I don’t, ebay

Yesterday I shipped off one of the last momentos of my first marriage, my 14k wedding ring. I sold it on ebay for a whopping $10.05. I wondered if I would feel remorse, nostalgia or sentimental about shipping off the symbol of my first marriage to some stranger. Nope not really, I don’t think I thought about it for 5 seconds as I threw it an envelope with a packing slip that I hurriedly scribbled “Happy Holidays” on. I guess it is a shame in a way that my first marriage left me so void of feeling about it. There were many good times during that time period but they seem so distant because of the horrible aspects of the marriage that overshadowed them. It’s almost like it happened in another world to me.

Speaking of ebay, it truly amazes me what you can sell on there. I have had a hideously ugly woodgrain steering wheel cover with big bumpy rubber grips for sale on there for awhile. This eyesore was on my Vette when I bought it, which I immediately removed. I had it in my ebay store with little hope of ever selling it, figuring sooner or later I would just toss it out. Well someone bought it yesterday to my amazement. 2 dollar profit instead of adding more junk to the landfill, a win/win situation.
