A 20-year-old US man is selling advertising space on his forehead to the highest bidder on eBay, BBC News reports.
Andrew Fisher, from Omaha, Nebraska, said he would have a non-permanent logo or brand name tattooed on his head for 30 days.
"The way I see it I'm selling something I already own; after 30 days I get it back," he told the BBC Today programme. Mr Fisher has received 39 bids so far, with the largest bid currently at more than $322 (£171).
So if a blogger like Jeremy Wright can auction his services, why not a guy auctioning his face?
