After waiting 17 years for O.J. Simpson to pay a $9 million wrongful death judgment, Ronald Goldman's mother is selling her right to the cash online. Sharon Rufo listed the judgment Tuesday with a $1 million starting price.

The winning bidder takes on the risk of collecting from the financially-strapped former football star. Simpson was arrested in Las Vegas in 2007 and charged with numerous felonies, including armed robbery and kidnapping. He was found guilty in 2008 and is serving time at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Lovelock, Nevada. A jury acquitted Simpson in 1995 of killing Goldman and ex-wife Nicole Brown.
