It’s hard to say whether one man’s eBay page indicates he’s bitter about his divorce or has taken the division of property too literally.
A German man used saws to divide possessions shared with his estrange wife, giving her half and selling his half on eBay.
Everything, from an iPhone and MacBook Pro to dining room chairs, the mailbox, a teddy bear and their car, was subject to his interpretation of splitting things 50-50.

So far, the Apple products have received the highest number of bids. The half iPhone 5 has seven bids with the price up to 6 Euros. The MacBook Pro has six bids at 8.27 Euros. There are three bids on the half car at 2.50, one bid on the half bicycle at 1 and one bid on the a vinyl album, REM’s Automatic for the People, at 1.

The story, appearing on Reddit, attracted a still-growing stream of comments.
One person wrote, “I’m so glad me and my ex weren’t assholes to each other during our divorce.” Another wrote, “said she wants half of everything. Be careful what you ask for.”
We are unclear if this is some sort of stunt or if the seller is seriously going through Splitzville.
Either way, the YouTube video posted with the items is both fun and painful to watch.
