• Woman Sells Evidence of Her Husband's Affair on Ebay

  Oh, revenge can be such fun--particularly for uninvolved spectators. An Australian woman returned home to find a pair of panties and an opened condom wrapper in her bed—the bed she had shared with her husband for 22 years. Wasting no time in declaring her discovery to all and sundry, she snapped a photo of the offending items and put it up for sale on Ebay, along with a description that left little to the imagination.

• Father Puts Baby for Sale on Craigslist

  With all these babies for sale on the World Wide Web, what’s the point of going through nine months of back pain and swollen feet?  You can become a proud parent with just a few clicks of the mouse! Be forewarned, however, that the latest infant up for sale is a bit pricier than the tot offered for one-euro on Ebay recently. An “unexpected” but “very cute” and “very healthy” seven-day-old was listed for sale for $10,000 on Craiglist last week. Read More...

• Help me pick a Mother's Day gift (still)

  Thanks to everyone that weighed in here about what would make a good mother's day gift for the wife. Since I still haven't gotten anything, I thought I'd keep asking. Lots of options out there, of course, including this one that Redsy mentioned. Here are a couple of others: Read More...

• Sell Your Baby on eBay! I Mean, Your Baby's Stuff

  If you're anything like I was every time I had a baby, you bought too much. Call it the nesting instinct on steroids, or you forgot to factor in the stuff that people would give you, or you can't resist just one more ironic onesie, but at any rate there you are with a six-month old and a whole bunch of stuff that will only fit a newborn. What to do? Why, eBay, of course!  I did the eBay thing, both coming and going, when I could still get my daughter Serena into dresses (she's 7 now). So Hanna Anderssen and Oilily came and went from our house with regularity, but I have to admit that I found the whole sell-it-on-eBay thing rather, well, tedious. If only I had known these secrets. Plus! Who knew people will buy formula coupons! I must have thrown away a veritable goldmine. Don't you make the same mistake. If you have middle-of-the-night or naptime time on your hands, then you, too, can get rid of some extra stuff around your house and make a few bucks in the bargain. Here's a sampling of advice: Sell those formula coupons. Like I said, who knew? And you can buy them too. Little Metallica grown out of those miniscule Newborn-sized diapers already? But you bought 7 cases of them at Costco? Don't worry, you can unload these. Sell stuff as outfits or sets; you'll make more money that way. Don't forget a photo; you'll stand out a little more from the other bazillion people unloading their crap. Keep the box to everything so you can sell it later; you'll get more if it still has its box. So what if your basement is crammed full of boxes? Create a system and sell stuff for your friends; you'll look more professional and collect a commission on it. And about selling your actual baby...I am pretty sure that eBay frowns on that.

• Kids Sell Their Toys To Save Their Dad From Cancer

  I'm all verklempt here from reading this article. Here, you do it, I can't. Okay, I'm better now. Stay-at-home dad Dave Hall has cancer and was given six months to live. He needs $10,000 to get from where he lives in the U.K. to the U.S. for treatment for his three-inch brain tumor, so his three kids have put their teddy bears and Legos up on eBay to help raise the money for him.  Eight-year-old Callum is even selling his treasured Robodog, because although he loves his toy he loves his dad more. He says, "I love Robodog – but I really want to raise money for my dad and Cancer Research." The kids Daniella, Callum, and Lucia are thirteen, eight, and three.  Their parents must be extremely proud and grateful. I hope they manage to raise the money they need. Me, I'm still verklempt.

• Designer Graco Stroller To Benefit Pediatric AIDS Foundation

  Designer/mom Cynthia Rowley has teamed up with Graco to create The Graco Mosaic "Be Fruitful" Stroller.  The stroller has been signed by 17 celebrity mothers, and will be auctioned off on eBay starting February 1, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.  The Mosaic stroller was first created in October 2006, to raise funds for the EGPAF.  It retails for $299 and again, 100% of the net proceeds go to the EGPAF.  You can order one for yourself, or an expectant friend, here.  You can learn more about, and enter, eBay's "Be Fruitful" auction here.  My first - in long line - of strollers was a Graco, and I hated everything about it.  But perhaps the production and functionality of the brand has improved since 2004 (?) - the design certainly  has.  Do you have a Graco that you are happy with?  If so, will you bid on the "Be Fruitful" piece?  Are you unhappy with your Graco, but willing to buy The Mosaic model, to benefit such a worthy cause?  I'd love to hear your thoughts.  Posted Feb 03 2007, 05:48 PM by Alisyn with | with no comments Filed under: celebrity, ebay, Graco, celebrity moms, stroller, elizabeth glaser pediatric AIDS foundation, cynthia rowley

• Do Good: James Kim Family Benefit Auction Begins Today

  An auction of fine art + craft to benefit the family of James Kim organized by sisters Lisa Congdon and Stephanie Barnes and their mother Gerrie Congdon begins (finally!) today. I know that many of us throughout the blogosphere have been visiting the site often, drooling over the lovely items that the artists and crafters have so generously donated for this very worthy cause. One hundred percent of the auction proceeds will go to the The James Kim Memorial Fund. Auction items from the artists listed on the site will be available for bid starting today, January 3, on eBay. There will be a link to the eBay listing for each item from the auction site starting the morning of January 3. (Hopefully they're up as you read this.) Bidding ends January 7th. So go on and bid, and if you have your eye on this, I'm more than happy to battle it out with you.
