Today, my husband received the "antique" samurai sword that he bought on Craigslist with $399.99 of our money. He only shared my outrage at the waste of money when he opened the package, only to find a toy sword along with a note saying, "HAHA, TROLLED." FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband brought home a machete. In the process of showing me a trick he learned, he managed to slice a nice big hole in our brand new very expensive sectional. FML
Today, for my birthday, my boyfriend bought me a sword from a TV show called Game of Thrones. He seemed disappointed at my reaction, since he spent so much money on the limited edition version. I've never watched the show, and I also have never had any interest in swords, so I don't know what he was thinking. FML
Today, my dad bought a one hundred dollar collectible light-saber. He plays with it. In the front yard. With sound effects. FML
Today, it was my dad's retirement. He is traditional Japanese, so I had custom-ordered a samurai sword from a traditional Japanese blacksmith with dad's name engraved on the blade in kanji script. He loved it, right up til my drunk cousin tried to use it to cut down a tree and snapped it in two. FML
Today, after my husband bought our son a sword for Xmas, sure enough, I found a stab mark in my living room wallpaper, and the sword now has a bent tip. My son denies everything and my husband claims I’m overreacting by yelling. FML
Today, after my husband refused to donate to Children in Need because it’s a "waste of money", he came home with swords and shields so he and our son could "wage war in the garden like knights". I wanted to donate £20, the swords and shields cost £500 at least, but I’m the one wasting money. FML
Today, I gave my husband an expensive watch. The first words out of his mouth were, "You didn't use our joint bank account for this, right?" He then asked if I still had the receipt. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend keeps a sword under the bed, a proper sharp 'knight on horseback' sword instead of the typical baseball bat for burglars, I found this out after I was groping under there for a dropped earring and cut one of my fingers down to the bone. FML
Today, I got a gift from my wife. It was a beautiful watch. The same exact watch I'd sold to our local jewelers for 6k. She bought it for 10k. When I told her, she said, "Hmmm, I thought it looked familiar." There goes 4K from our joint account. I could’ve thought of 4000 ways to spend that money. FML
Today, my husband sold a bunch of stuff from our garage to buy himself the latest Xbox. Unfortunately, the clown also sold the bicycle I don’t ride anymore. It was my nana’s vintage bicycle, with original wicker basket, worth several thousand to collectors. He accepted £80 for it on Facebook Marketplace. FML

If he mailed it, would there be a return address included? Go hunt him down and bring a cop or two.

There's only a return address if you write one on it, and I'm betting someone defrauding someone else didn't include a return address on the package. If they did, they are as dumb as OP's husband.

or the address is a fake.

Thanks for the enlightenment grace. And I'm not so sure you can fake a return address if you include it. I'm at least moderately sure that it has to be a valid existing address or will be returned to sender.

faking it as in it is not their address not a completely fake one.

Okay, send the username to somebody you know that's good with computers and find out where they live. Wait until they leave home and burn their house down, and leave THEIR note on their doorstep

When it comes to craigslist, if you buy an expensive item, you have to see it in person 1st because there is absolutely no protection for the buyer. I can't believe that your husband would spend that much money on something stupid.

You can agree to make the purchase using PayPal though. I did that to sell a phone card on CL once. Worked out well.

Yes but they aren't antiques, only rare. After all, Hanzo came out of retirement to make one for Beatrix.

Wow u married a dumbass

Can't say I blame him for getting excited. A genuine antique samurai sword at 500$ would be a ******* steal. Though I can blame him for buying it from craigslist and not seeing the seller about it first.
