Topic: why do these things always sell, and secondly, are they really haunted, and three how do I find out whether or not anything happens to the winner?
I cant believe there are 56 bids on this thing?! I dont want to say anything nasty about it, this bear may sense evil thoughts. But it is scary looking.
lol. How do they know the bear is the source of evil? They may be living on an old Indian graveyard!?Quote:
All I know is that I want this damned thing out of my house. Something is dreadfully wrong with this bear. I never used to believe in powers of darkness, but now I do. If you are willing to buy it, please let me know. I take no responsibility for what may happen afterwards and for god's sake don't keep it anywhere near children. The lingering presence is still in my house to some extent and I need to get the source out.
Scariest thing. Ever.
I'd buy it.
This guy is a genius.
He's obviously a writer. What a wonderful $810 story.
that thing does not look scary!! its a bear, they must of done something to that picture! i mean, why would they photograph a bear, unless they were going to alter it and make it look scary then sell it for $820! and they said they really wanted it out, if you really wanted to get rid of i, wouldn't you sell it for something cheap?
but then again, if it were only about $10 i'd buy it.
It should be noted that he listed it for $2.00.
If you do not bid for this item and link the page to 20 people in the next 24 hours, the bear will COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND EAT YOUR CHILDREN.
I was going to do that anyway though.Quote:

There below me on the steps was Baron slowly walking up on two legs, one of my kitchen knives in his paws, scraps of other animals hanging off him. I yelled at the top of my lungs and shut the door, but it bounced back open.
mock if we will, but the little tell-tale is on his way to a thousand dollars!!!!! i think its a genuis idea........wiah i had thought of it first :( of course if it really was demonic....you ould give it to a preist to dispose of.
that story put me in mind of the halloween episode of the simpsons where the krusy doll come alive and tries to kill homer...lol

The bear scary me :(
This man is a genious. And that's genious with a "J."
Seriously, it's very simple to dupe stupid people into wasting their money (in this case, $800 some dollars) on common items. Someone sold a half eaten sandwich on eBay for close to $10 or something. This proves that there is a market for everything. Even haunted demonic bears.
Zorander should've said the EoFF napkin was haunted when he sold it on eBay.
My light bulb just blew!! I read the whole thing, I nearly pissed myself from the bulb incident!
Argh! My stupid computer won't load the pic of the bear. It's ticking me off, I want to see how the bear looks.
well atleast he had the decency to inform us of it's ahem 'past'. Well everyone selling stuff on ebay is obliged to do so anyway.
Bears are scary, not to mention the one from the Shining
I want to buy it!
I wonder how much a "haunted" stuffed Polar Bear would fetch. I may have to get into this lucrative business.
Oh, and that could SO be turned into the script for an actual horror movie. Not a particularly good one, but one nonetheless.
EDIT: Listening to this makes it much more fun to read, in my opinion.
holy [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] that stuff freaks me out!!!!!!! im so nervous now

Q: You should send the bear to Chuck Norris, He'll know what to do. Or maybe you could send it to some orphans, that'd be awesome.
A: Chuck Norris pees sitting down in the presence of Baron.
After reading his entire story, it sounds as if this man has been watching a little movie from the 70's called The Devil's Gift.
Also, if the bear is as evil and bloodthristy as he suggests, then why make a hilarious myspace account for it? He also seemed to have a pretty genuine sense of humor about the whole situation in his QnA thing on the ebay page. If a stuffed animal wanted my blood on it's hands, I would not be making light of it. I'd be institutionalizing myself.
Thats scary and for some reason I believe it. If I had someone I hated I would send it to them :D
I have so many people to hate, I'd have a hard time choosing who to send it to. So I think I'd have to put it in a blender and send them each a piece/pieces
That's a unique way for writers to get their name recognized. That was a good story.
I laughed. Does that mean my computer's going to go screwy?
I also made this post sarcastically, so does that mean it'll come and kill me? o.o;
Some of that is actually well written, and could make a fairly creepy novel. An 800 dollar novel? No.
Then again, if I could buy a replica of Christine from Stephen King I'd pay alot.
Yes.Quote:

