As long as weird ebay items are bought by people at all, the weird postings won't end 😛 It's hard to believe that you can sell cheap stuff calling it haunted at a big markup though...People are so gullible 😊

This ring was given to my sister through inheritance and is believed by our family to be cursed and therefore the reason she has not been able to find true love. This is not a joke and should be taken quite seriously. This ring was owned by a popular Broadway Opera Singer of the early 1900's.

In an effort to explain the situation, I have included a little history below. We would like to rid our family forever of this ring and the cursed history it possesses.

The highest bidder will receive the following: The cursed ring, which is a diamond wedding band, as pictured below, a copy of the history of the ring, outlined below, and a copy of the Broadway Poster, also seen below.

THE HISTORY OF THE RING

The following is based on both fact and family history and is accurate to the best of our knowledge. It is the sad story of true love lost and a curse that haunts our family to this day.

As did many Lithuanians during the early 1900

This man, who was obviously deeply in love with Ona, proposed marriage on one fine spring day. Ona, caught completely off guard, was still young and also a very popular singer, so despite her deep love for this man, she turned down the proposal in order to pursue her career.

Good enough story, but if someone did believe in this sort of thing, why would they buy the ring? Presumably they would then be cursed "never be allowed to find their true love".

What about someone who already has met their true love?

Weird, but at least no buyers.

I want to put my drier up on eBay as 'haunted' as soon as it finally breaks - is this a good idea?

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Actually, there isn't much I wouldn't buy for a dollar. Just wish I had a Dollar! That would be something.

I find it funny that anything with a haunted lable on it busts it's own value

Thank you chary, m'dear.
😉

It's a good story, and surprisingly well written for the haunted ebay lot, but a few things...(you know me, I'm nitpicky)

Ona Leona, popular and young, became a Broadway star.
However, she's ungoogleable, as far as I can see.

Ona mastered several languages, including French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Lithuanian, Yiddish, and German.
Several including these? Wow.

Sam, my devoted husband,
