In this hypothetical Q., you are auctioning yourself off to the highest bidder for life, if they pay the reserve. The winning bidder agrees not to harm you according to the laws by which parents can raise their children e.g. the winner could, if he/she so wished, feed you only on cornflakes, stop you from seeing anyone, control how you spend your time, when you must sleep, how much money you shall have (if any), etc. Also, if they wish, you would be their 'partner' according to the legal guidelines for a married couple.

Addendum: 'Rules' re: 'marriage': no divorce - you would be their possession. They would be 'entitled' to 'marital relations' as they choose - within the limits of the law i.e. they cannot harm you, even if they wish to, (without your approval!)
The money (I thought went without saying) would be going to your family, a charity - anywhere but in your *own* pocket.

Addendum: rules re marriage: no divorce - you would be their possession. They can have 'marital relations' with you according to their tastes *within the law* i.e. they cannot harm you (without your consent! - i.e. extreme S&M).
Money: sorry, I thought this went without saying. This goes to your family, a charity, anywhere except into your *own* pocket! ;O)
