Going, going, gone - a New Zealand teenager has reportedly auctioned off her virginity to a stranger for over $45,000 to fund her university tuition fees.

The 19-year-old Northland student, who listed her virginity on the ineed.co.nz website under the name 'Unigirl', says the leading bid is "way beyond what I dreamed".

"Thank you to the more than 30,000 people who viewed my ad and to the more than 1,200 offers made," she posted on the site.

New Zealand's leading online auction site, Trade Me, says it would not allow such a listing.

But ineed.co.nz has defended the listing, saying it is legal and the site does not place moral judgments on its members.
