I'm not sure. If the story is true, then at least there's a point to it. And It did only go for $78.

Whereas that nutri-grain piece went for over $1,000 AU.

Crazy world.

Ah. Eh. Umh.
People are scary.

On the other hand, one could get rich with this kind of stuff. How much would you pay for, lets say... the Spirit of New Age?

So the ghost is evil, but the kindest soul in the world... Some people are simply desperate...

Sigmar, Now I agree with you.

Click here

It was sold for $65,000.

I hate the world. And everyone in it.

Actually the seller added this info (which IMO means her objective is not to make money on it):

On Dec-05-04 at 05:26:10 PST, seller added the following information:

As you can see I have cancelled those outrageous bids for this. Please don't go overboard on this. I just want to make my son feel at ease here. I am trying to read everyones questions. I know there are copy-cats with the exact same auction going on. Although I am glad they took some of the attention away from here I don't like the few that are using my fathers photo.
I am a nervous wreck right now, I can't believe this went so far. Please keep the bidding at a minimum.. Thank you
