An 18-year-old who put his suburban Kansas City high school for sale on Craigslist has been banned from graduation after the senior prank went awry.

The Kansas City Star reports Kylan Scheele listed Truman High School in Independence, Missouri, for the bargain price of $20,000 last week.

Problems arose when someone reported the posting as a possible threat because of Scheele's choice of wording.

He wrote that the reason for the sale was "the loss of students coming up."

Scheele says he was describing the loss of the graduates and has apologised.

But he's still been booted from Sunday's commencement.