I'm sure it's not only Americans.
In any case, I lol'd at the story. That guy's making a nice chunk of change for a ratty old bear, more power to him. It's like the lady that sold a bowl of Apple Jacks for like $1.2k USD, before the superbowl because it supposedly had the Eagles helmet emblem in it.
I don't think this is a situation where many people are trying to buy the bear because they feel it's haunted, they're probably buying it to say "You remember that haunted bear guy on eBay a couple years back? Well..."
Wtf? It say the item was removed now...Maybe Baron did it...
Rofl. Did you guys read the myspace about the bear? Something about if you don't register at a certain place or make a bid, baron will come cut your legs off when you sleep xD; pretty good way to play with peoples minds and make them bid or something.
Why the hell would ebay remove such a thing? Anyway the ROFL waffles were 190x better then this!
Baron is out to get us all now, he had to deal with the auction first, now he'll slowly come after each and every one of us :O
Maybe cause I laughed at this he'll cut my legs off!
It's been reposted now.

Thats what I thought, specially the part about gift wrapping it?!Quote:

rofl.. watch that guy get banned or something:D
Wonder why it was removed and then set back up again. Plus the pics are dumb, specially the one that happened to be taken in the dark?!
Creepy..................I'm going away never to return
They set it up all over again cause now the bid is 51 dollars not 81 like before. But this guy mu be bluffling cause the title says:
Very fake to me...Quote:
Large Stuffed Bear - supposedly Haunted, very Famous!
Yeah, I think someone may have stepped in and got the title altered.
Thanks it calmed me down...not much.
Probably..Quote:

Teh bad bear is no more.
I slept badly too! It was that bear I think! I woke up with a neck ache. Im afraid now..Quote:

Its just a bear.. thats like being afraid of chucky... which is actually more than a comedy than a horror movie imo.
Besides, maybe the guy took it down himself, he was probably like "Wow 800.00 , wonder if I put the title as he's famous i can get over 1 grand"
Basically, he made it famous, now he'll attempt to get more out of it.
Chuckys always scared me. I would have personally left it up and not altered it. Wonder if he makes more this time?Quote:

The auction only had like 20 something hours before I went to sleep, he probably didn't want it to end and then get stuck with "only" $800.00.
Chucky has always scared me too.Quote:

Dont even say that, Im only scared of Chucky and thats it. All other scary movies are hilarious to me but not Chucky.Quote:

As for the auction being pulled, this doesn't surprise me. I like the re-listed title.
This reminds me of an auction that I saw around the time the XBOX 360 was released. Someone put a "box" up for auction. Of course, no one read the entire description of the "box," and they were disappointed to discover that the "box" in question was an ACTUAL box. And, as the user himself said in the item description, "this isn't even the official 360 packaging! It's a box I made myself, just 5 minutes ago!" The ending bid was close to $600.
But back to Baron, I think the guy is funny. Someone that was bidding on the item or someone that knew what this guy was up to probably reported it to eBay.
Chucky has always been scary cause its a doll. The last thing you suspect ti be evil is something you have close to you. Anyhoo, he said that Ebay removed it, but he has placed it back on auction claiming he has broken no rules and will only tell the final chapter of Baron after the bear has been sold. The bear is now famous according to him.
Wasn't supposed to be offensive, however, it is a true fact that most girls would be afraid of a horror film more than a guy would, so there isn't really anything offensive about it. Being afraid of chucky and not something more "real" ? Quite strange, considering chucky flys through the air like "arghhhhh get over here!" then the girl being chased "ahhhh*trips on a cabinet and falls on my ass* ohh noooo my ankle! noooo don't stab me!!!"Quote:

Well yeah your very right :) Im sorry if I was being mean. But its just his face and knowing that a doll could do that in a movie that scares me really.
There's an episode of the Twilight Zone where the doll of a little girl says to the little girl's father, "you'd better be nice to me. Or I'll kill you."Quote:

Lol poor baron, poor guy xD I'd be mad if I was about to make $800.00 on a bear and then the company closes my bidding like a few hours before its done.
I really need to go through my old toys.
OMG I made fun of the bear and then my power was out for over 12 hours!!! :surprised
We're all doomed! DOOMED!
Baron actually made my day.
There's nothing there....
Thats why.Quote:
EDIT : eBay has removed Baron AGAIN.
About once a year a post gets made here in GC about a haunted stuffed animal getting sold on E-bay. I wonder if it's always the same seller?
Its been relisted again for the third time:

Seller says that if it is closed again by Ebay, it will be sold again as:

Hah, this is getting funnier. Couldn't he prosecute eBay if they're incorrectly removing his item? I'd like to see Baron in court. :D
