Sydney Tradie buys coffin and tries to sell it for $2000 on Facebook group but faces criticism

A shopaholic tradie got in trouble with his wife after she told him his $3,000 impulse purchase had no place in her house.

Jeremy Bourke, a man from Sydney, went to a buy, sell and swap group on Facebook to post a photo of a bronze metal casket he recently paid thousands of dollars for.

In the now-deleted post, Mr Bourke said he had to unload the brand new coffin and suggested buyers could throw their wives in for free.

Mr Bourke was in hot water when he brought the coffin home and showed it to his wife, who was quick to tell him to get rid of it.

The coffin was originally bought for $3,000, but the regretful Tradie wrote that he was now willing to get rid of it for just $2,000, accepting a $1,000 loss for his costly mistake.

After bringing home the literal coffin, he was quickly told to get rid of it by his wife, who didn’t want it in the house

“I bought it for the man cave but the woman (sic) doesn’t want it in the house. Especially after I told her I bought it for her…hahaha,” he wrote.

“I don’t plan on dying anytime soon, so I need to get rid of it.”

Mr Bourke said he had a number of ideas about what to do with it and was hoping “to use it as a toolbox on the ute for a laugh,” but his wife told him it had to go.

The tradie then asked any interested buyers to pick it up in Strathfield in Sydney’s inner west, and suggested “we can throw the mistress in for free!”

His comments were immediately flagged as offensive by users on the Facebook page, while others mocked his bizarre purchase.

“What a creep,” wrote one.

“Why not bury those misogynist ‘jokes’ with it?” One woman hit back.

“Peak Boomer Humor,” wrote a third.
