Don’t you just love a positive news story? It seems all that ever gets reported is the poor economy, crime, tragedy, pain and death… but we all know there are some great stories out there, right?

Here is one I came across today that I wanted to pass along…

Due to the expensive medical care two of their children need, Gregg and Brittiny Peters, a couple from Georgia put everything they own, except their house, on eBay.  Now this doesn’t appear to be some couple who has charged up their credit cards and made a bunch of other poor decisions to get themselves in a financial mess.   They are genuinely in need and have worked hard at keeping their modest home and caring for their children.

Well, the eBay auction was won by a couple from Texas, Donnia and Keith Blair… with a $20,000 bid.  But here is the kicker, the Blairs aren’t planning on picking up the goods.  They are paying the 20k but leaving the items at the Peters’ home.

The Peters are saying they don’t want the money… they aren’t looking for a hand-out.  They want to live up to their end of the bargain: an exchange of the belongings they posted for sale for the $20,000.

In response, the winning bidder Donnia Blair told the Associated Press, “She can just act like they’re my storage facility.”

Great story… read the rest here: Take the $20,000 & Keep your Stuff

Then stop back and leave your comments… peace.
