Tori Spelling's Life for Sale
by acdickson
Thankfully, AC reads news magazines like In Touch or we'd all be in the dark about the latest tell-all sell-all saga. For those of you with better things to do than follow the lives of the formerly rich and famous, let me get you up to speed. Beverly Hills 90210 stalwart Tori Spelling was recently willed a mere $800,000 of her late father's $500 million estate. Appears her mom is holding onto the rest.
Coincidentally or not (she claims not) Tori is putting sellers like AC to shame. She's selling off her entire wardrobe through an eBay user who goes by the tag syes.
AC did his research and it looks like well over a hundred dresses, purses and other assorted finery from the usual suspects (Prada, Gucci, Marc Jacobs, etc) have already sold. Still, over 50 pieces are currently for sale, like this pink Yves St. Laurent gown which is currently clocking in at close to 3 bills with as many days to go. And something tells me that Tori's lifetime supply of please wear our brand to the award show/charity dinner/polo match loot is far from exhausted.
AC has to admit, he's a little jealous of Miss Syes, otherwise known as Sharon Yost, professional estate sale executor. When AC moved to Los Angeles, he figured being an eBay PowerSeller was his ticket to entree into a celebrity posse: "I'd like you meet my bodyguard, my personal trainer, my astrologist, and my personal eBay PowerSeller, AC. Any and all autograph requests go through him."
Alas, it hasn't happened. But I can live vicariously through Sharon. Appears she recently sold off pieces from the estate of the late great mid-century female magician Aree, Queen of Hearts, and now Tori Spelling; who could be next? I wait with bated breath.
In other news, I'd recommend checking out my friend Mr. Outrageous eBay Auction's new blog that tracks the very best of eBay pulse aka the hottest auctions around.
My current favorite is this young lady who's offered to hold her breath for a length of time in relation to the eventual high bid. I suppose the doing it in a short pink skirt part is the draw if you go in for that sort of thing. What's nice is that this blog has the most watched auctions not just overall, but within categories. Scroll down to see the most-watched cars or pieces of sports memorabilia. Some serious money is changing hands.
Bookmark it, kids.

Don't bother to bid on Tori Spelling's Ebay auctions. If the winning bid is too low (no reserve) although legally binding on both parties she will refund your money and say oh so sorry - the winning bid didn't go high enough - the item was supposed to be a reserve auction- our mistake. You won't get what you won and paid for - just a refund! BOO HISS!

Tori's Estate Sales Agent has contacted me to make things right. Hope so.
