Men, a word of advice; if you really want to enrage your other half, try comparing them to a used car. On eBay.
Astonishingly, the husband who decided selling his wife on eBay was a good idea was actually looking for some sympathy.
And thought this would be a good way to get it.
Simon O’Kane, 33, from Wakefield, Yorkshire, listed his wife Leandra on the auction site as a joke. Because he wanted to get back at her after he’d been ill and she hadn’t looked after him properly. That man flu must have been really terrible.
His advert – ‘Used Wife’ came with a list of pros and cons to help eBay users decide whether they maybe wanted to bid.
Pros: ‘decent bodywork’; Cons: ‘Often makes this noise that cannot be silenced unless you order brand new shiny parts of metal.’ This was all accompanied by a sassy pic of Leandra alongside the listing.
Simon also wrote: ‘Offers welcome, may consider a part exchange for a younger model.’
We bet his wife loved that bit!
The advert was then taken down by eBay, despite a great deal of interest from buyers, with bids topping £65,00. Inevitably, there were a few ‘pervy’ messages. How delightful.
Luckily, Leandra has taken it on the chin and forgiven Simon. Because that’s acceptable behaviour…. She must have one great sense of humour!
