I will sell your unwanted items via Craigslist



               
                One day, I was pointed in the direction of this fashion app called Wanelo.  I know nothing about Pinterest, or how it works, or how I pin something,  but Wanelo, I guess is the fashion equivalent.  Trying to figure out these apps makes me feel old and out of touch with the trending "cool" phone things, so I more a less pretend I know what the hell I'm doing  and just run with it.  Anyway, since being introduced to Wanelo, a series of unfortunate events starting happening with my credit card and resulted in me signing up for both an Ebay and Paypal account.  When I discovered Ebay for the first time (yes I am a late bloomer, shut up)  it was like a holy experience for me.  Not only could I buy things for super cheap and potentially win an "auction", I could also purchase peoples unwanted shit.  The more I searched,  It was like I had stepped in to a massive online yard sale!  The first time I received a notification that I had "won" an auction, it was like a huge sense of accomplishment.  I thought to myself, "Fuck yea, I won something, all you other bidders can kiss my ass" only to discover that I was the lone bidder on the object in question.  Following my roller coaster of emotion from going from feeling like I had just won the lottery, to a day in the life of Lindsey Lohan, I had the genius idea that I was going to start my own online store to rid myself of my very own unwanted shit.  I had planned on calling my online store, "Shelby's Unwanted Shit" Store, but the name itself wasn't very sexy, and being too lazy to actually do all the work, I decided that rather than trying to go through all that time and effort, why not put my writing skills to use as a side job and see if I could sell people's unwanted shit via Craigslist. 
                I asked some of my single friends this question:  "Give me a list of items that you want to get rid of after your breakup" and  I will compile my very own craigslist "For Sale" ad for you.   

Here goes nothing:

Fire Sale - No Literally Everything Will Be Set on Fire if not sold..
                I currently am in possession of a variety of men's clothes.  I several shirts, sizes ranging from Medium to XL because the pretentious prick's weight was more of a roller coaster ride then my emotions when I'm PMSing.  Other than a few permanent sweat marks in the armpit area due to an his nationality, they are in decent condition.  If you are not in the market for shirts, they also make great dish towels, dust rags, and even high end reusable toilet paper.   There is a money back guarantee that your ass will not chafe while using them!  I also have pants in stock, however I am unsure of the size because again the pompous douchebag ripped all of the tags out with the hopes of them "still fitting" even on his "fat" days.  I will take measurements for anyone interested, however if you are not seeking pants to wear, may I suggest using them for seasonal usages such as making Scarecrows or Snowmen.   I am also in possession of several pairs of sneakers, which need to be gone ASAP because they metaphorically represent the part of our relationship where I was walked over, and I want them gone.  If you are not looking to wear them, they have a high entertainment value to them.  Why not take them and throw them over the electrical wires in your neighborhood, and watch your neighbors look at them in awe and ponder how they got up there and who's shoes they in fact are?  Or leave them on the side of East Carson street and watch people enviously think, "Wow, whose shoes are those, and I wish I partied as hard as they did."   If all of these items are not sold by 6pm tomorrow (Friday), then I will be having a bonfire party at my house.  Single men and women are welcome, pending they clear a background check.  All Items are $1 OBO


Let's Picture Happy Times
                For Sale: Several picture frames with pictures already in them.  You know when you get a picture frame from the store, and they have corny pictures of politically correct families smiling and laughing as if they are our era's version of the fucking Brady Bunch?  Yeah I hate that too...why not purchase picture frames that have pictures in them that reflect real people in a failed relationship?  I have pretty much every phase of my failed relationship from start to finish starting with:  "The Honeymoon Period" - all smiles and not a care in the world, "Token Kissing Picture - taken to make all my single friends jealous, and making all my married friends shut the fuck up, "We are a Couple, Now What?" - the smile starts getting more forced; I'm contemplating how fat I look while he is wondering what is for dinner, "We are Comfortable, the Excitement is Gone" - even faker smiles and clothing has gone from dress clothes to sweatpants and loungewear, "You Lied to Me and I caught  You" - there is no red eye correction, it is actual fire coming from my eyeballs, and if you look closely you may see a vein popping out of my neck, however he was smart enough to fess up in a public place causing me to not rip his head off, "I Hope You Get the Clap and Your Dick Falls off" - the final picture during the breakup (taken by a guest photographer..AKA one of my friends) after giving him another chance, only to find out that he was still sleeping with his ex.  Please note the excruciating look of pain on his face is real, considering he took a 5 inch heel to his balls and the expression of relief on my face is genuine and real.    Who needs a Facebook timeline, when you can have a framed timeline of my very own failed relationship for a small price!  If you buy now, I will throw in drinks at my favorite bar that has a dartboard.  We can remove the pictures one by one and bond over a game of darts. Hello new friend!


Have some fun, at my expense..please
                As I was doing my post breakup cleaning, it was brought to my attention that I have collected way to many sex toys during my last relationship.  I didn't realize how many I had actually collected, because while we were dating, I tried to justify the items he would pick up at the porn store as a sign of him being "adventurous" when my gut was telling me "this is weird, even for me."  So here I sit, with a box full of random sex toys thinking to myself, "You can't just throw these away...Would you throw away the last piece of cake all because it fell on the floor and got a little dirty?  Hell no, you pick that shit up, wipe it off and eat around the unsalvageable parts."    So with that in mind, I like to compare my sex toys to that of a used car, because in all reality, my relationship was literally a total wreck and I came to find out that my most recent ex is the equivalent of a lemon, so why not try to sell these items maintaining the theme of our relationship right?  All items are best offer
              
        Multiple Vibrators - Slightly used but in great condition.  All have had thorough detailing via multiple sanitizers.  One owner.  If you are looking  for ones that are similar to Hybrid models  (energy efficient  and get good  mileage) I have several that only require one AA battery.  If you are looking to splurge with more of a SUV model, I do have a few that take C batteries.  These are not as energy efficient, however the safety rating would make them "Soccer Mom" approved.   Now if you really want some power between your legs, I have one available that is the equivalent of a Harley.  It requires D batteries, the safety rating sucks, but you will in fact go on the best joyride of your life.

                Anal Beads - No if, ands or butts about it people, these are the legit 50 shades of Fucking Gray quality.  Again slightly used but in great condition and again have had a full detailing session via multiple sanitizers.  Very easy navigate in to tiny parking places.  No test drive available.  I will also throw in a bottle of lube to ensure a great, smooth shifting transmission.  Does not show any signs of collision damage.  Multiple owners, but the item that has been maintained as if it has only had one. Only comes in one color, Candy Apple Red.  If you don't buy these now, you will more than likely scream with regret later...then again if you buy them you will probably be doing the same thing regardless.  

Keeping it Real -
Shelby
