Go read the myspace page again.

I just took it in the ass from eBay. This could have gone to 10k+.

Whoa.  What happened? (sorry, can't find the myspace page now).

Anyway, can't you sell it off-ebay then, now that it's famous?  Surely you must have some of those email addresses or ebay user names at least?

They sure gave you a bullshit reason for pulling it, too. How can they conclude you aren't selling an item when the item is pictured?

I guess maybe the problem was they felt you were selling the 'supernatural qualities' of the item? Or maybe thay don't believe your story of possession, demonic presence, etc.

I think you should unleash it's dark forces on E-bay.

I'm going to run a second listing, three day auction, launching it so it'll finish at 5pm west coast time.

If you guys want to give me some tips on how I'm doing this new one, it would be appreciated.. I had thought I wouldn't have to expend any more energy on this.

This is Baron. I listed him earlier with eBay and he became world famous.

I listed a long and now well known account of things that happened to do with this bear. The listing recieved over 110k views, 800+ watchers, nearly a thousand dollars in bids,  and hundreds of questions / emails. I noted publicly that it was odd that an auction with 800 watchers was beat out of the Pulse by listings for e-books that had less views than I had watchers. The auction was promptly reported as fraudulent (I wonder by who?) and pulled by eBay. If you want to find a copy of the original listing, it will not be difficult.

Dear eBay: I am following all rules and guidelines when listing this item. Removing my listing when I am not in violation of the contract entered in to when signing up for an account and listing an item will be taken seriously this time.

Now that that's out of the way, let's do this.

Baron is very famous. Baron has thousands and thousands of fans. Baron is a rather aged stuffed bear. I am not responsible for anything that happens if you win the auction and receive him, or for nothing happening. You are bidding on and receiving an extremely famous stuffed bear which I claim has seriously malicious and bad paranormal activity associated with it. When the auction is finished I will release the final account of the story involved with Baron.

Since this has been an active discussion here of course we'll allow continued updates and posting of the auction listing, but just for the record, I would really rather people did not list their ebay auctions in new posts (a link to all of your active auctions in your sig is of course fine).

every time I try to buy something on ebay, there are all kinds of credit-card and pay-pal steps I have to go through that take too long. and so I realize that by the time I could complete them, the auction would be over.
so I have never bought anything.

So I guess they cancelled the item again, huh?  The last line of the cancellation notice just sounds so menacing:  "Try searching for another item now." 

Show's over... nothing to see here.
