A PRANK auction has been taken offline after someone tried to sell Communications Minister Stephen Conroy on eBay.
Bidding had passed $700 by the time it was taken offline, almost 24 hours after it was posted.
A cheeky eBay user, screen name "krudd53", said the asking price for the politician was "around $8000 or best offer... No reasonable offer refused."
The bids escalated from $30 to $765 within hours. Prospective buyers even submitted their own joking questions about the mock auction.
"I am interested in a new communications minister, but I am worried that the one you have for sale is not fit for this purpose. What is your return policy?," asked one bidder.
The answer: "Hello fellow Australian, Stephen is better suited to a communist country. K Rudd."
The seller was apparently protesting the Government's proposed web filtering scheme.
