What'll they think of next? Someone is auctioning off a Word Document and manuscript! I heard that an "Almost Square" piece of cardboard went for about $80.

They sell all kinds of things at ebay... Btw, what about that "soul-seller", OM? Was he a bit deranged, or just a fraud?  -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware!

that's kind of a catch-22. It would not be worth buying the soul of anyone willing to sell it. -------------------- Tip of the Day: #13 Stand clear the closing door. That's treason. (THNIK)(Peculiar James, FP productions co, inc) Posts: 816 | Registered: Friday, October 5 2001 07:00 |

They didn't sue him, they just took his auction down. Ebay's terms and conditions forbid the sale of body parts. Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

I'm sure you could try to sue e-bay because it recognizes the soul as a body part. However, you would need a really good lawyer. -------------------- Lt. Sullust Cogito Ergo Sum Polaris Posts: 2462 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

A soul could be a nickname for the sum of all of your thoughts, both concious and subconcious. Posts: 1918 | Registered: Sunday, October 13 2002 07:00 |

what do you mean it's against the rules for soemone to sell something that doesn't exist? Until you go to ebay's rules, and give me a quote, I will not believe you! Posts: 3 | Registered: Wednesday, August 27 2003 07:00 |

I'll sel my soul. As far as I'm concerned the idea of a soul is as farcical as the toothfairy. If I can make money out of it by selling it to someone who fancies themself a real-life Milhouse, then all the better. Md. Posts: 304 | Registered: Monday, October 1 2001 07:00 |

If one does not believe that one's soul is something that actually exists, one can see nothing to lose by selling it. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Centuries ago, one person was promised a demon by another and sued when he didn't get it. Curiously, the courts took a rationalist line on this, dismissing the case, rather than a traditionalist one, which would have involved calling the Witchfinder General. Or would it? A look into the background of the 'Faust' myth shopws interogating 'spirits' was once an academically respectable way of discovering new knowledge.

Let's see. I've seen: -An inflatable church -A bent paperclip -Nothing -A "haunted" painting -A real house that looks like a plane on a pedestal -Five cubic feet of packing peanuts -Thoughts of good will towards the buyer -A dollar bill -A Cheeto someone found in a package which was twice the normal size and of a really weird shape And I've probably seen more than that. Be sure to look at Albinoblacksheep.com, which seems to keep a list of weird e-Bay auctions. -------------------- Sharka, a two-ton white rhino, got amorous with Dave Alsop's car when he stopped with three friends to take pictures of the animal mating with his partner Trixie at the West Midland Safari Park. —CNN's website, 4/22/04 Note the value of commas.

You can sell pretty much anything on e-bay. I think I once saw an inflatable dartboard for sale.

Someone sold their virginity on Ebay for over 2 Grand. That is by far the most famous of odd things sold on Ebay. EGM magazine sold a half-eaten sandwich for $40 for the Sept. 11th fund. Peices of the second Mars Pathfinder (The one that was lost) and also scraps of the spaceship that crashed not so long ago. A friend of mine buys used clothes in large quantity. Whichever one of you claimed they are not allowed to sell body parts is sadly mistaken. Kidneys are quite frequent on the site. -------------------- Since Imban Likes to Edit my Posts ... ...

I actually had a friend who tried to sell his virginity on ebay. He only got $5 for it though. -------------------- You know, Scorp, there's a good reason you're not a moderator any more. Posts: 441 | Registered: Thursday, September 27 2001 07:00 |
