There are dozens of sad stories on eBay, where people try to sell items of small material value with their dramatic story. One woman tried to sell a cardboard box that she cried into after being taken advantage of and stolen from by someone who was supposed to help her repair her credit. Others offer lucky items or “their story” to anyone who can help them foot serious medical bills. You have to take most of these on faith.
But this listing says a thousand things in a single line and a picture of two prosthetic limbs, lying on a couch: “I need to sell my late husband’s right arm and leg to pay outstanding medical and funeral expenses.”
