"Last Word"-Ebay's Education Auction
Monday, February 05, 2007SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight, here's a novel way to get a college education. Oklahoma Wesleyan University is auctioning off a year of tuition and room and board at the university on eBay. The bidding began yesterday and runs through February 11. It covers fall and spring undergraduate tuition, plus room and board and all associated fees. So far there have been 35 bids, with the price currently sitting at $7,500. The university puts the real cost of a year of tuition, room and board at $23,000. And Paul, the university says the eBay auction is a way of creating some publicity about the school.
PAUL KANGAS: You know, what can't you get on eBay? That's amazing.
GHARIB: This is amazing, isn't it?
