What is up with people giveing reasons on why they are selling things (most noteable on ebay)? Does the average bidder really care why it is on ebay? I really don't need a background into an item unless it has some bearing on the origin or authintisity of an item, like an autograph, or a rare system that was given as a contest prize.

We have all come across reasons like "I have decided to stop collecting" or "My mom/wife/girlfrined is making my sell". But what are some of the more outlandish, stupid, or just plain funny reasons you have read? Post 'em here!
