Man Sells Snow On EBay For $3,550

A Quebec man has earned $3,550 for charity after selling a "magnificent" two-metre-high snowbank in front of his home on EBay The buyer plans to use it for a snowball fight with his family.

The winning bidder, Claude Fraser, said he and his family bought the snowbank because they make an annual donation to a charity and hadn't decided on one for this year.

"It's a good cause," said Fraser, who plans to collect his winnings in a trailer Monday at noon.

Fraser works for a telephone company and lives in a bungalow in Longueuil, Que. "We're not rich, but we feel it's part of our education as parents to teach our children to think of others and to be generous."

The proceeds will go to Operation Enfant Soleil, a Quebec charity that supports children's hospitals in the province.
