eBay drama that has nothing to do with eBay... WTF?
So, I'm looking at my friends list over on LJ, and jurhael/
psychofangirl posted a link to a seller she normally purchases stuff from. Normal enough, right?
Wrong! This happens to be a very special auction, for the seller is apparently offering photographs of her sister-in-law having an affair.
The auction info, saved for posterity:
(This is just a sample of the photos you will receive!)
Did the title grab your attention? Well, the story behind this auction is even better…
It all started back in 1995, when my husband divorced his now ex-wife. A few short months later, she married his brother. Not for love; but to ensure that she could forever make my husband’s life a living hell. Well, it worked well enough with my husband’s second wife; but now there’s a whole new player in the game. Obliviously, she hasn’t been privy to my tales of revenge and public humiliation of my enemies when I have had ENOUGH!
Recently, I became aware of the fact that she feels all my eBay activities, as well as my private life, are of her concern. So, I’ve decided to oblige her with information she has yet to discover and, in turn, make her personal affairs my concern. And everyone else's concern, for that matter!
A while back it came to light that she has been having an affair. Having prior experience as a private investigator and legal secretary, I put this knowledge to work and decided to gather the goods. Now that I’ve got double prints, I decided “Hey, she’s watching my eBay auctions. Maybe she’d be interested in bidding on them.”
The high bidder of this auction will receive quality prints exposing my husband’s ex/sister-in-law in the act of inappropriate marital conduct; hmm, hmm, INFIDELITY; aka Screwing Around On Her Husband. You get the picture (Literally, if you’re the high bidder!)
In the photos, you’ll follow the ex’s course through frequent meetings at the local Courthouse and various other places. You’ll get an up front and personal view of hands on _________ (use your imagination).
And guess what? I’m so willing to share my knowledge of this illicit affair; you don’t even have to pay shipping!
Questions? Email me. Sorry, names will not be released. And due to certain laws, I must keep myself legal, and names and location cannot be provided even to high bidder. But you sure will enjoy the pics!
HOW YA LIKE ME NOW!

Well, it seems that even though I put the least risque photos up, I'm still going too far. LOL So, I've taken them down. But if you want them, email me and I'll be glad to give you a preview!

Thanks to everyone for being so supportive of my efforts! I believe that my SIL has undoubtedly seen this by now as her number is already on my Caller I.D.! (That'll teach her!)
Thanks to those who suggested I include a link to where the pics are located. That's a great idea; but to make sure that I am well within legal limits, I'm going to stick to just emailing. You know, so she can't say I posted her pic on the WWW thereby causing her pain and suffering; yadda yadda yadda...again, you get the pic! I'm all too familiar with lawyers and their frivolous lawsuits.
Please be patient with me! I have received a ton of email requesting pics. I'll do my best to get them out to everyone who requested them.
For all you new wives out there with the pain in the @ss ex-wife to deal with, this auction was as much for you as it was for me!

One more thing I forgot to add...
Some emails I have received indicate that you are seeing this as beef with just a SIL and others of you see this as just an ex-wife problem.
Just to make sure everyone is on the same page, I want to clarify that this woman is not only my current Sister-in-Law, she's also my husband's ex-wife. SHE MARRIED MY HUSBAND'S BROTHER AFTER SHE & MY HUSBAND DIVORCED.
She is an ex-wife and sister-in-law. Like most ex-wives (I myself being one), she didn't just get on with her life and see my husband every other weekend, etc to exchange the child. Oh no, she had to remain in the family.
Look folks, we live in Tennessee, but even here this is weird! I've had mountain folk who've been to cousin weddings (really!) go "Ohh! What man would do that to his brother?"

Hey y'all....mission accomplished. I'm cancelling this auction because I've done what I set out to do. I think the lesson learned here is if you open Pandora's box you best be ready to deal with it.
Because of the legalities, I will not be emailing photos at this time.
Thanks to everyone for your emails and your support. You guys have been awesome! Feel free to copy this auction and send it to someone who needs a good life lesson.
Whether it's true or not... Jesus, I'd never want to be on the bad side of someone like that!
