Couple in MA selling debt on EBay Posted: 10 months ago by Moe
They are both out of a job with a 2 year old and a mortgage. They are selling their debt in $10.00 chunks. Buyers will get a thank you note and a photo of the family.
The original auction listing was removed by EBay, but was relisted here - probably with a wording change to make it acceptable.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
