This is how all items should be marketed. Got many a chuckle from this. Goes to show that when you want to sell, and sell big, always include the backstory.



PS - to those for whom eBay is not a work friendly site, this link takes you to one of their listings.

Call me crazy, but parts of the description sounded like they were ghost-written by Right Said Rick.

IfLit, I also thought the description had that same creative flair of some of the posters from here.

What is most interesting is that he paid $1200 for the dress and received nearly $4000 from the auction. And the dress isn't even that great. I've never seen an Ebay ad with so much commentary. The pics look something like a redneck, but the commentary sounds the opposite. I just wonder how many people were actually involved in the project.
