#11 Ghost in a Jar

Yes, a ghost. In a jar. Well, why not? The ghost was, apparently, terrorising, the man who owned it, and so he decided to capture it and sell it on eBay to someone who might be able to give it a better home. By Jeff Cohen.

#9 Britney Spears Chewed Gum

#5 The Internet

If people can sell plots of land on the moon, then why can't someone sell the Internet? Someone did just that, for the bargain asking price of $1 million. Of course, it was all just a gag and it's unlikely that this Pay Pal transaction ever went through. But still, it would have been the deal of the century-the buyer was even throwing in free Internet access. By Rob Lee.

Has anyone ever tried to sell their soul on ebay? Im so doing it.



Edit: **** someone beat me to it.

After further research apparently now ebay has a policy of barring people from selling non-physical items, such as spirits, souls, ghosts etc.



Too bad, I remember the Ghost in a jar from the NHTA forum on the O-boards, that auction was aaaaawwwwsome.



So, for #4, does the seller have to maintain her virgin status indefinately until the winner, er.. comes to collect so to speak? I wonder if those terms were covered in the auction description.

Why should that stop you? Give me a cut and I'll embed your soul in a rock I found for you. Then you can sell that.
