if you're ok with not having a soul, then feel free to send it over!

50p is waiting for you!

Greedoniz - i shall happily pay a pound for such a dark and wicked soul such as yours... put some ashes in a sherbert dab-bag and i'll buy you a pint!

But if I don't have a soul in the first place then how can I send it over???

My slippers are now quite holy.

You can have both of their soles for 50p each.

Pete

I'm really protective over mine. I'll accept 50p, but I don't want it falling into the wrong hands.

If you pay for an armed courier to escort it to you, it's all yours.

Ah! Souls.....

(well, somebody had to say it... )

Isn't the point of selling your soul that you get some material goods in return that you covet, only to "learn you lesson" in the long run that temporary happiness cannot compare to eternal paradise? That's the fable, at least...

So 50p is a bit of a rubbish offer in your experiment.

Any agreement to buy or sell a soul is not enforceable (not under UK law anyway). Really. In order to be a legal agreement items or services (or whatever) being exchanged must have recognisable value.

It's an interesting thought though. Depending on what you want to define as 'a soul', since it wouldn't appear to confer any particular rights or advantages on Iain, nor deprive myself of them I wouldn't have any problem with selling my soul...if I thought it existed. Since I don't then - in all conscience - I can't.

i've already got two signed up to sign their soul over to me...

I'm not a devil nor a god - im just offering a shiny 50p to anyone who wishes to sign over theirs to me...im making my own rules up...

My point exactly!

I couldn't possibly value my soul at any less than I value my body... is a tenner alright with you?

More seriously, I wouldn't ever sell my soul - not for what it would mean to me (nothing, as it happens)... but for what it might mean to them.

IAIN wrote:Here's one for all you atheists out there...

would you sell me your soul for a nominal fee please?

i am willing to paypal any of you who wish to send me a small sheet of paper with the following on it:

"I hereby hand over my soul to you, Iain Dunford."

then your signature and your name printed in capitals...

i will paypal you fifty pence for your non-existent soul, or happily donate it to a charity of your chosing.

Any takers?

50p, eh?

When an approach is unsolicited, it's always worth assuming that the goods are worth more to the would-be buyer than he's letting on, ergo it's a seller's market. The best thing would be to make a counter offer and find a mutually agreeable average.

So, 50p for the rights to such a finely wrought soul with only one previous owner? Are you mad? I might be persuaded for £100 million and Selina Scott's home phone number. Make me an offer.

a pound - and a cuddle on thursday?!

I got a pound for mine but not a cuddle

I wasted my soul


Ooo I wonder how much James Brown (the godfather of soul) would get for his Funky *ss soul. For it was Truely Super Bad

i believe chuck berry put in a last minute bid on james brown's soul...

he wants the "other" james brown's soul now too...

make it a couple of Vodka and Cokes and you've got yourself a deal

A pound of flesh and you make sure you shave that beard off before the cuddle or no deal!

Your go.
