<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 112648, member: 2761&quot;]I got divorced in 1998 and after going through what &quot;stuff&quot; I was left with, I found my ex-wife&#039;s freakin&#039; Precious Moments collection. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.business.strose.edu/482sprY2K/Julie/pmb.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She thought it was lost in the move. Lucky this stuff was in storage while she was &quot;raking me over the coals.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>THANK YOU SIR, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?!?&nbsp; Gotta love those divorce attornies.&nbsp; At least she never got her hands on my coin collection as 95% of the collection was in my hands BEFORE I got married.&nbsp; So I stored them at my folk&#039;s house while my life was getting divided.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Smiling and smerking...I said to myself, &quot;Screw it!...I&#039;ll list these on eBay and will apply the proceeds to replacing the tools she got. [Why she got the tools is beyond me, but I did get these stupid ceramic dolls].</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I listed them as <b>&quot;Divorced Man Selling Ex-Wife&#039;s Precious Moment Collection&quot;.</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I stated the story again (long version) and posted pictures of these things next to a ruler and described all of the notations on the bottom as best I could.&nbsp; I REALLY had no idea what these were worth, nor did I care.&nbsp; I just wanted to sell them and listed all of them starting at 99 cents.&nbsp; They were all in mint condition as my ex kept them in the original boxes while they were in storage.&nbsp; I should have thanked her for that!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Man...was I surprised what these things sold for!&nbsp; I had one lady buyer that told me she didn&#039;t know if she bought one of the precious monents for the item itself, or my story in the listing.&nbsp; At least it brought some happiness to another collector.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Still, the money I made from selling those things was some <i>small</i> justice in a nasty divorce war.&nbsp; After that, I always felt they should make it as difficult to get married as they do to get divorced.&nbsp; What a nightmare to say the least![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
