I was at glastonbury two years ago. I’m trying to decide which one to eat first. ---

> [@DeadlyAccurate](#): > > I would’ve bid, but it seems your soul doesn’t have pinky fingers capable of using the CAPS LOCK key, so I’ll pass. But thanks for the offer. That’s right. my soul, which is my spiritual essence and not my body, does not have any fingers. I’m sorry that this product is not for you but KEEP SHOPPING! :smack: ---

[QUOTE=neoof] … Ok, Mr pedantic pants…QUOTE] Any lurkers, waiting for a really good screen name before you sign up, I think I found you one: **Mr. Pedantic Pants** As for the OP, most people already have their own souls, so perhaps [helping them with their own souls](http://www.sixsixfive.com/157.html) would be a bit more useful to the average eBay user. ---

My question is, what exactly are you wearing there, what with the sun print and multicolored trim? I’m not sure I’d want some hippie soul. You’re pretty cute, though. You may not end up making a lot of money on your soul, but I’m guessing you’ll get a few “How you doin’?” e-mails. Good luck with that. ZJ ---

There’s at least seven other souls up for sale on eBay right now. (For the curious, there are seven [here](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=324&item=4167428621&rd=1), [here](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1467&item=4168197645&rd=1), [here](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1467&item=4168414054&rd=1), [here](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1523&item=4168589801&rd=1), [here](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1523&item=4168589953&rd=1), [here](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1469&item=4168027860&rd=1), and [here](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=324&item=4168679406&rd=1).) Why should I buy yours instead of someone else’s? ---

I dunno about the soul, but judging from Photo #2 there, I wouldn’t mind a part interest in your body. ---

OK, I considered a bid, but I’ve got some SERIOUS questions about Shipping. ---

The contract is what’s for sale and the contract dictates ownership. This it what i will say if ebay try and pull it 😉 ---

[This soul](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1523&item=4168589801&rd=1) and [this soul](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1523&item=4168589953&rd=1) are for sale by the same person! What a rip off. I have to say **neoof** , you have bought some very unusual stuff off of ebay. Ladies novelty socks, silky pajamas, and of course, a great big dollop of trick poo! What’s the trick poo for?? Good luck with your auction. ---

Yes. the big dollop of poo was for my ex. any womans clothing was for my current girl-friend 😃 ---

What a rip off. Actually, they’re for co-hosts of a morning radio show (one male, one female. Choose the sex of _your_ new soul!!!). There’s a competition to see which soul will bring in more cash. They’re just being listed through the same account. ---

If one was in the market for some extra soul, who would buy it from a white kid from the UK? Now, if James Brown had some to spare… ---

But, dear, your site says that such things are frowned upon by King Ebay. You don’t want to get banned, do you? I am with the others that have mentioned that you are quite the cutie. You may do better selling the body _leers salaciously_. ---
