I wonder how one would figure the cost basis on a soul?

You should convince your father to allow you to sell yours on Ebay.

I'd argue that one's soul is an asset inherited from its prior host. As an inherited asset, one's cost basis is the value at the time of inheritance. The very fact that the soul is being sold indicates that it has likely depreciated since inheritance. Therefore, no tax is due.

ahhhh - it all becomes clear.
I'm not sure if eBay wants to expend a lot of effort collecting final value fees from those selling their souls so blatantly. I recall reading about some similar auctions which they pulled in the past. On the other hand, we all know of a PowerSeller or two we may think sold their souls for profit from eBay bidders, yet the venue is still thriving. My guess is they will pull this auction saying that human souls are a prohibited item, and that their terms of service require sellers to be a bit more sophisticated when it comes to cashing in their souls online.
Is he trying to remember past lives and add up all of the lifespans??

Isn't that the truth!

TPN - Don't feel bad. The market for souls is notoriously weak from oversupply at the admissions office of any law school.
