Simon O'Kane put his wife Leandra up for sale on eBay with a detailed list of pros and cons of the potential investment.

The couple, who is from Wakefield, Yorkshire, have a history of pranking one another. On this occasion, Simon's prank was inspired when his wife was unsympathetic after he complained about feeling unwell.

Bids reached a whopping £65,880 within two days before the auction was inevitably pulled from eBay.

Redditor michaelsiemsen found the perfect way to hold onto all of the useless stuff in his garage his wife wouldn't let him throw away.

"For the past two years, anything sitting in our garage that the wife says we can't get rid of, I've hung as "art" in our otherwise useless front room" -- michaelsiemsen
