my darling brother... pt 2
(my impressive news readers voice)
this just in... E-bay has struck again!!!
the latest victim is 25 (26??) year old Joseph xxxxxxxx, known affectionately to his sister as Joby, was recently diagnosed as an e-bay addict.
"i don't know how it happened" his sister tearfully told us in an exclusive interview. "i can only blame myself really... i bought this mp3 player on e-bay before i went overseas. he thought it was really cool so i hooked him up with his own account. i never thought it would come to this though"
It has been reported that Joseph receives an astonishing 2-3 packages per week. some may wonder why this bothers his sister Natalie so much, after all it is his own money.
"well the thing is he lives in a little apartment with a tiny mailbox. so he gets his packages sent to our place. he calls me 2-3 times a day to check the mail to see if it has arrived yet. and we have a long driveway up a hill so its annoying for me... he doesn't even ring to say hello anymore its always about the packages".
Not a big ask some would think. but as Natalie explains thats not all he asks her to do.
"sometimes, if he isn't at home to do it himself, he rings me to sit at my computer and bid for him when the auction is about to close. i never wanted to get involved" we had to take a short break as natalie broke down at this point, but after collecting herself she added in a small voice "and sometimes i have to drive the stuff over to him".
it has gone so far that the last known item to be purchased by joby was in fact, camouflage printed beer holders. when Natalie was informed of this she cried "who does that??"
hmm.. good question. a sad story about a brave young girl. you can find out more about e-bay at www.ebay.com.au but as this story proves, you might not get out unscathed.
thats all for rock-the-kazbar news this evening... goodnight.
