A hopeless romantic wants to buy his
girlfriend the engagement ring of her
dreams, but alas, he doesnt have the
means to make it happen. Many men will
sell some of our possessions to raise the
extra cash. Weve seen guys trade in cars,
guitars and collectibles, but this resourceful
one in the Ukraine decided to sell his kidney
on the black market. Our Ukrainian friend
made out with 12,300 GBP (about $21,000
USD), which according to Blue Nile would
return about a two-carat, ideal-cut
diamond.
The kicker: She dumped him. No word as
to whether he kept the receipt to get the
kidney back.
Apparently the concept of make sure she’ll
say yes before getting the ring and
proposing isnt a widely known one, as
Cowboys Receiver Roy Williams faced a
similar issue (minus the kidney sale) when
he presented his girlfriend with a $75,000
engagement ring.
Investigations revealed that kidneys are at
times sold for as much as $25,000.
Though most sellers agree that greed and
the zeal to pay off their debts are the main
motivating factors, they also claim the
move could help save lives of those in
need of the organs.
