9. A girl’s virginity
An 18-year-old Bristol University student named Rosie Reid auctioned her virginity on eBay in 2004. It started as a joke, but then Rosie realized she could earn “good money” if she actually sold her virginity. The auction had 2,000 bidders in all. The winning bidder, a 44-year-old British Telecom engineer, bought Rosie’s offer for £8,400 ($10,866).
