Why ask for money? Why not just give the cane away? Tough story but it's tough to take someone's money for a crappy junk cane.

It is a sad story but I have to agree with Apache, hope she doesn't actually accept the money. As bad as I need it, I don't think that little voice in my head would let me take it.

Why not take the money? People are throwing away some really big money on dumber things than this on EBay.

Sounds like the family is having some hard times, some folks out there seem to have more money than brains ("Hey, remember that ghost for sale on EBay?? I'm the one who bought it!!") and they want to feel good by doing something nice for somebody else and helping the kid (or so they think).

Hopefully, she'll take the money and pay down the mortagage, or pay off her credit cards or something else smart.

I wouldn't do it, but I don't have a problem with her doing it. Go for it, I say. If someone is dumb enough to offer her 14 grand for dad's cane and a good story, I say be smart enough to take it!

Happy Holidays!!
John

I wouldn't be too confident about my auction if there was a bidding war between two bidders with the feedbacks 0 and -1.

There's at least one ghost maybe more in my house! I didn't believe the stories I'd heard about the house before we bought. It's true we think because my wife & I can't come up with any other reason for the things we've seen & heard. They're not bad either, which makes the place easier to live in.

I couldn't find that auction this morning so I did a search for "ghost cane" and turns out there is a whole lot more than a cane , check it out, Even a Ghost VW. Also see some of the Q and A's.

I had a turd last night with a ghost in it. I flushed the darn thing it scared the hell out of me. Should have thrown it in a zip lock bag and put it on ebay.

Really? I had a movement that looked like the face of mother Theresa. You think it is worth something?

I had an 87 Monte Carlo Aerocoupe that I bought from a pawn shop...it'd been there for a couple of years and I got it for what was remaining on the pawn ticket. It was a good deal and a fairly rare car (only 6500 of them made.)

But it was haunted. I swear it was. Every time I'd fix something, it would cut me. Even something as simple as replacing a tail light lamp...it had to break and slice my fingers open. Then there was the dashboard/speedo cable nightmare. Two weeks to get the gauges going...and a significant amount of blood lost from the hands and arms. Same problems with the power window and door lock switches...and one window motor. Again, that car tried to slice my arms and hands to ribbons. I've still got a two-inch long scar on the back of my left hand from putting new plug wires in it.

I finally gave up and sold it for twice what I'd paid...although I'd really planned to do a complete restoration on it. I even drove it from Utah to Albuquerque to deliver it to the buyer. It was one car (and malevolent spirit) that I didn't mind getting rid of.
