Family Auctions $103,000 in Debt on Ebay

This is one way to handle the housing/food/gas crunch non-recession of 2008. One woman is attempting to auction off the entirety of her family's debt = $103K or so.

She even itemizes it for you... 

Please note that you don't hear this poor family (as in sympathy not poverty) arguing their debt is due to $4 gas.

Meanwhile, this seems like a very commonsensical (if a little last ditch) method of dealing with debt. 

Plus, you can keep her car and her house if you like (though that's optional), though apparently not her kids (who look quite cute, especially compared to the husband).

Compared to my family's debt, this seems small fry, baby.

Rising gas prices have heavy impact on poor

Families living on fixed, modest incomes usually the first to cut back

Gas prices hit the poor harder

Well-off motorists just keep driving

But as long as those SUV drivers suffer, that's the important thing.
