Haunted Everything For Sale On e-Bay

Firstly this is not an ad for e-bay or its supposedly haunted auction items, however it can be fun to look through their "weird stuff" categories on rainy days when there is nothing better to do. Some of the items listed make you wonder who the heck would buy this junk?

As an example one of our PSICAN members came across an auction for a "haunted key" The cost was quite a lot of money, and the seller said it would bring you bad luck. Lets just pretend it was true. Would you subject this "curse" to any one and make them pay 200 dollars for it? Would you buy such a thing?

The next item is a "haunted lamp" that the seller said turns off or on by itself in the middle of the night. Well for lack of a better word d'uh! It is a touch lamp which uses capacitance of your body to trigger it, and it can be triggered by other things like static electricity. At the very least it could be just faulty.

PT Barnum put it best with "there is a sucker born every minute" perhaps that is why we see so many "haunted" items for sale on e-Bay.

****************

Speaking of sale items, but ones that are definitely not haunted, but good quality, at cheap prices check out this sleep number bed I was having a look at. I always wanted one of these to combat my back problems, but they tended to be pricey. Its good to see that they are becoming affordable.
