Selling your soul

In "Season of Mists", Neil Gaiman's Lucifer laments to Morpheus "I need no souls. And how can anyone own a soul?" A New Zealand man 24-year-old man sold a deed of ownership to his soul to Hell Pizza. There is no word on whether sacred mushrooms will be an available topping. In 2001, University of Washington student Adam Burtle tried to sell his soul on eBay (which was only worth $6.66 to his former girlfriend). So we've gone from the true essence of life to $3,800 as the price for a soul. Lucifer would be amused.
