Irish Ghost in a bottle - ebay

robbie1876 · 10-10-2004 11:41am #1

Apparantly, Michael Jackson is bidding on this item over on ebay. At the time of posting the highest bid was over £1,500,000 sterling. Funny to see a bit of Irish Ebay madness for a change.

They seem to have started a trend for selling ghosts in bottles....

i have a ghost in a bottle whats the big deal?

PurpleFistMixer · 10-10-2004 12:24pm

Ghosts are nothing compared to GENIES. Now there's something to get excited about.

X-Dawg · 10-10-2004 1:02pm

Why do eBay bother entertaining crap like that?

tk123 · 10-10-2004 1:13pm

Ok if your house was hanuted and you got a priest in to take care of the ghost WHY would you keep him in a bottle in your house!!??!!?

PurpleFistMixer · 10-10-2004 1:27pm

So you could sell it on ebay?

No you don't

He's not offering Shipping Insurance on the item. There is NO WAY I'm paying GBP£1.5 million on the ghost, and having to entrust An Post with its delivery.....

Hobbes · 10-10-2004 4:39pm

I would be willing to hand it personally to Jacko for 100k in cash.

Doper Than U · 10-10-2004 5:44pm

Funniest thing ever. The guy who pays 1.5 million for that DESERVES to lose his money for being THAT stupid.

The_Conductor · 10-10-2004 5:52pm

Personally I do believe in spirits, but think anyone who thinks they have a ghost in a bottle is off their rocker. As for bidding 1.5million- well as they say, a fool and his money are soon parted.

At time of me reading highest bid was only* £1550. Typo?

*still a rip-off for a bottle and a rolled up bible page though.

hacktavist · 10-10-2004 10:12pm

Look at the bid history, its just the same people bidding over and over to get up the price.

[CALIBUR] · 10-10-2004 10:13pm

someone took fart in it I bet

MrNuked · 10-10-2004 10:18pm

The priest was having a laugh. He showed them an empty bottle and said the spirits are gone.

after seeing that it makes me think I should list my "storm in a teacup" on ebay... Feckin thing has been in a tupperware box under the stairs for about 8 years now... I need to sell it so I can get that €2mil house in Malibu I've been after.

woosaysdan · 10-10-2004 10:49pm

if is was a fart you can only imagine the smell when they open the bottle!!!

StRiKeR · 10-10-2004 10:54pm

i might dig up some old crap in my garage to sell too, then i may buy a new house, heh heh!!! spirit exist but you cant trap them in a bottle can you?? i dont believe that myself!

cdebru · 10-10-2004 11:01pm

true, its very hard to open sometimes!!!

cdebru · 10-10-2004 11:32pm

btw price has dropped backt £1550
much more reasonable for a bottle with a page stuck in it

StRiKeR · 10-10-2004 11:42pm

but how much does it cost to get a bible and a bottle tho, make it better yet, how about a bottle of volka??

I guess the highest bids have now been withdrawn. I think it went over 2 million at one stage. How frustrating must that be, to watch your auction go to those heights and then drop down to £1500. Still though, not a bad price for a fart in a bottle.

woosaysdan · 11-10-2004 7:48pm

i was listening to beat fm and they were interviewing the fella selling the item and they couldnt stop laughing at him he sounded very drunk and they joked that he was really in contact with spirits!!!

Hobbes · 11-10-2004 8:21pm

Selling crap on ebay is nothing new. Here is how to sell your own.
