| An ebay Disaster |
| First off, I love ebay. Second, I like new things. So when I found 2 "nice" Victoria's Secret bras listed on ebay for a reasonable price, I bid and won. Deceptive listing! They were not new as I was led to believe! Had I known they were used, I would not have bid...I don't want used undergarments! Anyway, I was duped. I got these in the mail last week and when I opened the package, I was met with an overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke attached to 2 ancient bras...even one of my friends who smokes was disgusted. I'm telling you, it was deception and I was pushed to my limit. I emailed the seller and said this: "I received the two bras (this and a black one from another auction). What can I say? They are as tired as an old housewife, with the elastic having seen better days, the seams coming unraveled, and smelling of old cigarette smoke. Definitely not what I expected." She answered: "hi i am really sorry if you r dissapointed . please understand that i never said that my items came from a smoke free house and it never said new . i really honestly do not beleive that it is as bad as you make it sound . the bra was only worn for like 3 months . i am really sorry you r dissapointed . if you would like to return the bra to me I will be happy to give you a refund minus the shipping. thank-you for contacting me . have a great night" Only worn for three months? That's three months too long if you want to sell them! In the spirit of true generosity, I have decided to help this seller. When I send her bras back to her, I will also give her this new, improved, and truthful ebay listing. I hope she relists her items with my description. Here is the truth... Up for your consideration, we have two very tired bras. If they were a book, they'd be out of print. If they were a car, they'd be totaled. The first bra is black with frayed lace. I wore this non-stop for three months straight, and while wearing it, I washed the dog, mowed the yard, visited the sauna...you name it! When I finally took it off, I used the cups as double ash trays. After that, I emptied them and carefully packaged the bra for shipping. The second bra is a leopard print. I had only worn this one for 2 months when the Department of Health tried to force me to take it off. However, after paying a small fine, I prevailed and wore it another month before PETA stepped in and accused me of animal cruelty. Do leopards live in the desert? Because their investigation mentioned something about dragging a leopard across the Sahara Desert behind a pregnant camel. Go figure. Anyway, this bra looks like it should be taken out back and shot. I think you will enjoy these undergarments. Please visit my ebay store. For the man in your life, I have some undergarments as well. Please note: In another 3 months, I will have another bra for sale. At that time, I will also list my husband's work underwear (He works in a boiler room). Add me to your favorite sellers! Well, thanks for letting me vent my disgust. As I think about sending these back, I am a little worried that these garments won't make it through another mailing. Perhaps they will disintegrate and the seller will be left with an empty package that smells vaguely of cigarette smoke and dust. I just thought of something...I have a brilliant theory! You know those people who mysteriously burst into flames for no apparent reason? Medical investigators can't explain why it happens. I've seen pictures of the aftermath...only a pair of slippers by a charred lazyboy chair. I think I've solved the mystery...I think that undergarments play a role in this. Okay people...remember what your mom always told you! Wear clean undergarments because you never know when you might be in an accident that involves slippers and spontaneous combustion. Moms, warn your kids about the danger of online predators. These people will take your money and give you nothing but a dead bra. |
