How much is your soul worth? I really couldn't say. Currently this dude's soul is worth 97 dollars.

A friend of mine did this a long time ago. Offered up his soul in a jar. eBay cancelled the auction under the guise of not allowing the auctioning of body parts. My friend wrote them a long missive about how dare they imply that the soul is a corporeal body part, that eBay had denigrated his religion and he planned to launch a discrimination lawsuit, etc etc but eBay was unafraid!

I remember in High School I was without a lunch one day, so I had to sign on a napkin that I forgave all rights to my soul to any person with the napkin. I gave the napkin to a kid named Mike in exchange for a slice of cheese pizza.

the bidding was up to $95; sell! Do it again with new e-bay account, you'll have more than enough.

The joke is on the high bidder... this guy's soul is probably going to hell for downloading illegal MP3s for his iPod...

You'd think "god_333" would have a higher feedback rating...

The guy lives in Scarboro, ON. No one on their right mind would want his soul. eBay'll kill this before it finishes.

Which is dumber: bogus eBay auctions like this, or the people who make bogus bids on the bogus item? There are much better ways to collect money from strangers.

The guy may make a killing off of this sale, but he'll forever after be rowing his rowboat in a circle.

This guy also sold this gift wrap. Not quite as funny, but he also bought this dock for the iPod he doesn't own yet.

Looks like it's a bidding war between god_333 and satan_00!

Well of course, it's an incorporeal body part, they never said otherwise. N.b., unlike Satan I'm not willing to wait until you die naturally. I buy your soul, I want possession right now. Shuck that physical body and climb into the collection jar.

You mean to tell me you sold your everlasting soul for that? Well, I figured I wasn't usin' it....

Man posts hilarious ebay auction for soul! Something never before imagined by human minds! Edgy, hilarious, and full of Simpson's references. Genius.
