Flog the Mother in law on eBay
Published April 7th, 2006
Steve Owen is so sick of his nagging mother-in-law he has advertised her for sale on eBay.
Jobless Steve, 42, slapped a photo of 50-year-old Caroline Allen under “Collectables And Weird Stuff†on the internet auction site — describing her as “usedâ€.
He has invited bids starting at just £1.
Steve posted his ad titled “Mum-in-law for sale†after Caroline quit her home of 27 years in America and bought a house round the corner from him and common-law wife Tracey, 35, in Alvaston, Derby.
In a badly-spelled message he wrote: “This is an old mother-in-law and has not been worked on since 1980. Needs WD40 and she will not nag much. Come from the USA. I’d like a man to take her back there. Not bad for the age. Good with pets. Good with food.â€
Steve said last night: “I’m deadly serious. She comes to the house every day trying to change me and make me tidy.
“I just hope someone will take her off my hands. She’s single and not bad looking.â€
Caroline hit back: “He’s lazy and I won’t stop nagging him until he changes — that’s my job.
“But he could have made the starting bid £100. I look better in the flesh.â€
