Noticing that Donald Trump's victory left some people in the US feeling miserable, one Swede decided to make a unique offer that he hoped would cheer them up a bit.
Gustav Hallén, 30, from Stockholm, put himself up for auction for $50,000 on eBay, offering to marry any American who wants to flee the States and take up Swedish citizenship.
Hallén, who works as a photographer, art director and surf instructor, said in his item description that he has "some weather damages and minor eye problems. But overall good physical health and a fine specimen.
The blond 6-foot-tall Swede did not receive any bids before eBay removed his listing Thursday. He told CNN the listing was meant as a joke.
"I noticed the reactions to the election result on Facebook, people were upset so I just thought I would do something fun for my friends to laugh at," he explained.
I set the price so high that I wouldn't get an offer. It was just for fun. Then I saw a lot of people were sharing it. The best thing was the reaction. People laughed at it."
Asked what he would do if someone had met his asking price, Hallén replied:
"Then I would have to figure out how to tell my mom and dad."
Lol!
