See this eBay guide to buying haunted items.

Note the tutorial on how to create "ectoplasm" and "spirit orbs" around a roll of toilet paper.

Man, it's amazing what can stumble over accidentally in cyberspace, ain't it?

This explains why my "Stop Being Ugly Mirror - L@@K Physical Transformation L@@K" is having a hard time selling!

Listing Fads & Trends

In spite of the allegedly cosmic extent of magical forces, the use of magic on eBay usually prevails over a few specific concerns: love, money, and physical appearance. Even beyond these categories, listings seem to imitate each other, especially following an extremely high successful bid and sale.
Among the current listing fads:

* Fairies
* Physical Transformation amulets
* Dolls
* Coven Jewelry (jewelry enchanted by an entire coven or set of covens)
* "Masters Amulets" (reported to increase casting power)
* Jewelry allegedly dating to several centuries ago
* Multiplied casting items (triple casting, etc.)
* Wish-granting items
* Items having been owned by gypsies (esp. the so-called "bohemian gypsies," whatever those are)
* Genies

Every time you buy a haunted item, another demon gets his horns.

My favorite line is the first one: "The eBay market for haunted and enchanted items has swelled significantly over the last few years, and, with it, the possibility for fraud."


I'm thinking the ratio of increase is about 1:1.

I read until I can across this line:



<< <i> Definitive, scientifically acceptable evidence of spectral reality remains elusive. >>



That was enough for me.

Well, I read the whole thing. All I have to say is that I'm glad that in the author I have found someone who has more time on his hands than I do.

I think that was the one that made me the most. The spectral toilet paper roll was just icing on the cake.
