Listing almost anything on e-commerce websites has become a fad among people. Latest additions to items for sale are positive pregnancy tests.
American women have started listing their positive pregnancy tests on Craigslist and are charging around $25, The Daily Dot reports.
A number of women across the country have listed their positive pregnancy tests for sale on Craigslist. The trend began in May when a pregnant woman from Buffalo, New York, posted her pregnancy test results on demand. "I am selling positive pregnancy tests! Ever since I became pregnant, I have been asked numerous times for positive test, so I decided to start charging for it!"
The bizarre trend became popular and other expecting mothers, too, posted their positive pregnancy tests results. A pregnant woman from New Jersey wrote, "Wanna get your boyfriend to finally pop the question? Play a trick on mom, dad or one of your friends?" This has increasingly become a source of income for expectant mothers.
The sellers also wrote that they are not bothered why buyers want the tests. "I'm pregnant and will sell you my positive pregnancy test for $20,' one woman on Manhattan's Lower East Side writes. I don't care what you need them for."
Not only that, there are buyers for the positive pregnancy tests. A mother of two from Dallas sought a positive pregnancy test simply to take revenge on her ex who cheated on her and impregnated a receptionist. "We had been trying for another (baby). He texted and said he isn't sure who he wants to be with and I think I handled it well for what a cheating lying dog he is. I would like the last laugh out of this. I will give some girl $40."
Another woman from Los Angeles posted a request asking for the tests results to make "a video on teen pregnancy."
According to the Daily Mail, people list many other fertility items on Craigslist. Women sell frozen breast milk for $1 per ounce, baby items and even drugs at cheap rates. Fertility drugs such as Ganrilex, Menopur and Gonal-f used for IVF and egg freezing are listed nearly for $100 for several doses, whereas the market cost for a syringe could be around $120. However, experts warn that these drugs could be fake and harmful.
