A real estate posting goes viral and sums up our human condition with a $0 deal offer. 

Vancouver man Brice Royer is selling something unheard of before. In the second-most expensive city in the world, what Mr. Royer is selling is his most prized possession and one of the hottest commodities in the world–unconditional love. The Vancouverite posted an ad in the real estate section of Craigslist on March 12, advertising unconditional love for $0. He did not expect people to take him seriously, but in a few short days, he’d received numerous offers and over one million views. Take a read through Royer’s advertisement below:

Hello, I am selling unconditional love for $0. Infinite square feet lot. Includes refreshing air, sunshine, the Earth, beautiful mountains and the ocean. A stunning ‘classic’ heritage made 4.5 billion years ago. Address: Earth, Solar System, Milky Way. Available now to serious buyers. Perfect for the first-time buyer and experienced investors feeling empty and trapped with stress and pressure to maximize return on investment because of family and stakeholders expectation.

HISTORY: I received it a long time ago when I was born. I received the gift of life from my parents, the sun, the water, the Earth, the air, a smile, a hug, a helping hand, without being asked anything in return. I didn’t earn any of them. They belong to public domain, the commons, “Mother Earth” or God, if you’re religious. At some point, my ancestors were afraid and decided to own land that once belonged to everyone, sell services that were once freely given, and even own humans through debt. Since it was claimed or stolen by those who made the laws themselves with a series of ‘legitimate’ transfers, then any law that enforces private ownership is perpetuating a crime. Not all laws are morally just. Only recently, slavery was legal and women weren’t allowed to vote. Why pay for something that was stolen from you? They made a mistake. I’m sorry. Let’s start fresh with this new sale. Although I am only one human and my time and resources are limited, my soul and the intention of love is eternal, and so is yours … and I would like us to share that experience.

PAYMENT: I don’t accept cheques or mortgage payments, only cash payments of $0. You are also welcome to re-sale it for $0. But I must warn you … it will multiply once you do.

Thank you, 
The Seller
P.S.: Yes, I am for real. I’m a cancer patient who believes that love can heal.
P.P.S.: If you are disappointed and missed out on the $51 million Point Grey mansion recently sold in Vancouver, then you are in luck. What I am offering is priceless.

REAL ESTATE AGENTS: Unconditional love is in high demand in today’s Vancouver housing market. I will give you a 100% commission of $0.00 on the sale. Please inquire for details!

Frequently Asked Questions: “Why are you selling the Earth for $0?” I’m simply correcting the housing bubble. The Earth’s asking price for its abundant gifts to us has always been $0.00. “What does free property have anything to do with unconditional love?” Everything. Here’s a beautiful poem that may answer your question: “”Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, “You owe me.” Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.” – Hafiz, a Persian poet of the 1300s. “Can you do that? Is this legal? What if the government evicts me?” Since I’m returning the Earth which rightfully belongs to everyone, then it makes all previous legal title claims over the Earth invalid.

Love is rebellious and revolutionary. Please, live and eat freely on this Earth wherever you choose as long as it does not cause harm to others. If your government enforces an eviction based on outdated and immoral private property laws, which ignored the formal laws of the commons and of indigenous people, then you can simply show them this “new” title deed of the Earth’s unconditional love which I have sold to you for $0.00. If they refuse to accept it, you may wish to take them to their own Supreme Court to change this law, and who knows, you may eventually win because what I stated above is based on historical facts!

“What interesting emails have you received since posting this ad?” Someone sent me an inspiring letter from the Chief of Seattle in the 1800s. “The President in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land. But how can you buy or sell the sky? The land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? … One thing we know– there is only one God. No man, be he Red man or White man, can be apart. We ARE all brothers after all.”
