Dumped guy auctions ex-girlfriend's romantic holiday place on eBay
A JILTED BOYFRIEND found a creative way to get back at the girlfriend who dumped him just weeks before a romantic trip away.
Jake Dodridge from Berkshire had booked a holiday for himself and his girlfriend in Venice, but she decided to end the relationship before they went away.
Unable to get a refund, the 21-year-old decided to advertise his girlfriend’s place on the trip on eBay – with bids starting at just 99p.

The listing read:
He told the Daily Mail that he didn’t see the point of “wasting a good holiday” and that the trip would be a “great first date” with the winning woman.
The listing went super viral in the UK – a screengrab from Jake’s Facebook page shows bids had reached £99,100 before the ad was removed by eBay.

It’s not known if he actually found a gal to go on holidays with in the end, but we admire his pluck.
