The Ex Outlet (Selling Your Ex's Stuff)

The concept of a web site to sell stuff associated with you ex seems obvious.  It's not clear that it is a viable business.  The stories of longing, betrayal, and remorse are nothing special, but might serve as object lessons for teens.

I was curious to see if the aggrieved parties were disposing of music, but music was not even a category.  Maybe the site's sample is too small, but I would expect that music plays as big a part in young people's lives as it did in mine.

I remember a women at a party looking through the host's record collection (it was many years ago) when she pulled one album from the shelf.  She stared at it for a couple of seconds, shook her head, before replacing it.  "I can't believe I slept with that guy." she said.  No one asked.

Maybe the exes took their music with them.  If the relationship was in the post physical media era there was nothing to leave behind except perhaps a docking station.
