Considering that these days over 50% of US marriages end in divorce, it’s not surprising that a site like MyDivorceSales would crop up. Created with recent divorcees in mind, MyDivorceSales allows you to list items for sale that are left over after a break-up; cars, furniture, pets, etc. Like craigslist, you can create a listing for your item and provide a description and picture. Buyers can search the site for items using a keyword or category search, or they can check out recent and featured listings. When a buyer finds an item they’d like to purchase, it is up to him and the seller to agree on a price. Because MyDivorceSales doesn’t host financial transactions, the buyer and the seller must also agree on delivery details, exchange contact info, and discuss when and how the item will be paid for. To use MyDivorceSales, you’ll need to sign up for an account first.
“Use MyDivorceSales to sell & buy new and used items. Shop for homes, cars, boats, clothing, jewelry, electronics and everything else imaginable. Free local classifieds ads”
The concept behind MyDivorceSales would probably appeal to any divorcee, so the site’s gimmick could be an asset. The personal story provided by the site’s creator adds an element of empathy to the site and could serve to attract potential users.
It’s not clear if there is a charge for posting items on MyDivorceSales; is there a fee per listing? Can users pay by the month or subscribe for an entire year? The fact that MyDivorceSales is not held accountable for any failed transaction nor does it allow users to pay online like eBay might dissuade some users.
