sell crypt on ebay?

is ebay appropriate for this?

A close friend in selling an above ground crypt.  New, not used, (smile)!  Its in a mausoleum, so its not portable.  I have never been to ebay.  Is ebay an appropriate and viable venue in which to auction off this crypt?  Advice?

 

Thank you all.  -elana

can't see why not. I mean one bloke sold his virginity on Ebay and another sold a half eaten ham sandwhich. If you can get away with selling that a crypt seems tame in comparison :)

Sure. You can sell it, but I'd suggest listing it on Craig's list locally, also letting the local churches, synagogues and Funeral Homes know it's on the market - they might not give as good a price, but you never know.

There's probably someone out there just dying to buy it.  X|

You can sell anything that's not illegal on ebay. I have been both a seller and buyer, with good results. I've never used Craigs list, but I've heard a lot of bad stuff. Its like

the wild west version of ebay.

the only thing I've seen refused on ebay is children... people have put their kids on ebay in jest when fed up with them and found the authorities do not share their sense of humour...at least I hope all of them were in jest...  :|

Ebay also removes posts of people trying to sell their souls. Random trivia brought to you by Heavenfall.

syd...no such thing as flu for 4 weeks.

P'raps you should hazard to a visit your Doctor...and a course of antibiotics for a probable post flu bacterial lung infection if only to avoid...the coffin. ;)

 

Hope you feel better soon, syd. :)

No, you need Craig's list for that. ;)

Appreciate comments, experience so far: Been on craigslist for 2 months...  funeral homes say 'no, we don't list those sorts of things, yada (even offering them a percentage!).'  Shuls, churches, ummm will pursue this idea.  Thanks!

I dunno we can, I think we may have lost the plot.

Another friend of mine keeps getting facial spasms when he visits his family crypt.... his doctor told him it's a rare crypt tic.

Then there was the bloke who was knocked unconscious at the cemetery... was apparently hit by a headstone

And another friend of mine was a grave digger... his name is Doug.

Hey Elana...dunno if I mentioned trying synagogues too...say that it's a matzohleum.  XD

Hey Seth, when I visit a matzohleum, am I committing an encrypted mitzvot?

No, because we are supposed to be interred in the earth...not above it. The poskim are divided on this...so the din is cryptic, at best.

Which reminds me of the senseless grave robber.... said the smell didn't bother him and made no bones whatsoever about digging up cadavers to exhume a buried buck.

Finally, I understand why he was sent to live out his days among kangaroos, and creatures so lethal you die if you look at a place their shadows once were.

The only reason he became a pirate was so he could dig up dinosaur crap masquerading as buried treasure.
