eBay revenge of 'betrayed husband'
Evening Standard ^ | 18 May 2004 | Patrick Sawer

A betrayed husband is taking very public revenge on his wife - auctioning her underwear on the internet.

After she allegedly cheated on him with a man he calls Richard, the husband decided to humiliate her by auctioning her possessions on eBay. The web page - featuring a photograph of the wife - attracted more than 25,000 hits in less than 12 hours.

He started by selling a pair of her knickers, which attracted a bid of £245. eBay withdrew the item when it became aware of what was going on. The sale of used underwear is prohibited.

According to a message the husband posted on the page, his wife works for a telecoms company in Manchester and frequents the city's pubs and clubs.

He has threatened to "out" her to her employer and urges people logging onto eBay to email her and to say hi if they recognise her from the picture. The crude, rambling message reads: "OK people, I wont bore you with all the details but the SL*G is away on holiday (with my money) so I intend to flog all of her more personal stuff here on eBay. Starting with the sl*gs underware."

In a sinister message to his wife - who appears to be in her mid to late twenties - he states: "So honey, you're famous now. I hope Richard was worth it. I also hope some crazed knicker collector enjoys your own private collection - Silence of the Lambs style."

One internet user said: "Well, I almost feel sorry for him. But I have to feel sorry for her."

Four years ago details of PR executive Claire Swire's sex life were circulated on the internet after her boyfriend passed her explicit email to friends and the number of recipients snowballed.

No better revenge than to make money off of the unfaithful partner's alley cat behavior.
And, as an added bonus, you don't have to worry about moving her things out.
LOL!

Don't forget her favorite pair of shoes AND her most comfortable pair.

I'm wagering that since he's turning a profit on her behavior, that he's a dwarf at heart.
Vengeance AND profit all in one.

He may be a dwarf now, because she ripped his heart out and took a dump on it.

She should have just divorced him rather than live a lie, so at least he could find love (or lust?) elsewhere just as she was doing behind his back.

Daily we read of men shooting women who do this, worse sometimes even their kids.

I think this is a healthy way to deal with the pain she caused him, well ok not healthy but non violent.

"Whoa! Good lookin babe!"
Yeah, my first thought was along the lines of "Even if she IS a slag, where is she?"
