Did you actually read the item discription?

I can't find any humour in the fact some poor woman is so skint she has had to resort to putting a home cooked meal on ebay to raise some cash to help her pay with this mopnths bills.
I feel rather sad for her actually.

Yeah good luck with getting someone to fork out $300+ for a home-cooked meal by someone you don't know.

No offence but everyone has problems and I think there are better ways of trying to raise money, like on justgiving etc.
A single home cooked meal is not worth THAT much money, even if Gordon Ramsey cooked it.

Going on eBay and asking for 300 bucks because you are short on cash seems rather crazy. Perhaps she should first stop buying stuff on eBay to save money (see her feedback).

a 300 dollar meatloaf to cook any where in nashville is very far fetched if you ask me. I read it as someone who made a joke listing. I didnt take the discription seriously.

But if it indeed is a real listing, its VERY far fetched.....

I mean she seems to buy a lot of stuff if you look at her feedback.....

These eBay listings are crazy at times indeed. When I worked at IBM we were given some kind of puny chocolate bar as a thank you for something which I can't exactly remember.
Someone from another support group put a listing on eBay advertising it (obviously taking the mickey). The managers figured out who it was and fired him!
