I can't sell my husband for $1!

I love usedwinnipeg.com.

I sell everything I can on it, and I've made quite a few bucks doing so.

A couple of nights ago, I went on another "what can I sell?" rampage. As I was snapping photos and downloading them onto the site, Donovan was at his computer, working, with his tunes cranked. It was nearing midnight, and my energy was running low. My rampage was fuelled by the fact that he was still up, working, and I wanted to wait up with him. What can I say, I can't fall asleep unless he's lying beside me. (All together now, "Awwwww!")

So anyhoot, I had just finished posting the last of my items, and was really hoping to hit the hay soon, but Dono was still working.

So this incident spawned the following ad I placed on usedwinnipeg.com:

For sale: ONE HUSBAND!

He promised me an hour ago that he would be finished his work, and yet he's still up, working. And me, being the good wife, am up with him. Why? Because he's cranked his music up loud (and he knows we can both sleep in tomorrow, so he's taking advantage of this opportunity to blast his speakers!)

He's 31, has a great sense of humour, and is pretty good about taking out the garbage and doing dishes at least once every 2 weeks. As you can tell by the picture, he's very good at building forts with excessive amounts of paper towels.

His downfalls - he works too much!!! Also, he cranks old time country music and talk radio when we're in my car. Oh, and he plays hockey, so he's gone for a few nights out of the week, and when he comes home, he brings his sweaty hockey bagin the house and it stinks up everything! He's in relatively good condition, he's low maintenance, and doesn't take up too much space. I'm tired and I want to go to bed, but he's keeping me up with his loud June Carter music!

First $1 takes him! :)

Well, this ad created a lot of buzz from the deal-hungry vultures who live on this site! Here are some of the replies I received:

- ill take u out baby ur treat lol (I don't know what this means!!!!)

- if i were you i'd consider myself pretty lucky...my husband comes home, almost broke from the casino, drunk (driving of course), and doesnt want to sleep with me in case i try to intiate sex..also...he is bi-polar and narcissitic..but of course you're learning this before hand instead of AFTER he has fooled you like the sociopath that he is..also, he will spend all your inheritance from your father because "its not really your money anyways"..so..up for a trade? ...also, forget country music..this man LOVES his heavy metal! (but will pretend to be tolerant of other music while you are dating) (Ummm.....I think this person needs to talk to someone...badly...!)

- funny, I'm selling one just like yours- I've probably had him a little longer, coming up on 18 years, but still has great mileage left on him. No instructions included, but can be trained- I'm still working in that part!

- Great Add !!!! Needed a good Laugh

- ahahaha I wish i could sell my husband too for the $$$ but I'd rather bring him back to his mommy bwahaha!

- send me a pic of the wife (uhhhh....)

- Are you firm on your price? (And the award for Best Response to an Ad Ever goes to...!)

- thats the best ad ever on this site!!!!! always ask moremoney incase they try to talk you down lol

- Can you go any lower than $1.00 I might beinterested but only would have time on the weekend to pick him up what is youraddress so I can see in person? Thanks.

And then, I got a kick in the pants:

- Do not waste the space on this site for your attempt at half witted humor. Leave it for people who have legitimate items to post. (I thought it was pretty funny! Oh well!)

I'm guessing it's because of this grumpy gus that I received the following message:

Hi, I'm a moderator for UsedWinnipeg.com. I have removed your ad because it violates the Terms Of Use.

So, I guess that proves that I really can't sell my hubby for a $1! (Not that I would really WANT to... who else would take out the garbage every 2 wks?!) ;)

(Love you hun!)

*just a side note: I checked out the Terms of Use, and technically, my ad DIDN'T violate anything! Suck on THAT, usedwinnipeg.com! lol
