Man tries selling cheating wife on eBay

A father-of-two who suspected his wife was having an affair with another man exacted his revenge by trying to sell her on eBay.
Paul Osborn, from the UK, booted his wife Sharon from their home and listed her on the auction website.

His description of a "lying, cheating, adulterous slag of a wife" attracted worldwide attention with bids going as high as $1,000,000 the UK's Sun newspaper reports.

Mrs Osborn denied ever having an affair and police are now investigating claims of harassment.

The 44-year-old said he had his wife's extramarital affair confirmed when he read her emails.

"I started checking her emails and I realised the rumours were true - they had been discussing their sex life together and making plans for the future," Mr Osborn was quoted as saying.

"In a fit of rage I put the advert on eBay. I later took it off because I realised it wasn’t the right thing to do. "I was just so angry."

A police complaint was made against Mr Osborn by his wife and her friend, who both have said "nothing is going on".
