebay last week, and got laid off on monday". ha ha!
