Who Needs the Prom When You Have eBay!

Posted by Ryan on May 16, 2007 at 01:06 PM in eBay in Pop Culture , General | Permalink

Ryan_post3_2It was Spring of 2004.  I had just moved from PayPal over to eBay and all around the office everyone was buzzing about some hilarious guy who was selling his ex-wife's wedding dress on eBay. 

Almost exactly 3 years later I find myself drawn to a similarly interesting listing that's a testament to the trials and tribulations of relationships.  This time the seller is a high school freshman (using her mom's account ... with permission and assistance - I checked ).  The recent victim of a pre-prom breakup found herself in need of some extra cash (after shelling out money for her prom gear she could no longer use) and turned to eBay to try to recoup some of her funds - and rid herself of some bad boyfriend memories at the same time. The guy's heart was cold, but your head won't be if you like her item! Check out the listing for her complete story.
