Symmonds Auctioning his arm on Ebay
Symmonds to sell arm to highest Twitter bidder!

Nick Symmonds continues to be an innovator when it comes searching for financial stability for track and field athletes. 

Symmonds has turned to the biggest auctioning block on the planet ebay, to sell his shoulder to the highest bidder. The winner of the auction will have their twitter name temporarily tattooed on Symmonds' left should for his 2012 competitions (tentative schedule is below). The last time we check the bid was over $1800 (the reserve price was $14.50)!! Check out what the bid is currently. I love Symmonds entrepreneurial attitude, but the cynical me wants a random twitter address to win, example....
