Overview
CORRECTION: SEE CORRECTION APPENDED; Plural word -- In an article in Saturday's California section about a family's effort to sell its services on EBay, the plural of the German word wunderkind was incorrect. The plural of the word is wunderkinder, not wunderkinds. The Chatsworth resident's zaniest idea to date popped into his head as he was writing a satirical column for a news and opinion Web site about the online sale of Bridgeville, the hard-luck hamlet in Humboldt County that was auctioned last month on EBay for $1.7 million. \"People have tried to sell themselves five or six times over the past four or five years,\" said EBay spokesman Kevin Pursglove. \"There have been attempts to sell their nephew, uncle, wife, whoever is in the doghouse at the time. They've even tried to sell their soul.\"
