This is what happens when you cheat...

[MikeKAY]

... Your wife finds out, and she sells your Lotus Esprit Turbo on eBay for half a pound. :lol:

Linkey. (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2192&item=4556985749&rd=1)

[sheld0n]

Wait a sec, did i get the price right?
£0.50?!

Talk about an occasion.

[Kinetix]

Did anyone bid? Charon? Xan?

[Poison]

I love the buyer's comment:
"thank you hayley the car is excellent thank your hubby for me"
:lmao:

I wish she had taped her husband coming home. :lol:

[Larke]

that's just awesome. awesome!

[Stalking Shadow]

Pwned!

It's all fun and games until legal action starts... putting the item up on eBay seems awfully dumb to me, the divorce lawyer will probably love having such a credible piece of evidence.

Almost as dumb as the person who sold crack cocaine on ebay.

I have to disagree. The owner of the vehicle putting it up on ebay was an excellent legal move, in that there is now official documentation of the transaction and the most that the husband can now get is half the selling price.

Yup, you can't get half of what's gone.

(It's both of their property, so she has every right to sell it. Thus, he'd better get some divorce papers filed now, before she gets to any other stuff.)

:lmao:

[Larke]

considering she was the registered owner, if england is a community property country like some states in the US, the only thing he can do really is get half the selling price. If its not, could be that whatever is in her name is hers, whatever is in his name is his, if he paid for the car then maybe he has proof that he should get some claim to it, otherwise its totally her car and basically she screwed herself over. All depends on the marriage laws over there. I know my ex-fiance didn't want to get married in a certain state cause then he'd be screwed if i wanted to divorce him cause I could take half his stuff without real claim to it, not to mention he'd owe me half his salary for the year and whole bunch of other stuff.

I think it was freaking awesome cause she was able to hit him where it really hurt.

That would make him double pwned to get a quater of a pound for his Lotus.

Yes, assuming he'd be idiotic enough to fight for it in court :)

[Apollinaris]

Ah, I didn't notice she was the registered owner of the vehicle. Still I don't think an action like this is something that should really be praised. We don't know the whole situation of it, but if tomorrow's headline in that town is, "Women's body is dedged out of loch, husband taken into custody." It's not going to be all that funny anymore.

Also, it really depends on the judge in the case, Larke. If it's communal property they could argue that they're entitled to half the actual value of the vehicle due to the fact that one half of the ownership of the vehicle was not consulted on it's sale and given the vindictive nature of the act. For example if two people lived in a house and both were the owners of it, and I sold the house for a dollar while the other owner of the house was on vacation, the manner in which it's done is going to be taken into account, and you can bet the lawyers will eat it up.

Personally though, I just don't think this is a correct or proper response to this kind of action in the same manner that it'd be wrong if she shot him. Obviously this case will be very messy and no one is going to come out of it alright.

[Larke]

it's fine action because its material property, it shouldn't matter much but it does, not like a lotus is any kind of commuter car or anything. And also as far as a house, if both were actually owner's of the house, one couldn't sell it without the other's signature. a car on the other hand is a different matter of ownership. One person can be on the loan to pay for the car and a different person can be on the title of the car, such was the deal with my car. Which is just weird, but it can work that way.

Nevertheless, he got seriously pwned. :chuckle:
