Wedding Dress

Anyone interested in a $15,000 wedding dress, that's only worth about $1,000?

Haha that's nice, Gary, but it isn't my listing. Although I have to admit, I liked the guy's sense of humor...

I'm impressed by the counter on the page... At the moment, it's increasing by 800 hits per second!

Craig.

I noticed that the "Coming soon!" website address for the guy has been removed from the page: www.theebayweddingdressguy.com

Registered yesterday, the WHOIS record unsurprisingly does not have the fellow's name...

Winning bid: US $3,850.00

I like this part of his posts on the auction the most:

I’m selling it hoping to get enough money for maybe a couple of Mariners tickets and some beer. This dress cost me $1200 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. Luckily I only got stuck with his daughter for 5 years. Thank the Lord we didn't have kids. If they would have turned out like her or her family I would have slit my wrists.

Nothing like true love, eh!!! LOL

I saw the guy on MSNBC over the weekend. Apparently the top bidder backed out, so after all this the guy is stuck with the dress. I guess he got his 15 minutes of fame out of it. Apparently he has a band and was using the TV/radio time to promote his band... in his wedding dress.
