New Zealand for sale!

Edited on Fri May-12-06 11:23 AM by Orrin_73

Some funny guy in Australia put New Zealand up for sale in Ebay. That is really interesting if we could buy and sell countries.
eBay: New Zealand not for sale

The trader has not been named, but apparently was unimpressed with the country he was trying to sell.

The rivalry between the two countries is intense and in his advertisement the man said New Zealand had "very ordinary weather."

1. Can we put governments up for sale?

There's one I'd like to get rid of. We can even offer a deeply discounted rate!

3. Funny. I thought Peter Jackson had already purchased it.

With the profits from Lord of the Rings and King Kong.
