This guy deserves props for his marketing, but to think it's anything else than his active imagination is retarded. The previous auction for the doll, which did not sell, shows his propensity to market it visually with the placement of a devil doll. It's obvious the second ad is simply a more refined technique from the same mind.

Also the "white eye" is badly photochopped, with the superimposed image violating the eye and passing into the covering "flesh." If he took a minute more it could have been done better- assuming he knows how to use it even on a basic level..

The voice in the tape sounds more like it says "sucker" than it does anything else. ;)

You guys are a bunch of pussies. You're seriously afraid of a stupid peice of cloth and ceramic sitting thousands of miles away?

Technically it's a gaggle of pussies, I think.

The fact that so many here are genuinely scared of a plastic doll and a painting is way more disturbing than those two put together. There's absolutely nothing scary about this doll, it's cloth and plastic, end of story. I would have no problem with the "haunted" painting hanging on my bedroom wall and the doll sitting right below it, along with any other "haunted" thing you can come up with.

Stop being so damn superstitious :D

What's real interesting is that there's another power seller buying this item. I mean, is there something that we don't know or is the new owner going to come up w/ an even better story?

Maybe it's revenge for a non-payment.:evil:
