Wonder how much ebay charges this guy to list this item? I assume you get to pay even if you get no bidders?

But it is an interesting idea to start a collection of bottled air. Personally, I'd rather collect bottled tap water from various places around the world.

It was in the vintage computer category. There are about 4 to 6 of them in there.

If I understand correctly, on average you roughly breathe one gallon of air per three minutes. If $300 per gallon of Iowa air would be a fair market price, Grace every day take breaths worth $144,000. Wow!

Even if you are only willing to pay $0.30 per gallon, it is $144 per 24 hours. Most people would struggle to be able to pay so much per day, and would have to obtain even cheaper, probably contaminated air for ~$0.03 per gallon. One day in the future, this may not sound like a stupid joke anymore. :-(
