Man puts his 'unlucky in love' sister on eBay

Utterly insulting, or a touching gesture? Matchmaker (and entrepreneur) Kyle Maalen has put his single sister up on auction site eBay in an attempt to find her a boyfriend.

The starting bid for a date with his younger sister Sammy was set at £0.99. (That's around R17). 

Here's how the eBay ad for 27-year-old Sammy (who has apparently been unlucky finding a 'real man' to love) read:

Date my sister men wanted, 27

(No weirdos may apply) 

"Firstly this is a serious advert. My sister is 27-years-old originally from London but now lives in Cardiff and is slim and curvy, 5 ft 4 blue eyes dark hair. Very bubbly and outgoing. She not a party animal and very faithful. No kids but would like kids eventually. My sister is unlucky with finding a real man. So me and my family are looking for someone who is a great guy who is genuine. Loving. Faithfull. Normal. And just very down to earth. Also musts are Must have a job. No bums please. Must have a car or be willing to commute if your far away. Must be decent looking."

The ad also offered 'fast and free delivery'. 

Here's what the ad looks like: 

Sammy was reportedly furious when she saw what her big brother Kyle had done to get her a date - but she says she will probably go through with it when the eBay bidding closes. 

I love the thought of this, but the price is a bit of a slap in the face, right? 

Also, had he done it on a dating site that's one thing - but on eBay?!

Thanks for nothing, what a chop!
