We all know that you can find just about anything you want on this worldwide forum from the weird to the wonderful, rare to everyday junk.

I began questioning this when I came across a ring I fell in love with. The seller indicated that it was haunted. I bid on the ring and won.... got a great deal on it too. Now I am waiting for the haunting part to begin. I have purchased rings that were blessed for riches and assorted other things but none of these wondrous events have occured in my life, as of yet.

Does this mean I am immune to being haunted or am I already as blessed as I am going to get?

I do know that I have found some pretty nice rings for my daughter and I at better than wholesale price but I want the blessings and hauntings too.... I thought that was part of the deal.

As a doll collector and dealer I am opposed to folks selling NEW dolls as haunted and possessed dolls. I have many antique dolls and not one of them has any type of spirit energy in them.

I don't doubt that there may be a grain of truth to some of the descriptions such as blessings under the full moon, etc. and if that is your thing in selling online then go for it. But I doubt that an Ashton Drake Snow White doll from the 1990s is haunted by anything or anyone.

If you want a good laugh you should read some of the "stories" behind these items.

I will say that all of the folks I bought the rings from were great, they shipped quickly and the stone only fell out of one.

Now to the "buy an envelope" auctions. What is this about. Is there something in the envelope that is worth money or are you just getting a plain white envelope?

This sounds like a lottery and I thought this type of action was illegal in most states.

To me it is way too much like the late night TV evangelist giving away anointed prayer handkerchiefs that turn out to me a photocopied piece of paper that looks like a hankie.... yes, I had to call one night and get one just to see what it was all about and I got a piece of paper.

Maybe I will start selling my envelopes. Who wants to be the first bidder???
