Default Cheating Dad........

I was just looking on ebay at these new mystery box things and came across this one. It is really heartbreaking some guy would do this to his family. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...716 4412&rd=1

Do you think it's true, or a scam to get people to view and bid?

my personal opinion is that they are playing the sympathy card to gte more money but I don't want to be rude if it truly is a true story in there life! It is a terrible thing to happend and I am sure it does happen after all look at peterson he did it but did it in a different city!

People are willing to sell anything on ebay lately.

Pregnant bellies to advertise
Advertising on a triplet stroller
Putting children in advertising clothing
A grandfather's ghost cane to do undo the haunting
Virgin Mary's face on sandwich

It is crazy what people are willing to see or even consider selling.

It is so easy to make up stories and a good sympathy story will get you more money. It's just hard to tell if it is the truth or not since there is no way to verify anything.
