« Bargain of the Day: Ark fountain, water not supplied | Main | Unknown substance abuse »
I suspect today's bargain is a joke: Ghost Trapped in a Light Bulb, not in a Jar:
Up for auction is a unique and mysterious light bulb containing something from beyond. Call it a ghost, poltergyst, hoax if you will, but this is the real thing, I swear! Once this lightbulb was very ordinary, but then a spirit from the dead came to reside in it. With a blinding flash, this ghost took over the light bulb and masked the bulb's 100 watt luminescent power forever. Some people may tell you it's just a burnt out bulb, but believe me, it is much more, I know. Remember, ghosts are invisible, that's why you can't see it in there. Also, when you shake the bulb you agitate the ghost and you will hear him rattle his chains at you. Many strange things have happened since this bulb has become the eternal resting place of the spirit, but they are so strange and mysterious I cannot share them with you. Some people have suggested just thowing the bulb away or breaking it to release the ghost within. I warn you now, this bulb comes with a curse. Should the bulb ever break, the ghost inside will release a small amount of harmless, inert gas(most likely Argon) into the vicinity of the guilty party. I know the bidding starts rather high, but I am not being completely greedy, I'm being thoughful too. I am simply trying to keep you from bidding so you do not have to accept the burden and responsibility of owning a ghost who was trapped in a light bulb.
The incredibly high starting price is 99 cents (US - about 66p) and this search reveals far too much Ghost in a Jar ephemera.
