Earth for sale on auction site

A man put the planet Earth up for sale on a Japanese internet auction site last week. The seller listed the Earth as "used" and warned that there was a "no-return" policy. Buy it and you're stuck with it.
On the information page, he explained that God had appeared to him in a dream and told him to sell the place. People being people, many took it seriously, reports Rocketnews24, a Japanese news website.
A questioner from Saitama asked:
Q: "I love cigars. Is it possible to sell off just Cuba as a special package item?"
A: "Thank you for your question! After placing the winning bid, I think Havana can be moved to Saitama, Japan."
Q: "Hello. This is a really interesting item! If I buy the Earth will I become a god?"
A: "Thank you for your question! This item can't make you a god."
One questioner, apparently from a different galaxy, asked whether the Earth could be delivered to his home planet.
Q: "Is it possible to ship this via Altair? Thank you for your time."
A: "Thank you for your question! Because it would take 17 light years just for the bank transaction to complete, I think you should forget shipping."
(Notice that everyone is polite in Japan, even wackos.)
At the time of writing, the price for planet Earth has soared from 69 cents to US$2,700.
In real estate terms, it may sound cheap, but think of the maintenance, etc. Do you really want all that responsibility?
