A New Zealand teenage girl has auctioned off her virginity for more than $45,000.
The 19-year-old Northland student said it was to fund her university fees, according to the New Zealand Herald.
The student started the bidding wars on the ineed.co.nz website under the name 'Unigirl'.
Under the heading "Relationship For Sale", the teen described herself as attractive, from the North Island, and desperate for money to pay ongoing university fees.
"I have never had a sexual relationship and am still a virgin," her advertisement said.
"I am offering my virginity by tender to the highest bidder as long as all personal safety aspects are observed. This is my decision made with full awareness of the circumstances and possible consequences."
She said she was fit, healthy, with a trim physique and had "no medical conditions of any nature".
She told media the winning bid, by an unknown stranger, was "way beyond what I dreamed".
"Thank you to the more than 30,000 people who viewed my ad and to the more than 1,200 offers made," she posted on the site.
Though other online auction sites have been outraged at the moral issues surrounding the bid, ineed.co.nz defended the listing and said the site did not place moral judgments on its members.
