My eBay account got suspended.

I have not used eBay in awhile so I guess I don't know the proper protocol for someone outbidding you for a cursed doll. Cursed with either a violent curse or a child's soul. The seller didn't specify.

It is not proper etiquette to e-mail the person you were bidding against and ask them to sell it to you rather than use it for their BuzzFeed article. Or let them be aware that you were honestly hoping it had some soul trapped in it to give it to friends in the hope that it will come to life in the middle of the night to do whatever cursed dolls do.

Who knew. I thought we were both cursed doll enthusiasts.

Hello, CuteWillow996.
Congratulations on winning the three cursed doll set. You sniped and connived and allowed your greed to completely take hold of you. So yes, praise should be awarded to someone who had far more ambition than a person such as me who merely had an idle want. However, I believe that whatever BuzzFeed article that you are writing pales in comparison to what I am attempting to do with those dolls. So, let us make a trade -- monetary in nature. I will pay you whatever you like for those three.

The reason that I desire them is my wish to see if they are truly haunted, if they truly have spirits trapped within them. Is that spirit fractured? Is that why it is a set? What could tear apart a human's soul? Would the tortured screams be able to say? Who knows. It may all be a rouse and means for these little bidding wars between ourselves. All the same, I am curious.

So, while I admit that I lost, I cannot retire so easily. So, sell me the set.

Thank you.

As you can see, I should not have let my annoyance get the better of me.

[.........................................................................]

you know, I have to agree with you
that was honestly a pretty reasonable PM
I guess the article they were going to write, and the Ghost Quest gifs that were going to go with it were more important

[livingimpaired]

Do you?
Well, thank you.
And one assumes.
Still, I suppose I should have just sought out another set.

[ossifragant]

or, I guess you could wait and see if cutewillow sells the dolls because it turns out they're actually haunted and needs to get them out of the office ASASP
that might make an entertaining story

[livingimpaired]

Sadly, I am permanently banned from eBay so I will never know.

[ossifragant]

you could always make a new account with a different email

[....someone has experience.]

[livingimpaired]

A suggestion someone else gave.
Do they not track IP addresses?

[ossifragant]

they probably do, but that's what proxies are for

[livingimpaired]

My half-interest isn't enough to go that far.
I'll just search for a cursed doll in the city.

But thank you for the advice.
Should I ever be inspired, I'll go through such steps.

[ossifragant]

hey, no problem
it's not all that difficult

a proxy and a PO box, and you're all set

[livingimpaired]

How many times have you been banned?

[ossifragant]

four or five

but I don't do that sort of thing anymore

[He just shitposts about it on the internet, apparently.]

[livingimpaired]

I see.

Four or five times, hm? Unruly conduct, or what you were looking for?

[ossifragant]

what I was looking for, mostly
people aren't stupid enough to sell drugs on ebay, but luckily that's not what I was ever looking for

sometimes people obtain things they can't keep, and need to get rid of in a hurry
same thing's true with craigslist

[livingimpaired]

Of course, of course.

[ Mmhmm!! ]

Craigslist feels like I will be murdered.
While I don't know how death works now, I would not wish to be murdered for a cursed doll.
Unless it was because the doll caused it.

[ossifragant]

craigslist is definitely better if you have some buddies to go with you

what, you mean like a voodoo doll or something?

[livingimpaired]

I have no buddies that would intimidate a Craiglist seller.
I may be very tall, but I lack any sort of muscle.
A person can only be troubled by my height than worried.

No. I mean being so cursed that it kills anyone within its range.
But I wouldn't mind a voodoo doll for personal reasons.

[ossifragant]

those kind of dolls exist?

that sounds like the plot of a movie

[livingimpaired]

No idea.
One can only hope!

[ossifragant]

Hope that they exist, or hope that it's just a movie thing?

[livingimpaired]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[ossifragant]

sounds reasonable

[livingimpaired]

Either way, since this is a passing fancy, we'll see what comes from it.
