"Marry a Princess Lost in America," read the ad on eBay and Craigslist. Posted by a 42-year-old single mom tired of conventional dating methods, Deven Trabosh instead advertised her home and marital status simultaneously. According to SFGate, Trabosh posted the advertisement because she was struggling with her house, and wanted to meet someone special. The house was listed at $340,000 online, but a $500,000 shipping fee was added to include her companionship. Trabosh's ad was quickly removed from eBay, which does not allow the sale of human beings, body parts or relationships. Trabosh insists "I'm not selling myself. I'm selling love...to meet that true love." As of yet, she has not received any serious offers.
