This thank you letter to an eBay seller will give you feelings

Oonagh Keating. Updated February 18th, 2019

There can’t be many emotional upsides to selling stuff on eBay, unless you include the joy of seeing the money go into your account, but one seller got a lovely surprise that has warmed the cockles of our hearts. Seller MarshmallowMatt took to Reddit to share the thank you letter he received from a buyer.

The 86-year-old wrote about what the VHS player had allowed them to do.

“I watched tapes of my retirement party from 25 years ago which I had never seen before. Jeez, were we young. Then a tape of my wedding with all the family and friends, many of which are no longer around.

Then skiing trips, kids growing up, travels, and most importantly the gentle maturing of my family. Each one more fun than the last. All thanks to your generous selling of the VHS player.”

The Reddit post has gone viral, with over 160 upvotes, as well as spilling out onto Twitter, where it continued to melt hearts.
