Power Wheels? Yeah right. The real upper-class twerps set their sights a little higher, and pester hedge-fund manager parents for something along this lines of this kids-only Porsche. "It's oooooonly £600. Pretty please?" Read More >>
A bicycle. An old jailbroken iPhone. Maybe used furniture. Some free dirt. Those are the type of things you expect to buy off Craigslist, Gumtree, Fleebay or whatever. You definitely don't expect a mum to offer up her three-year-old son on the seedy but useful classifieds website. But that's just what Stephanie Redus did.
