Quote:Following the new wave of slightly weird auctions from EBay, a "Cursed" photograph has been listed for sale by a Minnesota woman. The auction shares her story of unfortunate events that seemingly follow her family wherever they go. The listing also states that the she has a desire to become a professional photographer and that the photograph for sale was taken by her personally. The photograph is offered up for a rather exorbitant sum, which may discourage potential bidders.
When asked why she chose put such a high value on her photograph, the seller said, "I couldn't just list it for $10 bucks and hope that I could sell a couple prints. This is very important to my family, because we might end up losing our home. I had to do something a little crazy I guess."
