eBay for the insane

March 16, 2011 | Words By: Staff Writer

We just came across this gem on eBay. Stoked by the alure of a new suit and determined to do something to help the tsunami victims, d_h_morgan - in his own special way - is helping to make a difference.


Here is a man who by his own admission is “sat at a computer all f*cking day, unless there’s waves.” Whittling away the countless hours in his working week, d_h_morgan has found that by being a “flash twat“, he can bring much needed money to last week’s Japanese victims. In addition to his pissless second hand suit, you will also receive a brand new one courtesy of XCEL.

eBay threatened to remove it - but it looks like they bailed out of common sense and the threat of a PR backlash. Even those trusty hardcore lovelies at Carve have chucked in an annual subscription. Full hoots and cries from the digital line up d_h_morgan.

Well worth a read - and indeed a bid - even if you aren’t sat in front a computer all day. Check it out on eBay.
