Default Did anyone see this on Ebay?

Someone is selling their weightloss on Ebay. They are wagering that they can lose 200lbs in one year for 1 million bucks. If they do not succeed they give the money back.

Doesn't 200 pounds in one year seem a bit much?

Depends on how much they start out weighing and how they lose the weight. Someone who weighs in excess of 500 lbs. and has gastric bypass could, I'm guessing, lose 200 lbs. in one year.

I have been thinking about this. It is such a con. They said they would put it in a trust until the end of the year period. Not touching the money and then if they did not lose the weight, they would give back the million. Hey, what about the interest? At 3% they would walk away with thirty thousand right? No picture was posted. It was probably some 105 pound crook!
