As a payback, she put her 37-year-old husband for sale with a funny, informative and realistic description. She described him as 'used', '6'1', 'Rising 37' of 'Decent Breeding'. The description becomes funnier with every line.

Some of the properties that she listed in the description include "Should remain loyal if kept fed and hydrated regularly", "Still needs some house training, I have neither the time nor the patience at the moment" and "Well handled, a number of previous owners. Hard to catch but self loads and travels well. A lot less noise if he travels as the driver".

As soon as the woman put her husband for auction, even the users on the site joined in on the fun. She started receiving reactions and questions. Someone asked her if he was fat, what was he fed, does he comes with a collar and when were his teeth cleaned. One of them even asked her to swap for an older one, better house trained and not very good at hunting.

Jack, now a product on Trade Me for sale, got 12 bidders who were ready to 'buy' him and bidding soon rose to $100. Luckily, Jack was saved from being sold off as the website deleted the auction ad due to policy disagreement. Even the website's team was shocked to see this as James Ryan, company's policy and compliance manager, issued his statement saying "It was the first time in recent memory they had seen someone list their spouse for sale".
