And selling for a $101 as well. Some people have the weirdest luck. ---

I want the story of the poor woman up in the attic who buried her bra in the floorboards. Must have been the governness. ---

I bet there was someone who was haunted by the bra: The husband whose girlfriend misplaced it in his house. ---

I bet there was a whole body up there, but it all rotted away except for the bra… 😃 ---

I love this note in the Payment Instructions: > [@](#): > > Yes, I charge a small handling fee for this thing. If you had to handle it, you’d charge a fee too. ---

Only at $66. Something is weird about seller too cause they keep adding to the description. Here is one comment: “Ok, somebody just emailed me and told me that if I washed it, it just won’t maintain the integrity of a gen-yoo-wine gross collectible, so tell ya what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna dust it off as best I can, but include the little bits of ceiling nernies for your personal display purposes.” ---

That’s not gross, that’s NASTY!!! People buy any-friggin-thing on eBay. Maybe I’ll bag up some of my dog’s trashvomit and sell it, baggie included. WTF… (shakes her head in digusted, bemused confusion). ---

Yes, whe she capitalized “Gross Thing That Fell Out Of My Ceiling” I was expecting her to add “damn, we _really_ need that pukey smiley!” ---

I can’t believe someone actually paid $66 for that nasty thing. I think if something that looked like that fell on me I’d be scarred for life. The descriptions were great though - if she isn’t a Doper, she’d fit in well here. ---

I’m gonna e-mail her and invite her to become a Doper.
