The ultimate scary story!

Hah, you know what's messed up? I don't know if it's the same seller, but this item (or a similar one) has been sold before with the exact same story behind it -- I recall reading about that around last summer. Wait, I'd just scanned it -- a closer read yields that it is purported to be, in fact, the same item. But of course I don't buy it (figuratively speaking) -- if you really thought you had a cabinet with demons inside, would you sell it on ebay?

Quote:

I hope there's someone on Ebay that will take this thing off of my hands. [I would just throw it away in the woods or something, but I know there has been some interest in it in the past.]

Even without the demons in your house, selling them to someone else on ebay's gotta be grounds for getting you into Hell...

And Matthew138: There's no way in bleeding hell I would've destroyed the Sailor Jupiter/TMNT doujinshi. Not only would I have championed it as one of the greatest things ever created, but it would've gotten an extensive review. Are you familiar with what we do over at SC?

I like weird stuff as it is, but anything with Turtles is automatically in...and coupled with my special love for Sailor Jupiter, this thing had me at hello.

Or it would've, if I'd gotten it.

i don't know if that story is true or not, but i like a good chiller, and that was certainly an intreguing one... a haunted box... sounds like a good mystery. if i weren't such a weenie, i'd want to check it out. as it is, i probably wouldn't touch the thing with a ten-foot pole.

I don't know if I'd trust this stuff, as it looks like it's bottled in the same containers as Holiday Inn's 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner.

*Wes* · 02-19-2004, 01:37 PM

Wow, holy water and a coffin on ebay. If the latter came with a corpse

and some lube, I'd definitely throw in a bid...

That was a joke, people

...don't be so stiff!

Yep.

*That Matt Guy* · 03-07-2004, 12:43 PM

WHAT THE HELL

Suito! Better get to bidding, folks -- this one's gonna be hot!

'Cept you can probably find it in boardwalk dollar stores...

Yep.

You know, you can buy human bones on eBay. I've purchased three hands so far.

You're kidding, right? 'Cause that's just...creepy.

Oh, Skel.

*Skeletoncrew* · 03-17-2004, 11:06 PM

Nope. I'm not kidding. I make jewelry using human bones. I'm currently working on a piece for school, it will be worn over the left hand. It was supposed to be a full hand plus a ring, but I discovered that I'm missing a metacarpal (must have miss-counted when I got my purchase, I do check my eBay purchases for accuracy), so I'm going to see what my professor thinks of replacing the bone with a bejeweled silver brooch.

*Wes* · 03-17-2004, 11:11 PM

Then consider me officially creeped out...

I mean, where are these hands coming from? And who the heck would wear jewelry made from human bones?!?!?!?!?

Besides you, darling...

*hides his hands*

*Skeletoncrew* · 03-18-2004, 06:34 AM

How odd, I wrote and posted (I thought) a reply to this earlier.

The bones I buy essentially come from used medical skeletons. They start to fall apart, medical institutions eventually replace them. The old skeletons get sold to companies like www.boneroom.com I'm reusing them. Its ecologically friendly!

Skel: Creepy...I don't think I'd want my bones to be made into jewelry after I died. And I don't think I'd want to wear jewelry made from bones either... That's too creepy even for me.

MTN: Awesome. I should start selling crap like this!

*Skeletoncrew* · 03-19-2004, 01:53 AM

Each to their own!

Actually, I think that would be kinda cool. Though knowing me, the person(s) who wore it would end up cursed.

*Wes* · 03-19-2004, 05:46 PM

Kali: I think anyone who would wear jewelry made from human bones has already been cursed...with a really creepy fashion sense.

This is giving me some interesting ideas for original characters, though.
