The Mystery of the Unnamed Item

Ok, so a bunch of you have asked me about the mystery item in the last couple of posts. You noticed I've been pretty descriptive of my other items but haven't given away what this one is.... and there is a reason for that.

You see, the mystery item was a gift. It was a lovely, expensive gift from someone I care about very much. I got some great use out of it, but due to a change in circumstances I no longer need it. I'm afraid that if I say what it is, the person who gave it to me (did I mention I love this person very much?) will be offended that I let go what was originally a $250+ item for $29.99 on eBay.

Let me be clear that I LOVED this gift while I was using it. I just don't need it anymore. And I don't like to hang on to things I don't need anymore.

I sell gifts regularly on eBay. And I'm regularly paranoid that the people who gave them to me will find out I've listed them on eBay for $.99 and free shipping (which, as you now know, is just the way I roll) and think I think they're only worth $.99.

What do you think? Am I being paranoid? If you were the person I love very dearly who gave me that gift, would you be offended if I sold it on ebay (for $29.99)?
