A PRANKSTER put his wife up for sale on eBay highlighting her “decent bodywork and skills in the kitchen” after claiming she was unsympathetic when he moaned about feeling unwell.
Simon O’Kane, from Yorkshire, England posted a picture of his wife Leandra, 27, on eBay.
In mock irritation with his wife’s “unsympathetic attitude”, he put her up for sale on eBay in an ad for used cars.
Within hours, bids were said to have hit nearly £66,000 and his wife declared that she wanted to kill him.
It all started last Wednesday evening when 33-year-old Simon returned home and said he was not feeling too well.
His wife, a mother of two, apparently wasn’t much concerned. According to Simon, she said he was ”burning the candle at both ends” and was ”basically just whining” at him, and so he thought to himself that he was going to put her up for sale.
The telecom engineer went on to post a picture of Leandra on the auction site alongside an advertisement titled “used wife”, detailing his reasons for selling her and the pros and cons of the “purchase”.
The post read: “For sale one wife. Not new has been used but still got some good miles left in her. Reason for selling… I’ve had my fill and feel like there has to be someone me (oh dear God please let there be)”.
He even highlighted her “decent bodywork and skills in the kitchen”.
“Good points: Body work and paint work still in decent shape and has some skills in the kitchen,” he wrote.
“Bad points: Often makes this noise that cannot be silenced unless you order brand new shiny parts of metal,” he added.
He was stunned when the bids hit £65,880 within two days and his wife said she “wanted to kill him” when she discovered what he did the next day.
