...with Adam Croot. He's the jilted geezer that's auctioning his spare place on a Jamaican holiday. No info on whether it's a double or twin room so our money's on eBay removing this listing due to potential hanky panky. Click here to see the original auction.

Item description:

Welcome to my holiday auction page with a difference.

Well, we've all been there I'm sure, booked a nice holiday with your partner, paid 50% of the costs and then found yourself dumped!....bummer

Any sensible person would just cancel the holiday and get a refund, unfortunately the Virgin flights are fully paid for and non refundable, the 15% hotel deposit is paid and that is also non refundable, maybe I'm just a tight wad, or maybe I just hate seeing anything go waste, but I want to go to Jamaica.

So, what we have here is a once in a lifetime opportunity to grab a hugely discounted luxury holiday in Couples Swept away resort, negril in Jamaica

These links will show you the resort details and trip advisor reports:

Total cost of the holiday was £2,400 (£1,200 each) balance to pay is only £642 each. So effectively for a reasonable amount someone can grab an £1,200 holiday at just about half price, the only catch is you have to come with me....As many of my friends would say, "that is just too high a price to pay" but what the hell, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I do have to have a few rules, after all, I'd hate to spend time on holiday with ************************************ use your imagination, Ebay rules don't allow me to say what I really mean!!!

So

1) Hotel resort is for heterosexual couples only, so Graham Norton need not apply

2) Not sure I fancy taking someone who has a jealous husband, I like my arams and legs where they are

3) Don't really fancy going with my Granny ;-)

4) Apart from that it's open season

Resort is really all inclusive, Diving, watersports (behave!!!) food and drink all included without extra cost, so if you are a certified diver, even better!!!

Finally, apparently I'm a spitting image of "Brad Pitt" ;-) so what are you waiting for?????

Get Bidding

PS, someone suggested it my be worth saying pre-approved bidders only, after all I do have some standards!!!!

PPS. Suppose I had better reserve the right to end the auction early if anything strange happens, after all I could get abducted by aliens and not be able to go myself, at least that way I could claim on the travel insurance!!

some dude posing with that view behind him, and kitted out for skiing - my bet is this guy never actually got dumped at all but is just a rich posh dude who's been having a few problems getting laid.

eliminating old ladies and homosexuals (as his auction does) - it's blantantly obvious that it's not the AUCTION he wants to be pulled...

Kinda wonder what happened for him to be dumped if he's such a "catch"??? Sounds like it could be some kind of scam...There is already a reality ebook being sold about this "dude"

Hi Adam,

I am not interested in the holiday, I would be interested to meet you, you sound a nice person.

Hi Cdp105

Someone pointed me in the direction of this site, I didn't even know it existed.

So I thought i would say hi, not sure how this thing works and don't want to broadcast my email address to the whole world, I've had enough spam over the last few days! So how do we communicate?

Adam

PS happy new year

Hi Adam
Maybe you should just try listing the same thing again with JUST the HOLIDAY on offer

sorry to hear that! It sounded really nice! Did you try craigslist? I am sure you will have some freaks but there may be someone willing to go. I would take a chance and go IF I could! : )
I wish you luck and hope someone bites.
But if you are ever in the US in lovely Southern California I will give a free tour.
Oh you will have to let us know if you do go!!
