Sleep with my man? I sell your panties on eBay!
Don't tell Elizabeth Edwards: Gizmodo says a scorned Aussie is auctioning a photo of her cheating husband's girlfriend's panties on eBay!
Apparently, the wife received a text message obviously not meant for her. She arrived home soon after to discover her husband in their bedroom with some incriminating black lacy drawers and a used condom under the pillow. (Ew...not a good place for that, dude.)
Both the "tart's knickers," as she calls them, and the rubber wrapper were up for sale on eBay, but the company pulled the panties citing a rule about no used … Read More
Australian Ian Usher has successfully auctioned off his life.
A dude in Australia got divorced and decided that he was sick (and tired) of his life and wanted to try something new. But he still had all the trappings of his former life: home, job, friends, jet skis. So he decided that he'd finance his new life by flipping his old life on eBay. After selling off his belongings, amigos, and career, Ian Usher was going to collect the cash, scoop up his passport, and head for parts unknown. He valued his belongings at about $385,000.
Starting over is never easy, but this is as close as we've … Read More
Enlists eBay to fill bridal party slot.
We're not sure if Virginia Beach resident and bride-to-be Kelly Gray could find a final gal pal to complete the bridal party or she was just looking to make some extra cash, but she put a bridesmaid spot in her upcoming wedding on eBay, according to The New York Times. Usually, people inwardly grumble when asked to be part of the wedding, if you've been in enough, you know the all-too-familiar grumble. The money you'll be spending, the mandatory bachelorette-party attendance. Who would pay to partake? (Sorry, brides.) Weird, right?
Ever weirder, the 23-year-old hairdresser was surprised … Read More
The eBay bidding on Ian Usher's life is looking pretty good.
Not sure if you remember Ian Usher. He's the dude that decided he'd had enough of his life after getting divorced. But instead of making out with a revolver or chasing a bottle of Advil with a bottle of blackberry brandy, he decided to just auction his old life away. Ring a bell? The Perth, Australia man decided to put everything he owns (including jet skis!) up for sale. He valued all of his belongings at about $385,000 but according to UPI the bidding on eBay (naturally) is up to about $1.7 million. Did we … Read More
Angry husband posts wife for £1; gets hundreds of bids up to £750K.
The US had the Bobbitts, and now the UK has the Osborns.
Ok, maybe a penectomy ranks higher on the "ouch" scale than attempting to sell one's wife, but how about when you list her as "my lying, cheating, adulterous whore of a wife of 26 years" on eBay? Yikes. Not hard to guess the back story on this one.
I'd like to think all's well that ends well because Paul took down the post before the allotted auction time expired, thereby shattering the dreams of hundreds who had bid amounts of up to £750,000 … Read More

So, a sob story might not be on the auction block, but everything else is -- even his … Read More
