Melody - Thank you .. I know I have a strange sense of humor but I thought it was FUNNY as hell.. I started laughing and laughing My WW came in and asked what so I read that part about

Final Notice and Disclaimer: I know nothing about these stuffed Beanie Babies. I offer no proof of anything. It is a stuffed animal, get over it! I don't think my ex-wife was in the Black Market Beanie Trade..but then again, I didn't know she was having an affair either! Thus no gauruntees! All have theior little Heart Shaped tags on their ears.

She looked at me and said YEA real funny.. it was way worth it ....she hasn't come back in the room since .. thank you again I definetly needed the laugh <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I was interested in the name of the buyer. GloryBeeto? Any correlation with GloryB? Wouldn't that be ironic....

Hilarious! (But I'm not a BB collector <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> ). Did you read the part at the very end...

Mel,

22222 funny. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> I laughed sooo hard. Called in H from yardwork. He hops on Ebay and posts it on a site he is a member on and even had them laughing. Evidently it is making the circuit.... an ebay responder said an IT person sent it to them. Over 1000 hits today! The count was over 300K! WOW <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Thanks for the laugh. I think this guy has a great sense of humor.

This story reminded me of the one where a woman put an add in the paper selling a brand new Mercedes Benz for $10.00. Practically nobody that read it took it seriously so they didn't bother to check it out for accuracy, except one man who called the woman up to ask if her asking price was true or just a typo. The woman confirmed the asking price and gave him her address to come check out the car. The buyer went to the woman's house and discovered that the car was in immaculate condition bodywise and enginewise that he immediately gave the woman the $10.00 and she gave him the title, bill of sale, and keys to the car. Just before the buyer left, he turned around and asked her why she sold this car that is worth thousands of dollars for such a ridiculous amount. She confided that the car was her EX-WH's pride and joy just prior to his running away to Cancun with an OW. Recently he sent her a letter telling her to sell the car and send him the money from the sale. She said she never felt so good and that it was better than all the recovery therapy she had after he left her. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

TMCM This is the most fun story on recovery I ever read here! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Thanks!

The whole thing is hilarious, but what stood out to me was the SELLER'S name - "drunken sailor??" Wonder how THAT plays into his divorce? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Okay, I was laughing out loud the whole time I was reading that. My parents must think I've completely lost my mind. Not that that would be an unreasonable assumption, of course.

Just J, I am still laughing about it! I have probably reread the darn thing 10 times and it still makes me laugh! This guy is such a typical GUY that he is hilarious in his incredulity that anyone could be so dense as to actually pay money for a beanie baby!

Thanks for sharing Melody! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I have one of those beanie babies... the peanut elephant one. Although... no tag is on it, and it was drooled on by my kids MANY times.

A friend of mine gave it to Andrew for his baptism back in April 1997. This same friend just got married today, October 25th... what would have been Andrew's 7th birthday. Damn... I kind of wish I had kept the tag on it... then I could have given it back to her for a wedding present. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

lol ... I don't think this is off topic at all.

Actually someone here who is on e-bay ought to send him a link to this thread and thank him for giving people who knows how he feels, such a good laugh. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
