Last Update: Wednesday, December 8, 2004. 1:20pm (AEDT)'Ghost' sold for $US65,000 on eBay

An online casino has placed the winning bid for a "ghost" being auctioned on eBay.

Goldenpalace.com, which last month won a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich bearing the image of the Virgin Mary for $US28,000 on eBay, bought the ghost being offered by Mary Anderson along with the deceased's cane for $US65,000.

The ghost and cane attracted 132 bids.

The online casino hopes to put the grilled sandwich and the ghost with its cane on tour.

Ms Anderson reiterated that the purpose of the exercise was simply to reassure her five year-old-son who was uneasy about living in a house that he felt was haunted by his "mean" grandfather.

By way of explanation, Ms Anderson said that her father had died of cancer at home and towards the end had occasionally become irritated with his young grandson and had tapped him with his walking cane.

To convince her son that the ghost had indeed gone, Ms Anderson decided to offer her father's walking cane along with his ghost for sale on eBay - with free shipping.

I think I'll have to bid on the first one! Well, at least you get ghost food, a bill of sale and instructions on how to take care of the ghost! Let's just hope the ghost likes steak or lobster or something good like that! http://mysticwicks.com/images/smilies/rotflol.gif

There was one item on there not too long back that was sort of like that.

Only it was a...

Possessed Duckie!

That's right, it was a possessed rubber duckie, a little 3 year old's bath toy that they were saying housed the spirit of an evil man and that the rubber duckie had attacked their son. <.<;

I just wanna know who is dumb enough to by a ghost? HELLO WEIRDO!!!!Ya know, if they're marketed properly they just might sell! :lol: I think that first guy has the right idea. Bill of sale, ghost food and instructions. (Wouldn't it be interesting if the ghost food actually disappeared!) And there was a $5.00 shipping fee on that one too. Did you see that?

It sorta reminds me of the pet rock craze.

um, what EXACTLY do ghosts eat? maybe we should look into the ethics of ghost selling. is it immoral? do they need a bill of ghost rights?

this probably sounds like I'm being sarcastic, but I'm not. If I was a ghost, I'd be furious if someone thought they had the right to sell me. I'd haunt them for the rest of their days

:hehehe:

sorry guys, I dont know what the hell I've done here!!!!!!!!
