Boy sells Grandpa's ghost on eBay
HOBART, Ind. (United Press International via COMTEX)
-- An Indiana boy has reportedly convinced his mother to put his grandfather's ghost up for sale on eBay so the ghost wouldn't come back to haunt him. Six-year-old Collin Anderson's grandfather died in the boy's home.
Collin's mother, Mary Anderson, told the Indianapolis Star the ghost is being auctioned along with Collin's grandfather's cane. There's one catch: whoever wins the bidding war must send Collin a letter letting him know they have received both items - the cane and the ghost. Grandpa's ghost and cane have so far drawn more than 30 bids and a top offer of $78. Bidders have posted a variety of messages about the unusual auction item.
"I have had ghosts go bad before and haven't had a warranty.
I don't want to deal with another bad ghost. Thanks.
Will you ship to Canada?" asked one skeptical bidder.
Collin, who is named after his now-ghostly grandfather, will get to spend the proceeds, the Star said.
PS. I can't find the eBay link to this story but if you do a search for grandpa's ghost on eBay you'll find a dozen or so copycats now selling grandpa's ghost. One haunted Grandpa's cane even comes with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich... shades of the recent craziness over a "miraculous grilled cheese sandwich" on eBay! http://search.ebay.com/Grandpas-ghost_W0QQfromZR40QQsatitleZGrandpaQ27sQ20ghostQQsojsZ1
