Mom Auctions Off Family's Mess On eBay

Woman Tired Of Family Not Picking Up Things

UPDATED: 11:12 am EST December 22, 2005

An Ohio mother who was fed up with her family not picking up their things went to extremes to clean house, Cleveland television station WEWS reported.

Jessica Schickel created a box filled with all the items that were not put in their proper place and sold them on eBay.

The winning bidder got all the items and a videotape of the family's reaction when they found out their possessions were sold behind their backs.

Schickel said she just had a baby and was fed up with her other two children and her husband not picking up their belongings.

The box of prized possessions sold for over $300. But Schickel said her family still hasn't gotten the message.

"They didn't learn their lesson, so it's their own fault," said Schickel.

Schickel has started collecting items for a second box. All proceeds earned will be donated to charity.
