Reading AuctionBytes: eBay Recipe for the Perfect Friend

An eBay seller who has written for AuctionBytes has created an eBay auction for the perfect friend. Brian Cohen of BidofThis.com is selling his friendship online. But in a Seinfeld-like twist, he sets ground rules for the perfect friendship.

Imagine knowing you can cut in front of your friend in line any time, and that he will never call you after 9:30 pm. Brian will always share his french fries or grapes with you. And while he won't pick you up at the airport, he will send you a text message to "have a safe trip."

The auction includes a yellow shopping bag from Big Wong's Chinese Restaurant in Chinatown, New York City, Brian's "favorite Chinese Eats."

Two eBay buyers have already shown their desire to have a New York friend - the bidding is at $1.25 with 2 days to go.
