I was hoping for a nice long paranormal story... but no. Actual paranormal yarn. I think I'll buy it and see if I can find someone to knit a super duper paranormal touque for me.

My wonderful eyesight made me think that the title of this thread was "A Paranormal Yam", perhaps a story about haunted sweet potatoes.
Does anyone notice the wonderful little out he seller gives? The yarn won't work if the buyer is "spiritually impure" or if there is "Negative energy" or (just in case nothing else works) "The Yarn is losing its chi". :roll:

I still think my idea of selling Placebo Pills is a good one.

Easy. the auction ended.
My guess is this guy set his opening bid too high. If he'd set it at ten or fifteen bucks, he probably woulda gotten some bids. People will buy anything.

I know, the same person had a rock blessed in Tibet on E-bay for $2500. They used a different screen name, but the picture of the rock had the same carpet behind it.
Pretty funny as well - here it is (http://www.weirdauctions.com/auction.cfm?pageid=85) . The description is actually much funnier than the yarn, but didn't offer a pun opportunity of such quality.
