Only $5000?

I don't have a price but if I did, it would take more than $5K to hook myself up with some man looking for a wife on Craigslist.

A 39-year-old man from Wells is looking for love -- in the classifieds.

Charles Haeberle hasn't been able to find Miss Right since moving to Maine six years ago, so he's taken out a newspaper ad offering $5,000 to the woman he marries. Actually, he says he'll pay $400 after the fourth date, $1,100 at the engagement and $3,500 at the wedding.

Haeberle manages a hotel in Kennebunk, travels widely and likes to hike, kayak and stay physically active.

He knows his ad sounds silly, but says it costs no more than an online dating service. He hasn't had much luck with those, so he figures he's simply cutting out the middleman.

In the ad, Haeberle says he's no Brad Pitt, but he's "not the elephant man, either." The ad says he already has a four-carat engagement ring and a 1-year anniversary gift.

He put the ad in the York Weekly, and he's also running it on the Craigslist classified ad Web site.

Maybe he should just order himself a bride from The Philippines or Russia.
