This is an ex-husband story so if you're just not into those, please accept my apologies and find another one of my posts. Perhaps you'd like to hear about my wonderful son, Red (not related in any way to this particular ex) and his adventures with his canine brother, Mick?
There are a lot of reasons I am no longer married to the ex and eBay is just one of them. The ex was addicted to what he called, "the kill". He'd surf the eBay site looking for things he enjoyed collecting.
He'd put it on his list to watch and he'd track the item and then just as the sale was about to end, I'm talking the very last few seconds of the sale, he'd swoop in and snatch the treasure away from someone with a bid just as low as he could above theirs. The Kill!
I don't think "The Kill" is in the true spirit of eBay, but oh how he enjoyed it. Dinner was often timed around his hunting schedules. I never did share his passion for it, even when he claimed to have gotten things for me.
Like many other wives of hunters, I had a lot of work to do after his successful kills. Paperwork! Posting. Tracking. Money. Sure, he'd "reimburse" me for the items after making me ask a few times (is that passive aggressive or a control issue?), but I didn't get reimbursed for my time...
...until now when I offer it all back from which it came! See you on eBay!
just as soon as I graduate eBay University and know how to create a store...
