You can find thousands of items for sale on eBay, from golf clubs to cameras, to cars; even weird stuff like holy toast.

But if you type in listing 150349995516, you'll find Sherry Campbell's photo and resume.
 
"What do you do. You market yourself. You have to be able to sell yourself to be able to sell something for somebody else, so I listed myself on eBay" says Sherry Campbell, who works in Pasco County, Fla.

Campbell is a car salesperson in a tough predicament. Instead of a steady paycheck, she's now struggling on commission only. The breadwinner of her family, with four kids and a disabled husband, she says car sales along U.S. 19 in Port Richey aren't what they used to be.

"I was working six-days a week for the most part and a lot of times, I'd go in at nine in the morning and stay until 11:00 at night," Campbell said. "Now I'm making $7.21-an hour and if i don't sell any cars this week, I have to pay them back."
 

Joining the hundreds of other classics at this year's 7th Annual Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Collector Car Auction on April 9-11 will be Ford's first production-spec 2010 Ford Shelby GT500, as well as a pair of Mustang GT Concepts.

Shelby's latest badass coupe sports 540-hp and 510 lb-ft of torque from its 5.4L supercharged V-8 motor. Also on the list of mods are numerous suspension and visual tweaks to ensure this Pony grips and looks as well as it goes.

The pair of Mustang GT concepts first bowed at the 2003 Detroit Motor Show and have since toured the nation at various national car shows. Each features an interior packed with charcoal and deep red leathers, billet aluminum and retro-inspired instrument displays. Twenty-inch rolling stock and Brembo brakes keep the 400-plus supercharged horsepower in check. While multiple design elements have clearly been translated onto the current 2010 Mustang, some failed to make it past the conceptual stage.

Proceeds from 2010 Shelby GT500's sale will benefit the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation, while money from the concepts will go directly to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
 

Thousands of items belonging to Rosa Parks are expected to be sold within the next few months, according to the owner of the New York auction house serving as the middleman for the civil rights icon's collection.

Arlan Ettinger, founder and president of Guernsey's Auction House, said there are two main contenders vying for the 2,000-plus item collection. Ettinger wouldn't name them but said both organizations would be well suited to showcase the multimillion dollar collection for generations to come. "Either one would be terrific. Without revealing who it is we're speaking with -- assuming it goes in one of those directions -- the world will not only understand, but say 'That's a wonderful direction.'"

Representatives of The Henry Ford confirmed they have been in touch with the auction house and that communication remains open. But they're unwilling to comment further, said Wendy Metros, spokeswoman for The Henry Ford. Eight years ago, The Henry Ford paid $492,000 for the bus Parks was riding when she refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on Dec. 1, 1955.
 

Elton John will auction off 20 of his private stash of luxury and sports cars at Christie's on June 5 according to Hollywood.com.

The cars include John's Rolls Royce Silver Cloud named "Daisy" and an Aston Martin called "The Beast." Passengers of the cars, other than the ostentatious singer, include Sting, Hugh Grant, Gianni Versace and George Michael. Christie's estimates the cars will bring in approximately $1.4 million.

"Celebrity auctions are very popular," said Christie's spokesperson Patricia Clark, "especially Elton John, who's incredibly popular here in England. There is generally more interest in celebrity auctions. People love the idea of owning a bit of a star, a piece of history. It makes their lives a little more interesting."

John recently lost a court battle with his former manager and accountant. Christie's, however, insisted that The Rocket Man is selling his cars because he doesn't get a chance to enjoy them anymore because of his travel and other time commitments.

John also put his vast record collection on the market last year through Christie's.

(AP) — James Bond's Lotus from The Spy Who Loved Me goes under the hammer at a London auction next month.

The white 1976 Lotus Esprit is expected to fetch between £100,000 - £120,000 at Bonhams annual motoring sale.

It is one of two Lotus cars - driven by Roger Moore in the 1977 film - which turned into an amphibious car when it ended up in the sea during a chase. Bond fans will get the chance to bid on the car at the auction in Olympia, west London, on Dec. 1.

The registration number AU1 from Bond classic Goldfinger will also be up for auction in the same sale.

The first registration issued in Nottingham in 1903, AU1 was fitted to the Rolls Royce Phantom III used by arch villain Goldfinger in the film, as AU is the chemical symbol for gold in the periodic table.

Bonhams hope the plate will fetch more than £80,000.
