When you have a barney with your other half, you might expect a bit of sulking, stomping off to the pub or stealing the last slice of cake. But what you likely wouldnt expect is to find yourself listed on eBay.
But thats exactly what happened to Leandra, 27. After an argument with her husband, Simon OKane, 33, the father-of-two decided to sell his Used Wife on the bidding site.
I came in after work feeling a bit tired and unwell my wife was doing the usual concerned bit but said I was burning the candle at both ends and was basically just whining at me, Simon told Daily Mail.
I thought: 'Right, Im going to put you up for sale.
Simon posted the listing using the title Used Wife, alongside a picture of Leandra and a tongue-in-cheek description.

But it seems Simon did a good job of selling his wife in the description as she managed to tot up 57 bids, with the highest bidder offering a whopping £65,888.
But despite the high bidding, Leandra wasnt exactly thrilled to find her husband had listed her on the site.
I was absolutely fuming I wanted to kill him, she told Daily Mail.
Everyone at work saw it and were laughing their heads off. Not only did he put me up for sale but he used such a bad photo.
Thankfully it wasnt long before eBay removed the post and hopefully saved the pairs marriage in the process!
