Strange News: Man Selling Soul On EBay For £500k
An American man is selling his soul on the internet for £500,000 - to raise money for Christmas.
He says the winning eBay bidder will receive his spirit in a glass jar as well as a contract "relinquishing ownership".
He told buyers: "I've got no money for the Christmas holidays, and all I've got left to sell is my soul.
"I'm not really using it lately - and selling it on eBay is better than letting the Devil have it."
The seller from LA added: "Keep it for yourself, or give it to someone you know who needs one. Who knows what it may be capable of?
"My hope is that with the money I can get a life and then buy it back."
The starting bid is $1 million, but surprisingly he has yet to receive an offer.
But he is still hopeful of lucre because the auction has another day to run.
The sale is reminiscent of an episode of the Simpsons, when Bart sells his soul to Milhouse.
Bart laughs at the idea until he finds automatic doors fail to open for him.
The lot is just one of a number of wacky items currently on sale on eBay - including a dollar bill with the face of Jesus on it.
