The US $12 shipping seems a bit stiff, don't you think?

The seller I notice gives no story of the finding of the cards - or how they know they are from Marie Laveau's garve site, what they were doing there, and if they were there, who placed them there? They could be from someones ritual that they placed there, or a message to her from someone - and the cards were found and taken? Who knows! Its not even sure if she is entombed there - only reportedly.

There are no returns on these cards either!
And the shipping cost for 5 cards - are they being sent seperately
$199!!! for 5 cards!!! Thats alot more dollars Australian.

Someone leave a message on that seller feedback site - wheres gregory

sooo.... let me get this straight:

Somebody organises with a friend to buy a deck, then to place five cards on that grave, so the the friend who knows this finds them there, and then decides to sell them at an exhorbitent price because they touched a grave?!?!?

It boggles the mind, does it not?

For further boggling, throw "haunted" into the search engine on e-bay...

Right here. What did you want, my loves ???

I mean - how unusual is Fergus Hall ?????

WHAT else is she selling ? I can't see anything

Oh - ed - the other one. I am not posting about that. I have had "discussions" with that cassica before on e-bay.
I think she hates me. That's OK by me

OOOOOOOH but I am reporting one of her listings.

a) selling tiger teeth is illegal
and

That's the same seller who sold a 'haunted deck' not so long ago and was discussed on the forum - for those of you who remember in her ebay ad that time she appeared dressed in spandex black lycra and was crawling all over the cards

She's apparently a 'genuine salem witch'.

I contacted her and told her I thought she was a con-artist and not a very good advocate of the witchcraft that I know and love.
She got very nasty and told me that if I didn't stop saying horrible things about her and her auctions that I'd find out 'just what a real witch could do'.
I thought this was most laughable and wrote back to tell her so (I also said she'd got me shaking in my boots).

Quite funny on one level but there are people out there who would be terrified by such threats from a 'real salem witch'
