Looking for a little entertainment in your own backyard -- say, something that would bring joy to about 600 people per hour? The Ferris Wheel from the Santa Monica pier is up for sale to the highest bidder on eBay from April 15th until the 25th with a price tag of $50,000 (base not included)! This iconic entertainment piece has adorned the pier since 1996, which became solar powered in 1998, and will be replaced by a new one in early May. One great outcome from this sale is that half of the proceeds will be donated to the Special Olympics of Southern California -- such a worthy cause. Opulence and charity do go well together!
