Big soft cuddly teddy bear. Needs good home. Did I mention that it's possessed? Yeah. This big ol' softy is hardened by the forces of evil and pure putrid hate. He'll drive your girlfriend crazy, kill your cat, decapitate your other childhood stuffed animals, and then once he's destroyed everything you love in your life he'll come after you with a kitchen knife. And you can have him for about $350 on eBay. No joke. However, you better hurry because the auction ends in 2 days.
This guy has spun this incredible "possessed evil bear" back story for this one item, a mangy ol' teddy bear with no eyes. BUT, it's working. The auction is already up to about $360. Now, I've done some thinking and this is an ingenious tactic. Take a regular item, and give the people a huge backstory for it. Make the item into something more. I'm sure a couple pages of creativity and a piece of junk you don't want is worth about $200 plus.Check out his eBay auction for the entire backstory. The real joy is reading the questions that people have left for this auction.
If the auction goes down I've provided his backstory in a .txt file for Download.
