In 2006, an Australian man tried to sell NZ on eBay.

The starting price was one cent and there were 22 bids, increasing to $3,000, before eBay stopped the auction and pulled the plug. According to Daniel Feiler, eBay Australia spokesman at the time, "Clearly New Zealand is not for sale. There are the occasional quirky items put up, we have a look at them and if they are OK we leave them. But if it is something that can't be sold, we take them off."

The trader, who has not been identified but thought to be from Queensland, advertised NZ as having the "dodgiest America's Cup win ever ... and very ordinary weather".

Winston Peters, Wellington’s foreign minister, said “I don’t think it’s funny. It is nonsensical stupidity.”
