A Nelson woman is using Trade Me to get rid of the clothes her husband had worn before she gave him a post-marital makeover.

The Trade Me listing is titled "Bulk lot of my husbands disgusting pre-marriage clothes".

"Okay chums, i dont even know why i am wasting my time listing these!! (possibly to make him feel slightly good about his old 'choice' of attire) but anyway," she explains in the description.

The listing is titled "Bulk lot of my husbands disgusting pre-marriage clothes".

"These are some of the hideous things that were in my husbands wardrobe before we got married. They are simply awful/gundy/yuck...

"They could be used for anything: dogs bed (we don't have a dog), rags, or dress ups if you want to look like a mechanic on a bad day.

She posted this description about the clothing on Trade Me.

"Yes, you may have the shoes too, do not ask what size because i cannot bear to look inside but he is usually a 43," the woman penned.

The auction has been viewed 4000 times.

Three potential buyers have asked questions about the clothing, with one asking if the shirts can be ironed, should they win the auction.

"Yes, you may have the shoes too (pictured), do not ask what size because i cannot bear to look inside but he is usually a 43," wrote the seller on Trade Me.

The auctioneer responded saying: "No i cannot iron them because my iron has run out of water."

The current bid for the clothing is $3.00, with the auction closing on Monday evening.
