NEW YORK - When Jerald R. Klein, a Manhattan housing court judge, got a call from a reporter on Sunday morning, he had no idea why he was being bothered at home on the weekend.

He did not know that his face was all over eBay. He did not know that he was for sale.

"What are you talking about?" he said. "Yes, I am a housing court judge. But I'm not for sale."

According to a posting on eBay, the online auction house, the 55-year-old judge would go to the highest bidder. After four days the best offer was $127.50.

The eBay advertisement, titled "Judge for Sale," showed a picture of Klein sitting in a courtroom and grinning at the camera, and then listed a number of accusations about the way the judge dispenses justice.

Free worldwide shipping was even included.
