Ebay Saddness - 12-14-2006, 10:49 PM


So, I am doing a workshop in a few weeks and promised the model I'd handle the dress. I was looking on ebay and found this ad. Her wedding got called off and she had to list the dress, while she was in it, and took all the photos in a mirror. It made me sad. She looks utterly alone.

What I am confused with is the listing itself. She is advertising it as never worn but took pictures of herself in it???

She was trying it on in the bridal shop.

That's no bridal shop! lol That is her home/apartment/condo/ whatever. I don't believe a whole heck of a lot I see on ebay. Too many people trying to get money from sympathy in this world.

Actually, looking closer you're right, and although that doesn't mean she wore it I'd sure as heck hesitate before I'd buy a wedding gown off ebay! Camera lens maybe!
