Great write up but I have to wonder if it's not just another "make the ad good so it will get clicks" thing.

Yeah, I saw that earlier, sounded very much like the "My wife's beenie babies" eBay ad.

Wow! and he got $31.00 for it. I guess the story was worth that much atleast.

LOL and so much better then the "Oops I forgot I was naked when I took this picture in front of my very reflective item" ads.

Ok, I posted the ebay item link on another message board I frequent and someone from there actually wrote to the guy to tell him, well, just read for yourselves...

I Emailed the seller of that pen auction that Araxx linked to, just to tell him how funny I thought the auction was. I actually got a response, too.

Here's what I wrote:

Dear sparkygonewild,

I just wanted to applaud you on your eBay auction listing for "Jean Pierre Le'pine pen from Ex-Wife". I thought it was the best eBay item description I've ever read, and there have been some funny ones out there. Bravo! -- Damon


Here's his response:

Your words brought gushing tears to my eyes. Thank you for your kind thoughts. I can only hope that you do not come upon the same situation in your life. Grocery bills can be hideous if you are feeding hay and sirloins hourly to your spouse. I won't even get into the sour cream for that damn potato.
If I had the power, money and knowledge, I would love to send you a similar crappy pen. If I find anything else laying around that makes me itchy, you'll be the first to know.

Thanks for writing, and for continuing to laugh at my misery. Keep your eye out for some other crap I may put on eBay.

Sincerely,

Sparkygonewild AKA Mark

I don't think I've had a chuckle that good in a LONG time!

All of his amendments to the auction were just the topping on the cake! This is one of my favorites:
I apologize for listing this in "fine writing instruments". If they had a category for "stuff given to you by ex-spouse that you could never ever possibly want in your house ever", I would have put it there. My apologies.
