Luxury yacht sold cheap after auction gaffe

A yachtsman from Germany, Jakob Kauder, planned to sell his 20ft (6 meter) luxury yacht for at least $17000 on an internet auction website AllesAuktion.de.

What Jakob forgot to do was to set a minimum price or reserve price on his auction. Imagine his and buyers surprize when the winning bid landed on less than $34.

Poor Jakob tried to cancel the bid on the auction website but was taken to court by the winning bidder in Cologne, Germany.

Judges ruled that the auction was legal and Kauder had to complete the sale. This must be the cheapest luxury yacht in the world.

Breast Milk For Sale

A Chinese man, Li Jun, has figured out a weird way of making money. He is selling his wife’s excess breast milk online.

His wife is producing way to much milk for their baby daughter and he doesn´t want the extra milk to go to waste so he is selling it online.

Li Jun said that he is not out to make a profit and if a family is really in poverty he would provide them the milk for free.

Caffè Latte anybody? :)

Females Would Starve for Fashion

The difference between men and women is pretty obvious, men find pleasures in beer, great food, watching sports and sex while women…well women won´t enjoy their life fully until they find a way to buy their first Gucci purse.

According to a survey in England, 49% of the British public spend more every month on their appearance than they do on food. Even more stunning is that 18% admitted to spending more than half their wages on clothes and accessories.

The most interested and worrying fact is that 32% of UK females confess that if push came to shove they’d prefer to go without food to nab that fashion “must-have”.
