djpt11Someone tried to sell New Zealand on eBay but was stopped once the bid reached $3,000.
There's an ongoing rivalry between Australia and New Zealand, but in 2006, one Australian man came very close to winning. In May 2006, he opened a bid on the e-commerce platform for the country of New Zealand. Bids started at $0.01. Bidding prices climbed all the way to $3,000 before eBay officials shut it down, adding "clearly New Zealand is not for sale."
