A Belarusian woman sells her brother's things at a flea market while he's in the army. To save up for a lawyer and disinherit her brother
A very interesting offer appeared on a free classifieds website. The item itself is nothing special: a sweater is just a sweater. But the reason for the sale is described very unusually, writes Blizko.by.
Katsiaryna from Novopolotsk, hiding under the pseudonym Flow, is selling a men's sweater for 15 rubles and accompanies it with the following description:
«Men's sweater. My brother was drafted into the army, so I'm selling his things before he returns. Warm, comfortable, he liked it, so I'm selling it cheaper than it's worth. I would give it away for free, but I'm saving up for a lawyer so he doesn't inherit anything and is left with nothing (literally "bare ass")».
This same girl has several other listings, and all of them are described vividly, with a spark and genuine life experience.
Here's a jacket: «My height is 165 cm, size forty-second (42). But it supposedly looks good on me, so I think it will fit. But the tag says size 44, although it looks more like an oversized fit. Probably woolen, but I skipped home economics lessons, so I'm not sure. It didn't fall apart after washing».
And here's a music speaker: «I haven't used the speaker at all. I only took it out of the box to photograph it. It sounds great, I just don't need it, but I need the money».
