How much do babies go for on the open market?
Apparently, new parents of a 2 month old newborn baby were putting their baby on clearance as they marked her down to a bargain basement, blue light special of 30 bucks in effort to lure that last minute Christmas shopper looking for a deal…
(Again, totally convinced now that Florida is the craziest place on the planet.)
PENSACOLA, Fla. — A couple was charged Friday with trying to sell their 2-month-old baby for $30 in a store parking lot, authorities said.
Robert G. Ellingson, 23, approached two people in the PetSmart parking lot and offered them a beer. When they refused, he offered to sell his child, Escambia County Sheriff’s officials said.
“At first they thought it was a joke,” sheriff’s spokesman Glenn Austin told the Pensacola News Journal. “But then the mother yelled to the group that they were trying to sell the baby. And one of them called us.”
