Ebay Seller Auctions Off Family Curse to the Highest Bidder

Following Weird Auctions From Burnt Toast to Body Advertising on Ebay, Woman Attempts to Sell Cursed Photograph to Save Family

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) January 1, 2006 -- Following the new wave of slightly weird auctions from EBay, a "Cursed" photograph has been listed for sale by a Minnesota woman. The auction shares her story of unfortunate events that seemingly follow her family wherever they go. The listing also states that the she has a desire to become a professional photographer and that the photograph for sale was taken by her personally. The photograph is offered up for a rather exorbitant sum, which may discourage potential bidders.

When asked why she chose put such a high value on her photograph, the seller said, "I couldn't just list it for $10 bucks and hope that I could sell a couple prints. This is very important to my family, because we might end up losing our home. I had to do something a little crazy I guess."

Because the auction is not benefiting a charity, she is not allowed to state certain details in the listing regarding how the money will be spent if there is a winning bid. Her auction is listed under an identity that has yet to receive any feedback for transactions, but she says she occasionally sells and buys items under another identity and has been a member of Ebay since 2001. The seller requested to remain anonymous for the safety of her family.

Ebay currently hosts well over 400 million auctions per quarter and boasts over 168 million registered users worldwide. The "Everything Else" category has recently become very popular with users, and many of it's auctions are featured on the Ebay Pulse page.
