This mystery box will contain some of my most personal prized possessions. These possessions are by all means, not expensive or did they cost a lot of money. They are items that are most dear to me...items that others may take for granted. I am offering this solely because I am in dire straits with the horrible economy that my children & I have fallen victim to. My original goal in mid-November was to make $2,000 to pay our rent so that we wouldn't get evicted. Well, we made some money and had to pay our debts, especially so that I could keep the internet and continue selling on eBay. I now have two days left before my landlord will be knocking on the door to hand me our eviction notice. This is the lowest of low. I have never been in this position, EVER. I have always been the 'cash cow' and provided for my family as a single mommy with no problems...sometimes hitting bumps here and there. I have been taken by three people this year for money which includes my mother. She owes me for the work that I did for her business back in September, in which she never paid me. I put aside and hardly worked on eBay with the understanding that she would pay me. Needless to say, I wouldn't be in the position that I am in right now had she paid me or let me know ahead of time so that I could make up for it along the way busting my butt on eBay. I know there are literally millions of people that are in the same financial position that I am in. I have been looking for a job for over a year with no luck. I am an Executive Administrative Assistant with over 10 years of experience and I am damned good at it too! I would even settle for a job as a receptionist too however, the unemployment rate in Arizona has skyrocketed and now I am having a tougher time with getting a job. This is why I have been selling full force this past year on eBay just to make ends meet. Now, the mystery box that I am offering DOES NOT contain anything illegal. Like I stated before, they are items that I find dear to my heart. This is my only chance (besides the lottery) to make a good amount of money to pay my rent. If you don't think that I am going to pay my rent with it, I will even provide you my landlord’s company name and address to pay them if you would like. You ask, "why would I want items that are dear to her heart"? I answer, "because you would be saving us from being homeless, these items would be given to you to show you my appreciation for helping my family". Please know that I am an honest person. This is not a scam. This is reality. Neighbor's helping each other. My children and I will FOREVER be grateful to you and yours. Whether you bid or not, please know that I am thankful that you at least were interested enough to read my story. Have a Safe & Happy Holiday Season.DON'T WANNA WAIT?: If you don't want to wait for the auction to end and there is NOT a Buy it Now option, just email me your offer BEFORE the auction has 12 hours left and there are NO bids on the item.
