PRANKSTER Daniel ODee put his body up for sale on auction website eBay and got a £2,000 bid from a CANNIBAL.
Daniel, 22, posted the joke advert after a drunken dare.
But he was stunned when a German calling himself Donnie, the Hanover Cannibal got in touch seeking a fresh corpse.
The bidder told how he had a contact in Nottingham who could arrange transport.
He also revealed eBay is used to buy bodies despite a ban by the internet site.
Chemistry graduate Daniels ad read: Human corpse for sale. Money up front and you get the body after I die. Bosses at eBay quickly removed the ad.
But it had already been spotted by Donnie.
His first message read: Can you confirm if you are selling a human corpse.
Daniel replied he had put his body up for sale as a joke. But then Donnie emailed again saying: Im disappointed that it was your own body you were selling as I want one as soon as possible.
If you have any other access to a fresh corpse I would be interested. I guarantee that it will be more than a fair price.
He added: There is a syndicate of eBay users who help fund this enterprise.
Days later, Daniel received another email this time a death threat.
Daniel, of Salford, Greater Manchester, said: Im trying to put it out of my mind. Its safe to say I wont be visiting Germany.
Cannibal Armin Meiwes was jailed in Germany in February after eating parts of a man fried with garlic.
