Why would someone buy a peacock? What are they used for?

I love peacock-inspired art and decor, and am frequently looking on Craigslist and Ebay for interesting things for sale. I hadn't realized that you could buy an actual peacock. One is for sale for only $45! Why would you buy one? At a few places I've seen peacocks roaming the grounds to add beauty, but I don't know an individual would buy one. I live in LA. There aren't really a lot of farms around for them or anything.

They aren't harmed, are they? I mean, please tell me people don't actually eat them or anything. Do people keep them as pets?

Would they actually be good pets? They're so beautiful to look at but don't seem like they would be practical for pets at all.
