Going once: soul for sale

Before being taken down by the powers at eBay, the woman – known as Lori N – had set a starting price of $2,000 on the ‘slightly used soul’.
According to The Huffington Post, Lori was in a serious car accident in 2007 and suffered multiple injuries.
After learning that eBay had removed her listing, she told US television station KOB: ‘I’m tired... I don’t feel good. I’m near the end of my rope. I really am.’
eBay maintains a strict policy on selling human remains, but it’s policy on selling souls remained somewhat ambiguous until Lori’s experience.
