Woman Auctioning Her Family's Debt on eBay

April 28, 2008

The Indiana University alumni who tried to auction her student loans on eBay didn't have much luck, but another woman is hoping there are buyers out there who would be more willing to bid on her family's $103,254.11 debt. The listing is titled "My Debt, all of my worldly bills comes with house and car" with the caption "My Family Second Chance," and the seller provides a picture of the house, car, and a photo of her family of five. To see a breakdown of the $103,254.11 debt just read more.

$48,815.56 Large part of home loan
$12,439.49 second part to home loan
$12,692.22 Student loan

$292.71 Credit card self
$4,744.88 Personal loan home improvements

You could purchase any and/or all of My Debt. You do not have to buy it all, you can pick and choose.

I think this is absolutely shameful! Either pay it off yourself or file for bankruptcy if the situation is that bad.

I am confused. She should be embarrassed.

Oh boo hoo. How shameless. Living beyond their means, perhaps?

Think about it -- what part of "buying someone else's debt" sounds appealing?

Haha! My first thought was what the heck was the husband buying if the wife has so little on her card?

Buy their debt? That is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of.

I really don't get this. THey're trying to get people to pay their debt? But get nothing in return? How does that make any sense?

:OY: seriously pay for it yourself. You accumulated the debt now you have to deal with the consequences.

I wonder what her husband is buying as opposed to herself! He seems to have accrued much more personal credit debt; maybe this goes back to that one post about women being more frugal in times of trouble?
