On the heels of a German couple arrested for listing their 7-month old baby for auction on eBay, a Vancouver couple may be charged for week-old baby up for sale on Craigslist.

Asking for $10,000, the ad read: "A new baby girl, seven days old, healthy and very cute. Can't afford and unexpected. Looking for a good home. Please call ASAP."

When tracked down by authorities, the parents claimed the whole thing was a joke, however the baby was removed and placed in protective custody.
