Creepy

 
I'm a little concerned for these people. They're charging $10,000 for the privilege of being in the delivery room while their child is born, right? Who do they think they're going to get? Most anyone who's interested in watching a child be born is just going to watch one of the million legitimate videos available. Or one of the many weekly shows where people give birth. Most folks aren't going to shell out 10K, travel to Seattle, and live with a crabby pregnant woman while they wait.

This just seems disturbing. I wonder who they'll get? I have a feeling that there are a LOT better ways to get a college fund together...

Edited to add: As of 4/19 her parents have lowered the starting bid to $5,000. Let's hope this little girl is smart enough to get a scholarship, ie smarter than her parents!!! By 2023 that $5K won't really have been worth having some nasty pervert living in their house for the last month of her mom's pregnancy...

My mom always said the Marine Corps Marching Band could have walked in while she was in labor and she wouldn't have cared. I happen to agree - I wouldn't object to someone wanting to be there and maybe even learn from the experience.

But $10,000 - you're going to get the sicko that everyone else REFUSED to let in the delivery room.

And ebay is a contract - I don't know that you could say no once someone wins the auction.....
 
Definitely freaky! The good news is that no one has placed a bid on this yet (Wed night). What if you had a child, and no one came? Hmmm....
 
They've lowered it again, to $1,000, and added a picture to sweeten the pot.
