Fancy a change of career? Well, if you've got more than $100k hanging around doing nothing, and have always fancied going into the movie business, then point your browser at eBay in the US where someone is flogging an entire porn company - lock, stock and (judging by the description) plenty of smoking barrels.

You'll get plenty of bangs for your bucks, too - camera equipment, edit suite, DVD stocks, black book with porn entertainers' cellphone numbers, etc, etc. What's more, the company is turning over a profit, and the reason for the sale is given as "moral issues between family members and partners and an early retirement of another partner".

Accordingly, the blurb warns that you must have "a very open mind towards this type of business" and that "your immediate family members must approve of this lifestyle". Fair enough. You'll also need to be over 22 and preferably living in a "state with a predominantly non-conservative attitude (Blue States)". Solid advice. ®
