So, what would you sell yours for? This is, of course, assuming we all have one and the Devil (or if you are a sailor, Davy Jones) is buying
I can't think of anything myself at the moment, I just wanted to post this topic before I forgot, I'll get back to you on it.
Oh and you can't be boring and say $1,000,000 (or any other amount of money)
EDIT: If you sell your soul when you finally die (or after the contract runs out) you get to spend eternity in hell/crewing the Flying Dutchman

At the moment nothing. I'm very content with my life.

Are the consequences for selling your soul the standard Judeo-Christian ones (eg, Faust)?
I would sell mine for playing the piano. To have the chance to do that for the rest of my life, instead of...whatever a degree in Philosophy is good for.

For youth everlasting, maybe.
Don`t think there is soul separate from my body, though, so that`s under question.

I'd like to know specifically what the consequences of having sold your soul would be before I ever do it.
However, even if it was a small consequence, I don't think I'd do it. Whenever I think "If I had a free wish, what would I wish for?" I think about how I don't want to be simply given something so easily, I want to earn it, I want to deserve it. Just being given something doesn't feel the same as truly earning it.
I also prefer experiencing things over material possesions (but I still like material possesions, I won't deny that). And you can't simply wish to have an experience, you have to find a way to bring that experience about to truly experience it.
So I can't think of anything I'd sell my sould for.

I would like to know what constitutes for a soul, and if they even know. If the soul traders don't, then I can trick them easily and get anything I want.

I don't think that i have one, but i sold it anyways once for $3 to my magic practicing friend just to disprove that The Simpsons theory that you can't breathe on class, animals hate you and that you don't have a shadow anymore.
Well, that theory is busted ;) haha

Only $3?
Well, I guess it was a friend...
Go find a rich person like him who isn't your friend. Reap the riches.

Perhaps i should claim it back and sell it on Ebay

LOL, I tried that but they refused to buy saying they didn't want to condemn me to hell or some such rubbish.

You can make a living selling your soul on ebay if you have a good story. I once saw a "soul in a plastic baggie" go for almost $50.

I went down to the crossroads and didn't get an offer; perhaps I was at the wrong one, either way, I have felt totally worthless since and considered becoming an Emo (funny hair, blunt razor blades) because of it.
I am still open to offers; anyone! someone? pppppleasssseeeee!

although I appreciate the offers because they are 600 and 625 times higher than anything previously offered I will have to think about it. HANG ON that is US dollars isn't it? SHIT that is becoming serious money when I convert to Aussie cash!

*cough* an Ipod IS the 10 minutes in hell.. :wink:
Actually, my soul once got eaten by my best friend's brother..
Then I lost it in a game of Texas Hold Em' when a friend ran out of play money and bet my soul (without asking) so that he could stay in. All that ammounted to was being a textbook slave for a day.

I'm thinking of buying a soul on eBay for about £50 then selling it on the the Devil for a really nice car. Not sure which one yet...
reckon that would work?
Alice Shade

No.
Devil owns eBay, so she`s got first dibs on all the souls sold there.

Only if She is the highest bidder.... thinks..... She probably has that last minute bidding program sewn up!
Did someone say 50 pounds for a soul?

Oh with my iPod and a wall charger I could go an eternity in hell mind you. :wink:
Problem is, there are probably no wall chargers in hell. Maybe I'll just sneak into bill's office once in a while!

You should have a dynamo charger that charges the iPod from your movements, like steps and stuff like that.
Hey, that could be a cool invention.
I invented that!! Now it's mine, MINE!!! ©®™!!!

Bad idea, with eternal youth you can still be killed, choose immortality.

Nah.
Immortality means you could be chopped up and spend the rest of eternity as aging beefsteak.

How many people have actually thought what immortality would be like?
Having had the time to do absolutely everything it is possible to do you would still have enough time to do it all again and again and again and again an infinite number of times. Sounds like it would get kind of boring after a while to me.
Paradise? Sounds more like Hell ;)
Alice Shade
December 12th, 2006, 06:03 PM
Well, arguably there would always be something new to find.
Which is why I want eternal youth rather then immortality. I could die, at least, if it would be too bad.

You could always sell your soul for death.

Has anyone seen that Twilight Zone episode? A guy sells his soul to the Devil in turn for immortality, with the stipulation that if he dies he goes to Hell.
He decides he wants to try this out and so kills his wife because he wants to like, give the electric chair a joyride or something. In court he does all he can to get a death sentence, so much so that the court finds him INSANE and just gives him life instead of the chair. So of course he asks Satan to grant him death.
