http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/F/FRANK_THE_TUMOR?SITE=TXSAE&SECTION=BUSINESS&TEMPLATE=DEFAULTRICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- David Dingman-Grover decided Frankenstein would be a good name for his tumor. The 9-year-old figured if he could get over being scared of a monster, he could get over being scared of this thing at the base of his skull.
David is determined that Frank isn't going to beat him. To phrase it like his parents do, "Frank Must Die." They even put those three words on a bumper sticker that they're selling on eBay to help pay David's medical bills.
By early Saturday, the online auction site had received 33 bids for the "Frank Must Die" bumper sticker. The highest was for $6,000.
EBay closed the original auction Wednesday, citing numerous rules violations. Spokesman Hani Durzy said auctioneers are not allowed to advertise that money for their items will go toward a cause. The family amended the ad and had a new version up and running the same day.
