Manuscript in Search of a (Best-Selling) Author

DANIEL RICE gives new meaning to the term "book auction" with his eBay offering entitled: ATTENTION TO ALL YOU WELL KNOWN, AUTHORS!

Excerpt:
Well here is the deal. I am putting my manuscript up for auction only to real popular writers and authors, which names are already known. Of course if just the ordinary joe wants to buy my script well, that's ok too. My manuscript may seem expensive to ordinary people like me, but to a real author like John Grisham>The Client, The Firm, and A Time to Kill well if he bought my manuscript for 150,000 dollars and put his own title on it and copyrighted it, putting his name on the book as the writer, how much do you think he would profit from it? Well over 150,000 dollars I assure you, seeing that most of his books go right to the theaters immediately. So that is why I am selling my manuscript mostly to well known authors and  whether Oprah Winfrey reads this or Stephen King or the ever so popular J.K. Rawlings, if they bought my book for my price and put there name on it as the author, everyone will pick up the book and read it...
Sounds like a win-win to us. Plus there's no agent grabbing off 15%.
