Thought some of the this group's regulars would be interested in this post of mine in GD: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1811627

1. One one hand, he/she is a charleton, on the hand,

these people believe their clocks, paintings, and whatever are haunted. If someone is going to get rid of perfectly fine antiques anyway, SyFy may as well hire a crew to take them.

2. Here - he can hit the mother lode!

Just for defecations and girlish laughs, I Googled the term "haunted items ebay."

Mr. Google came back with: About 1,380,000 results

This must be some rare, magicKal stuff because they USE A LOT OF ALL CAPS...

The first one I clicked seemed to be offering dead babies. Which would certainly haunt me:

HAUNTED BABY FAIRY PENDANT WITH 6 TINY FAE! RARE ITEM!

These babies were brought to our realm recently by a huge spark of rainbow colored energy that when burst revealed groupings tiny fae! They have chosen to bring light and happiness to each one that receives one of these beautiful pendants!

...Agnes is 85 years old and her home is devoted to the Fairies.,,As we sipped tea, the tiny fairies buzzed around the table.

Those were probably flies. Buzzing around...well, what flies usually buzz around.

WARNING: this ad plays music. What, is it 1999 already and we can put music with our eBay ads? Kewl! I'm pretty sure I recognized the music from that rare collector's CD, Hosni Mubarak's Greatest Hits - Music To Torture Dissidents By.

As a former resident of Egypt, I loved this one. Werewolf spirit food? WTF? I never heard of any connection between ancient Egypt and werewolves. Though I've often pondered the theological question - how would you get rid of an Islamic vampire? Obviously a crucifix wouldn't work. Wave a pork chop at it? Clearly I'll need some Sophisticated Theology to solve that one...

You are bidding on (ONE) 12 SERVING SIZE PACKAGE OF EGYPTIAN SPIRIT FOOD. EACH SERVING USES APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TEASPOON OF FOOD.

THEREFORE, THIS PACKAGE CONTAINS APPROXIMATELY 3 TEASPOONS OF DRY MEASURE WEREWOLF SPIRIT FOOD.

Followed by the good old, non-Speeruchul FDA warning: SOME SETTLING OF THE CONTENTS MAY OCCUR DURING SHIPPING.
