Colorado Woman Selling Snow on EBay

As if Colorado 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 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.

They keep fighting over water rights here in NW AZ, I would not be shocked if someone tries a hair brained sceme like hauling it to here.

Hell..they cant even get Lake Mead back up to proper levels since they suck it out of there as fast as it runs in.

Really, at a genuine bargain? I'll pass this along; there are many Democrat voters here in Pennsylvania who could easily be convinced to have it hauled in at the right price!!!

One of the best movies ever. Just watched it again the other day.

Bidding should start at...

...two dollars.

Water leaving the State would be a 100% consumptive use and contrary to the doctrine of prior appropriation unless she owns those rights. This is a flagrant violation of Colorado water law. Even worse, she will be mailing hydrogen and oxygen (H2O), combined in an unstable, solid state. Everyone knows what hydrogen can do, just look at the Hindenburg. Just imagine if there had been concentrated oxygen present. This woman must be prosecuted. She must be stopped before it's too late.
