Ebay This

ebay:"Governor candidate uses eBay for publicity. Self-employed contractor Larry Bays, a gubernatorial candidate in Ohio, is auctioning his services as a handyman on eBay to gain publicity. "The idea came to me one evening when I got this letter from (Ohio Secretary of State and gubernatorial candidate) Kenneth Blackwell asking for donations for his campaign, said Bays, a contractor and Wayne County parks commissioner. At the same time I'm opening his letter, there was this story on the evening news about this pregnant lady who was putting her tummy on eBay and renting it out for advertisement. I thought that was a great idea, and it was exactly what I needed to do. Bidding began at $900, for chores such as painting, cleaning, carpentry and plumbing. The winning bidder gets one day a month of services during Bays first year in the governor's mansion. Oh Ya - He's a Republican." I saw this and laughed..Really should of known he was a Republican, it's all about money not what he can do to change things. Personally I think this type of ads on Ebay is stupid now was cute when the first time I heard about it but, I don't know about others but. I sure would never pay for this type of publicty least not for $900.00 min. bid
