Girl tries to sell gran on eBay
A ten-year-old schoolgirl has tried to sell her "annoying" grandmother on eBay.
oe Pemberton, from Clacton, Essex, put 61-year-old Marian Goodall on the auction website asking "just 99p for her".
She described her gran as "rare and annoying and moaning a lot" but also called her "cuddly", reports The Sun.
Zoe said: "I was sitting down watching TV and she kept asking me to do things like make her a drink. I was on the laptop and suddenly thought I'd put nan on eBay.
"I didn't know how much we'd get for her, maybe 99 pence. But she's very good at word searches. She can finish them in ten minutes."
Her father Thomas, 31, said Zoe put his mother, Marian, up for auction after a minor falling out, but added: "They love each other really.
"We've had loads of inquiries asking if mum comes with a guarantee or MoT."
Despite a flurry of online bids for Mrs Goodall, eBay bosses took down her listing over human trafficking regulations.
An eBay spokeswoman said: "Obviously we have rules about the selling of people. We had to take it down but it was quite amusing and there were a number of offers."
