An unwanted Christmas gift of $100 has reached $295 on Trade Me.
The poster, Robbie Shefford, who lives in Ashburton, put the note on the auction website as a joke but it is already nearly three times the price since he posted it on Boxing Day.
There were 93 bids as at 9pm tonight, 74,268 page views and 1212 people had added the auction to their watchlist.
Mr Shefford engaged with 140 people on the site who had asked questions about the auction.
When asked why he was doing it, he said he was "being smart on Boxing Day about kids selling their Xmas presents on TradeMe" so they could buy the stuff they really wanted, and he decided to be "ridicules".
