LOVELAND, Colo. - As if Colorado
<http://www.examiner.com/Topic-Colorado.html> residents don't have
enough snow to dig out from, one resident is offering more for a price
on eBay. Starting bids were holding steady Friday at 99 cents for snow
from "Blizzard I and Blizzard II" being offered by Mary Walker. She and
husband, Jim, got the idea for selling snow after shoveling mounds from
two storms a week apart that together dumped more than 4 feet along the
Front Range.

"I figured eBay <http://www.examiner.com/Topic-eBay.html> has ghosts and
all sorts of weird stuff, so why not snow?" said Walker, who teaches
business workshops on employee communications.
How much snow 99 cents or whatever the winning bid gets depends.
Walker's auction notice suggests avoiding shipping and handling charges
by stopping by their home and picking it up - in a dump truck.
Only 10 offerings of snow are available and the proceeds are earmarked
for a used snowblower for Jim or a pair of shovels.
She says she doesn't really expect to find a buyer for their blizzard
overstock.
"We just wanted to just give some folks a laugh," she said.
