Caravan owner places caravan up for auction with the wittiest online advertisement imaginable
If you’re in the market for a depressing caravan “suitable for affairs or murders,” then you’re in luck. A woman in the UK placed her dodgy caravan for sale on eBay yesterday and has already racked up dozens of bids from people praising her witty sales technique.
The “s***house crap caravan”, as it is advertised, was an impromptu purchase by the seller’s husband. She writes: “Apparently I owned this utterly crap caravan for three weeks before actually setting eyes on it.
“My husband drunkenly bought it on Ebay, and neglected to mention that one day he’d taken the day off work and driven halfway across the country to pick it up, deposit it around the back of our office, and failed to declare it as a marital ‘asset’ until recently.
“Luckily, I’m the trusting type, and despite appearances I don’t think he bought it solely for the purpose of having a sordid extramarital affair or taking up dogging, however as you might be able to see from the pictures, it would be perfect for both,” she explains.
Despite the colorful advertisement and the caravan’s grubby sofa, foggy windows, and deteriorating kitchen, potential buyers seem to keep rolling in.
The ad was placed up yesterday and has already collected 133 bids from 46 different bidders with the highest bid standing at a rather incredible, and miraculous £80,000.
The seller explains that any buyer could try to convert the caravan to something suitable for a human being, but also writes: “ABSOLUTELY NOT to be undertaken by anyone with small children, better things to do, or indeed, any reliable form of social life.”
In a later edit, she added: “It has been brought to my attention that the ‘caravan’ would also be suitable for use as a rolling meth lab. Apologies for the omission.”
