Sad if it's for real, maybe sadder if it isn't.

Wow! Poor guy.

My husband should have bought him a band instead of me. Probably would have been a better return on his investment! :thumbup:

[Allison 2]

OH wow I really wish I didn't click on that, I'm gonna be sad all day now. Thats awful. :thumbup:

I just don't even know how to respond to this or what to think. :thumbup:

[plain 12]

Ummmm....can't put a price on dignity.

More power to him for trying to come up with an innovative way to pay for his surgery.

[*susan* 1,709]

Well, I sure hope if someone "buys" him they researched the cost of the surgery first!

That is really sad. :thumbup:

Except......there's not a big difference between what he's doing and prostitution. Note the wording of the ad. He doesn't say he'll be a handyman, or a laborer. The word "slave" has connotations of being an object, of being property, of having to mindlessly obey without having a say.

Just makes me wonder what this dude wouldn't do for a lapband. Kinda creeps me out...

[babygrl1234 6]

I am sure it will get pulled.

[losingjusme 12]

eww, nope - not pulled. still up there.

Wow, he must be desperate! In a way it's really creepy, but it's also really sad that someone would resort to being a "slave" for WLS. Makes me wonder what kind of mental state he is in

Shoot I'd be tempted to donate a buck but if you look this is a first time e-bayer. I would be willing to bet there is a greater chance that this is some sort of cruel joke someone is playing on him or even "us".
