Entrepreneur Wife Left At The Auction Altar
from the too-bad dept
Well, it appears, that the young female entrepreneur who decided that she'd done everything she's ever wanted to do in her life by the age of 24, except get married, won't be doing that right away either. After trying to auction her hand in marraige online using a variety of different services (eBay smartly pulled the auction off their site), she's now saying that the high bidder can't be found. It seems it was all a hoax on his part. Of course, I sitll think this was all a publicity stunt on her part, so I wouldn't be surprised if the "missing" high bidder was just a friend of her's who was told to make sure s/he was the highest bidder who later "couldn't be found". Shouldn't she just be forced to marry the next highest bidder? I think her QXL feedback rating should be dinged for failing to provide the goods or services promised.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
