  • That's brilliant! Except it doesn't sound like a good idea if she comes back for her things...

    I have a feeling he doesn't think she will.... ;)
  • If anyone needs to get rid of their ex's belongings, and make some money, here an idea:

    How to turn a box of junk in to a sought after item for any self respecting pervert...

    Surely selling someone's else's belongings without any indication of their agreement has to fall foul of some eBay policy or other? After all, you could interpret that this is essentially selling stolen goods.

    [If there was a clear indication that the owner wanted the items disposed of, that would be different, but I can't see that there is].

    Why?

    As an aside, i don't want to jinx my relationship, but if this goes for a good price, I might ask the other half for any girly crap she doesn't want and try the same sort of auction myself!

    Gosh people have perverted minds here, it didn't occur to me that it could be within the 'dirty underwear' category....
    With all the proper second hand hosiery, socks etc on offer, why would someone want to go for a mystery box full of junk?
