Debt free? Why not buy someone else’s debt on eBay then!

I firmly believe that people will buy just about anything on eBay. I know this because I have sold some pretty random stuff on eBay myself in the past. But selling your debt on eBay - that really takes the cake. In case you missed it, someone in Pennsylvania apparently also thinks that people will buy anything on eBay and is trying to sell $103,245.11 of debt. So if you are debt free or only, say $10,000 in debt, and want to up those numbers, now is your chance to be over $100K in debt!

And just what is this debt made up of? Well, according to the auction:

  • $48,815.56 Large part of home loan
  • $12,439.49 2nd part to home loan
  • $12,692.22 Student loan
  • $11,840.03 2nd student loan
  • $3,204.36 Credit card husbands
  • $292.71 Credit card self
  • $4,744.88 Personal loan home improvements
  • $9,215.86 Ford Focus 2004
  • Total= $103,245.11

The auction even says that you can take the house and the car if you want. But you do not have to. How gracious. No word yet though on if you get to take possession of all the crap she has been buying on eBay the past few months, as evidenced from her feedback profile.

Wal-Mart Freebies!

I love getting free stuff in the mail. And if you check out this Wal-Mart free samples page, there are all kinds of goodies that you can get for free!

I signed up for the Fiber One cereal sample and the Icy Hot patch sample. There are a few other goods ones too!

When I did mine it said it would take 4 weeks for the samples to arrive.
