I listed WHAT on eBay?!
For years, at least ten, I’ve wanted a Louis Vuitton Bucket bag- size large. I love the timeless pattern, how each flower design and LV monogram are evenly aligned on all sides of the bag, the colors and the perfect stitching. I love everything about this style of bag- everything except the fact that I simply don’t have it in my single-mom-budget to buy one. After all, my kids can’t eat a Louis Vuitton bag and the electric company won’t accept a Louis Vuitton bag as a form of payment to keep my lights on.
Cue eBay. I’ve never been an eBay-er, only using it once to sell my wisdom teeth after I had them extracted (they actually sold); however, a few months ago, I found myself perusing eBay’s virtual shelves. I wasn’t looking for a Louie Vuitton Bucket bag (OK, maybe subconsciously I was) but, I found that there were SO MANY being auctioned and most starting bids were at most, $99. What if I could actually buy this bag for ONLY $99?! I placed my bid. $99. Then $101. Then $106. Clearly, the person who was bidding against me didn’t want to see me own this bag and I, certainly wasn’t going to let her have it either. The auction clock was ticking. We were nearing the end of the auction and I was still clicking to increase my bid, no longer interested in the bag only the win. How much was I spending?? I didn’t know and I didn’t care…. until on my computer screen, a notification popped up that I had won the auction. My stomach dropped…. I won!!!!
OH. SHIT. I won.... Oops.
My $99 Louie Vuitton Bucket bag turned in to a $347 Louie Vuitton Bucket bag. A BARGAIN, but still, shit because I just didn’t have $347 to spend on a pocketbook. So, I knew that as soon as I received it, I would be placing my new Louie Vuitton Bucket bag right back on to eBay’s virtual shelves. As soon as it arrived, I pulled the bag out of the box and after pretending it was mine for a couple days a couple weeks (I’m a horrible liar), “it” was back on eBay.After two days with no bids, I checked my listing wondering if no one was bidding because the “normally comes with it” wallet wasn’t included. What I found, was that the reason had nothing to do with the wallet....no one was bidding because what I had listed to sell wasn’t a bag at all….
For two days I had a "second hand vag" listed for sale on eBay.
I mistakenly hit the "v" key rather than the "b" key when typing the description for the Bag I was listing on eBay. My first thought was about how fitting this was with the kind of luck I have (none/ironic/bizarre/etc).I could have hit the "g" the "h" or the "n" (the other letters that surround the "b" on a keyboard) but no, my finger selected the one letter that would change my intended rated G eBay listing in to one that was rated X. My real first thought was that I noticed too soon. If I hadn't noticed this typo for another day or two, surely, I would have received at LEAST one bid.

I wrote this hoping to share in laughter. If it made you laugh, it might make someone else laugh, too! Please feel free to pass it on :) http://raretuna.com/i-listed-what-on-ebay/
Thanks for the fun Anna! Anyone who gets a good price for their wisdom teeth will be successful. Maybe because I'm European or just plain stupid, but I had no idea what 'vag' meant. I became more intrigued when ebay gave it an X rating. Yes, I googled and laughed even louder.
I'm laughing over my morning coffee! Great sense of humour! It's set me up for the day. Thanks!
You are more than welcome. I think that was the first time I laughed today. I could see me doing something just like that but I'm glad it was you and not me. Wonder what you would have done if someone did bid on a second hand vag?
Ha! That's a no win situation right there. I was miffed (briefly, I swear) without a single bid and I'm sure, I would have been a little ill over seeing a bid was made haha!
