In This Week's Episode of "When Good eBayers Go Bad"... If you're in the market for a really bad outfielder and you've got cash to spare - or you just want to do your duty to help the New York Mets get rid of one of their overrated players, then join the bidding for Roger Cedeno!

I suppose having something for 99 million dollars probably does get caught pretty quickly. It was worth a try for the novelty.. Delete away, Matt!

While Matt's away, care to share the joke with us?

Surely someone has a mirror of that particular auction up somewhere?

eBay's rules are clear. No trafficking in human beings.

Bummer. I'd have him paint my kitchen and take care of my taxes. But FYI: his skills in cancer research aren't drawing good references.

Mirror?

Still looking, didn't get one myself.

Anywho - the seller was offering Roger Cedeno, embattled expensive outfielder for the New York Mets, to anyone willing to pay at least $5,000,000 to the cause. If you paid $10,000,000, they would take that amount and give it to the Mets for the purpose over covering the cost of his unconditional release. Anything over that amount would go to charity.

People post weird stuff on eBay? Sometimes not stuff they actually own or expect to sell? WOW.
