Man models ex-wife's wedding dress on eBay, fetches $25K bid

You know what they say: Always a bridesmaid...
SEATTLE – For sale: One wedding gown, slightly used, worn only twice – once by the bride, once by the groom.

It's an eBay auction that's turning a burly, bearded biker into a blushing bride.

You know a guy is broken up about his big breakup when he starts to wear his ex-wife's wedding dress around the house.

When Larry Star's wife left him two years ago, she kept the $4,000 ring, but left the $1,200 dress.

"This dress cost me $1,200 that my drunken sot of an ex-father-in-law swore up and down he would pay for but didn't so I got stuck with the bill," Star wrote on his eBay description. "Luckily I only got stuck with his daughter for 5 years."

The gown – size 12 and sleeveless, so as to accent any tattoos – was originally slated to be burned.

But then Star decided revenge is best served up on eBay, where the auction page has already received 140 bids and more than a million hits.

Among the bids is a handful of marriage proposals.

At last check, bidding was up to $25,100. Star says he'd like to use the money to buy some beer and see a Mariners game.

Well, it looks like Ebay set the time to go to it's original end date and weeded out most the bogus bidders.....

It's down to $15,100 with 4 hours and 20 minutes left. And the counter is well over 4 million.
He's added a new msg

We have a website coming that everyone can check out. It will be up soon.

Please only bid if you are serious. Or really, really hot.

Here's the latest update he made:

"Woooooooohoooooo! What a wild ride! The emails are coming faster than the hits. And now personal appearances. First Star94 radio in Atlanta, then King5 in Seattle,now the Today Show with that I-used-to-be-a-fat-weatherman-but-now-I-am-as-skinny-as-Regis-but-twice-as-funny Al "I will turn this car around" Roker.
It is amazing; all this media hype. Hey, Al! Any relation to Roxy?
EBay has graciously allowed me to update this page once more. So I will keep it brief.

This one guy emailed me and said, "Hey, bud. What part of Texas do you live?"
Uh... Well, sir, I am from Seattle. Uh, Seattle, Texas.
Right next to AreYouAFreakingMoron, Texas, which is a hop, skip and jump from IWasEducatedByGeorgeBush, Texas. Thanks for asking, neighbor."

enjoy .... Andy

that has to be the funniest thing I've come across in a long time!

My fav line:
"It’s also the first time I’ve been inside something feminine that didn’t nag me to take out the garbage."

What a hoot this dude is! Watch out for him...he will be hosting a tv show in the near future...

 

[xABearx]

Well....the auction has ended and it looks like the final bid is at $3850 with almost 6 Million hits ..... I think the guy will be able to get his 2 tickets and beer for many years to come .... Andy

I had ths one on watch... wow, he really cleaned up!

Okay, what in the heck about the pics and this man's ideas for spending the money would attract women to want to MARRY him???? The report said he got several proposals! Ugh!

 

[minniecarousel]

WOW! There were a TON of retractions! I wonder if he really got $3850 for it.

 

[momm2four]

Our local news showed a preview clip of him a few minutes ago for tonight's news. He made the evening news!

Did you see marydmjj's follow-up?

Now, while he IS a very funny writer, it seems there are some domestic violence issues here as well, and that is NEVER funny.

WOW....the auction ended on the 28th of last month and there have been over 12 million hits, I wonder if that's a record for an Ebay auction ??
