Skin shots
Markets in—and on—everything (with apologies to Tyler Cohen):
When Omaha, Nebraska student Andrew Fisher auctioned off his forehead on eBay a company that makes snoring pills bought it for $37,375.
Yup, Andrew was amazed. “Wow, I mean wow,” he said.
Amber Rainey was too. An expectant mother in Florida, she figured, “People can’t help to look at a woman’s pregnant belly.” So she offered her belly to the highest bidder… [A]n online casino paid her more than $4,000.
Definitely more profitable than a tatoo.
