Ex-boyfriend Jewelry: One woman's trash is another woman's treasure?

ExBoyfriendJewelry.com is where the broken-hearted go to dump those sparkly yet painful reminders of love lost. Whether or not you're in the market for a new watch or pendant, it's worth a visit just for the stories that accompany each item (what's known as "the scoop" on the site). There's the expected funny-bitter stuff like, "The ring is beautiful, the man sucked!" but it's the surprisingly sad tales that really get you. One woman's boyfriend gave her a ring he charged to HER account while he was cheating on her with his own cousin ("true!"). Another's crack-addicted husband spent their 3-day-old baby's cash gift from the grandparents, so she split with the guy and is selling all his stuff just to make ends meet. One woman's story ends, "I ran away after he hit me again."

Man. It feels almost like a public service to buy some jewelry off the site just to help out your fellow woman. But certainly some users have figured that the sadder the story, the more likely the sale...? A bit cynical, we know. At least you get something shiny out of it that you can call my Precious. Just don't give it to your partner as a token of your affection. Like our intern Joanna said, that would surely carry bad relationship karma.

I think this is a brilliant idea! An online pawn shop for your bad memories. I think I might have to check it out. No more trashing his stuff, just sell it.
