Romanian man puts wife up for sale

Monday, November 3, 2008

An Eastern European man has put his 25-year-old missus up for sale on a website specialising in used cars.

Alex Cretu hoped to get around $9.6 million, but has slashed his asking price to $7222 for a quick sale.

The 20-year-old bloke got fed up of his wife nagging him all the time and uploaded the ad on www.okazii.ro as a joke.

The classified reads, "Wife for sale. Model 1983, good condition. Full option, nice suspensions, spacious boot, second owner. Price is negotiable, comes with three-year-old and five-year-old accessories. Seriousness demanded."

Alex said he waited until his wife left for a job in Spain so she wouldn't know about the sale, as reported on Ananova.com

Cretu has already received a number of offers, but buyers either didn’t offer enough money or wanted to buy her in instalments.
