Soul Auction

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Some might call it an auction to die for, as the Chinese observe their traditional Qing Ming festival honouring the dead.

A man in his late 20s in Jiaxing, a city near Shanghai, has attempted to sell his soul on Taobao, China’s top online auction site, attracting bids from some 58 soul-searching buyers before the posting was pulled.

"After some discussion, Taobao decided that they will allow the member to sell his soul on Taobao, but only if he can provide written permission from a 'higher authority'"
