Prostitution, sales gimmick or an act of desperation from a woman desperate to sell her home and to find true love? Adding $500,000 to the cost of the home as a "shipping fee" to include herself, brings up a variety of questions.
Deven Trabosh is a single 42 year-old mother who has tried online dating sites and nightclubs but has not found the true love she is looking for.... she also has a four bedroom home for sale in Palm Beach Gardens Florida that she has been trying to sell.
After trying to sell her house for a year and being single for eight years, looking for love, Trabosh has decided to combine the efforts.
She had previously had her house listed at $340,000 at a website where you sell your own home, but she then added the listing to Ebay, tacking on an additional $500,000 which includes the "shipping fee" for herself.
Ebay removed Trabosh's listing because according to their site's prohibited services policy, relationships, human beings and/or body parts are not allowed to be sold on Ebay.
One of the examples listed at Ebay's prohibited services policy is, "Any service that offers, suggests, or in any way conveys an intimate service contact, including dates, escorts or other such services."
Trabosh listed herself and her home not only on Ebay but on Craigslist as well, titled, "MARRY A PRINCESS LOST IN AMERICA (West Palm Beach, Florida)".

Trabosh says she has not had any serious offers but she shows off Claudio, who is an Italian wine and cheese taster who responded to her ad and whom she has been corresponding with since she placed her ad.
They are hoping to meet in Miami in a few weeks.
This brings up memories of a recent article where a babysitter responded to a Craigslist ad and was later found dead in the trunk of her car.
One of the most heinous examples of meeting people, strangers really, online and then setting up meetings with them, was back in 2002 with the man known online as the "slavemaster". His real name was John E. Robinson and he was convicted in 2003 for the murder of several women.
Some of his victims ended up dead in sealed chemical drums.
These are but examples of how the fairytale princess ad from Trabosh, while seeming to be an attempt to find true love, and attempting to meet people, for whatever reason, after simply corresponding with them, can indeed turn a fairytale into a nightmare.
"I'm not selling myself. I'm selling love...to meet that true love," Trabosh says. "Of course, it's gonna take more chemistry and connection. It's not going to be instantaneous that I'm just going to be automatically for sale...it's a package deal for true love."
Many will wish Trabosh luck and hope that she will indeed find the fairytale she is looking for, others would caution her to be very careful of where she looks for that love, not only for her own safety, but that of her 14 year-old daughter.

Good luck finding, she should just hope she doesn't get a creep from all this. I read in another article one of her daughters said "She is embarassing me".

Embarrassment is little compared to the danger her mother could bring home from this. -

Well, first you need meaningful statistical data to prove that online relationships are more dangerous than the traditional ones. Providing only two examples is not sufficient.
I personally think, she is an adult woman who has every right to decide how to live. If she wants to sell herself, it's her right.

Sure thing and if she ends up in a trunk, or a barrel, or as was the case with the slavemaster, the children as well were harmed....so be it right?
Yes people have the right to choose what they want and how they want to get it, but parents have a responsibility to not put their children in danger and meeting strangers, as is evidenced with just two of the many examples out there is not exactly what I would call being responsible.
Statistical data...?
Death is pretty conclusive proof that there are crazy people out there and one should always use the most extreme caution when dealing with strangers...sorry, but offering yourself as part of a package deal for your house, seems like prostitution to me and since a 14 year old child is a package deal with parents, isn't that sort of like offering a relationship ( non sexual even) with the kid as well?
God I love devil's advocacy. HEH -

We are not in charge of protecting people from their own decisions. Every person has an individual responsibility to protect herself or her underage children.

If somebody gets shot while walking on the street, can we conclude that walking on the street is a dangerous behaviour?

I personally have no problem with voluntary prostitution.

It's hard to say. I'm not sure what you mean by "non sexual relationship" with a child. However, I agree that this issue brings greater responsibility to the Mom. -
She definately sounds desparate. I have a suggestion for her. Move to Ohio, there are plenty of men who would be salivating over her. lol

I used the non sexual relationship term because in no way did I want to even seem to suggest she was offering her child in a sexual manner...that isn't even something I think and I didn't want it misunderstood. But if a man and this woman would get together in a permanent way, that would automatically mean that the child would have some sort of relationship with the man, good bad or indifferent.
I simply used that term because I didn't want anyone thinking that I was suggesting the mother would ever offer her child in a sexual manner. -

She looks like a beautiful women and I would offer the guess that perhaps she is just looking in the wrong places. She seems nice, her ad suggests that she is a romantic and she is good looking.
I simply worries with the horror stories out there, two of which I showed but many more are reported...about her safety and that of her child.
I feel for women that cannot find the love they so desperately want but would caution them to be very careful where they look for that love. -

Exactly how I think and feel about this. I have seen and read those horror stories and can tell you that my brother's marriage was broken up over a online romance...so even there we don't know who...or what...could be lurking, waiting for that opportune moment. I won't even hang out in chat rooms or match making services. Wish her luck though. -

I am sure there are many that meet online, take the proper precautions when meeting offline and things work out, but, this kind of publicity is bound to bring out the crazies who now know her name, what town she lives in and that she has a 14 year old daughter.
To me, that is asking for trouble. -

I agree. Let's hope that she IS very careful. -

That is my problem. She listed it with Ebay and craigslist and god knows where else, now people know she has a14 yr old and she gave a paper interview...to me, that is already showing that she is not being careful enough. -

True. It's hard to believe the lengths some people go...... -

She may look good on the outside...doesn't mean she has all her marbles...or as they say, "playing with a full deck of cards." -

Not knowing her I cannot say, but her actions, words and advertisements seem to support that. -
A convenient relationship is based on money and possessions, a covenant relationship is based on love regardless of possessions.
Yes you/she is/are very beautiful, but ....my offer is nothing.....love is not a negotiable item...if it is ...you do not have it. You have a co-dependent relationship. I have been is a few of these and they do not last.
If you/she can resolve this problem, I am available as noted above.

Then the comments were not read, but that is amusing after my criticism of her actions. -

I had to reread his comment a few times to try and see if I could figure out what he was inferring...and that's the only thing that I can figure. -
