Irish woman puts her husband up for sale on auction site

According to the advert, her husband John is a “decent breeding, 6’1, 37 years old and a beef farmer”.

They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned as this Irish woman certainly proved after she recently put her husband up for sale on an auction site when he left her at home with the kids during the summer holidays to go on a fishing trip.


The advert was eventually taken down for breaching the site’s terms and conditions but not before bidding had risen to €63.


According to Linda McAlister’s advert, her husband John is a “decent breeding, 6’1, 37 years old and a beef farmer”. He’s a “shootin’, and fishin’ sort of fellow” she added to warn prospective buyers of his fondness for a fishing trip.


McAlister noted that John had many previous owners but that he would remain loyal provided he’s fed and watered.


“Over hydration may lead to some unsavoury consequences… videos available on request,” Linda wrote.


It seems people were seriously considering the purchase, with one user enquiring for further information with Linda adding: “Extremely fond of lengthy pasture and or weather conversations; generally of a Friday evening, involving a sturdy focus on hydration.


“Also suffers from socks-on-the-floor-itus, which I have found to be contagious to younger models and unfortunately reoccurring.”


Apparently John was only aware of the sale after his friends alerted him to the ad. The pair reside in New Zealand.


According to Linda her husband was a good sport about the prank, telling Stuff he was “laughing at the whole thing.”

 “He was sure he would fetch a pretty penny… he is avidly watching the ad to prove said theory.”


When asked himself about the experience, John told the publication he had learned his lesson and advised other husbands to “watch themselves” before leaving their wife at home with the kids to embark on an impromptu fishing trip - wise words, John, wise words.
