A Swedish man has listed himself on an online shopping site for any America who would want to live the US following Donald Trump's victory.
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."
