A musician, who claims that he's sick of his life, was prevented on 15th of December 2008 by the site administrators of E-bay to sell his soul. Dante Knoxx, 24 years old, has brought his soul for sale on this site, the auction started from the sum of 30,000 euros. The young man's soul worth that day not less than 780,000 euros, but now Knoxx can't sell it anymore, because the site's administrators have blocked his ad. According to the rules of E-bay, this site can sell only "natural objects".
"I have been refunded but I had 200 people watching it, I'm really disappointed by that. "I had lots of emails asking if I was serious and religious groups telling me I couldn't do that, others wanted to talk about my soul.
"I had a lot of interest but no actual bidders which is a real shame." The Arts Institute graduate decided to try to sell his soul after a lack of creative jobs in his home town of Bournemouth, Dorset.
"I'm a highly creative person, but creativity is not without its drawbacks," he mentioned in the listing.
Mr Knoxx was having in mind to use the money to get his experimental music group, Paradigm, which he created with his friend Zakk Altair, up and running.
The auction included a legal contract entitling the new soul's owner to a percentage of Mr Knoxx's income for the rest of his life, with a guaranteed minimum of 1,000 euros per year.
Another clause in the contract entitled the owner to 10% of any intellectual works of Paradigm.
He also pledged to write a full account of the soul's life within three years and the owner of his soul would also be entitled to 10% of his estate in his will.
Other clauses in the contract included sending the owner an annual report of his soul, and a birthday card on Mr Knoxx's birthday, as well as a promise to plant three trees a year.
A final clause also stated Mr Knoxx could buy back his soul for 100,000,000 euros.
