Woman Auctions Ghost On eBay

[matcom]

<snip>

A US woman's effort to assuage her six-year-old son's fears of his grandfather's ghost by selling it on eBay has drawn more than 34 bids with a top offer of $100.

Mary Anderson said she placed her father's "ghost" on the online auction site after her son Collin said he was afraid the ghost would return.

Ms Anderson said Collin had avoided going anywhere in the house alone since his grandfather died last year.

In a description titled "This isn't a joke", Ms Anderson told Collin's story on eBay: "I always thought it was just normal kid fears until a few months ago he told me why he was so scared. He said: 'Grandpa died here, and he was mean. His ghost is still around here'."

The deceased's cane was put up for auction so the winning bidder would receive something.

2. The bidder has a -1 feedback ...

With 3 negatives and 2 positives.

If I were the seller, I'd remove his bid.

3. The bidder below that has zero feedback. You'd have to delete..

back to the $500.00 bidder to get rid of the deadbeat bidders. Still, $500 is looking pretty good for a cane.
