Hock Shop for Tokens of Love Lost

You don’t need to be reminded that we live in tough, tough economic times. And you probably don’t want to recall that ex-boyfriend of yours. But reconsider, especially if he left a trail of gifts behind. You no longer wear or want that wedding ring/iPod/Coach bag in the back of your closet but you’ve yet to cast it away for good. Enter the eBay for break-up purging: Ex-Boyfriend Jewelry, the site that allows you to flog now-unwanted tokens of love for comforting, cold hard cash. All you have to do is post an image of the item (which can include ‘Gifts that should have been jewelry’), provide the back story (we like the one from the girl who’s selling a dress for a date that never happened with a former beau who used her money to buy weed) and a short description of the item. Ex-Boyfriend Jewelry is useful for profitably getting rid of old baggage but it’s also handy for picking up some bargains. Perhaps the Tiffany’s sterling silver money clip ($50) to stash all dollars you’ve made from your heartbreak?
