If you could sell your soul...

[s0nystyle]

What would you trade for it? I'd like to become a planet like mercury or somthing and go PEW PEW around the sun

 

[WeAreTheStrange]

id like to become the sun and then engulf you in my flames

 

[y4r5xeym5]

id like to become the sun and then engulf you in my flames

That's hot.

I'd say the universe, so that everyone could be inside of me

uhh... damn...

 

[Fukyo]

Soul... what soul?

 

[Cavallier]

The only problem I have with selling my soul for something is that I'm still not entirely sure what my soul does for me. If it's like the appendix then I'd sell it for a sandwich. If only I could figure that out. :/

 

[Anthile]

inb4 'That's what she said'

 

[420MuNkEy]

Omnipotence.

 

[ashitaria]

To be invincible and immortal.

 

[Chimera]

Magic. Then I'd figure out how to get my soul back. :] ​

 

[s0nystyle]

How F-ish of you P:

I'd simply request two souls. Then I'd sell one for two again and so forth. In the end, I had my own soul company and push my competitors, god and the devil, out of the market and I will have a soul monopoly. Capitalism will rule all of existence once again! Mwahaha!

can i borrow one after i sell mine? ** *nudge nudge*

 

[KazeCraven]

I'd sell it for truth about life, the universe, and everything.

But I'm picky about who I'd sell my soul to.

 

[Jesin]

The only problem I have with selling my soul for something is that I'm still not entirely sure what my soul does for me.

^ This.

I suspect it would include whatever I use to experience and enjoy things, so I certainly wouldn't sell it for frivolous enjoyment as the first three posts. (If I couldn't enjoy the experience, what would be the point?) I might rent it out, though, I dunno.

 

[Chimera]

How F-ish of you P:

How bird of you. :]
Oh. I guess that doesn't say "fish"...​

 

[TheHmmmm]

two souls.

EDIT: Dammit Anthile, beat me to the punch.

 

[Cognisant]

To "sell one's soul" is generally considered a transaction in loyalty, so if someone owns your soul they effectively own you, which is not to say you're their slave, the difference being that slavery isn't consenting, soul-selling is.

If you could sell your soul...

Nothing, which is unfair in a really twisted way, because if I gain nothing then there's nothing stopping me from taking my figurative soul back, the buyer gains my loyalty only insofar as I choose to give it, so in effect I gain the opportunity to betray the buyer at whim and the buyer gains nothing other than the privilege of requesting my loyalty.
...
A shrewd buyer would say I don't have a soul to sell.

 

[IssphitiKOzS]

I'd sell my soul for fame and fortune. Only to have my disappointed fans complain that I souled out.

But anyway, if I had to sell my soul it would be for peace of mind.

 

[Dormouse]

Unconditional immortality, because as I understand the soul market the buyer only gains possession of it once the seller is dead.

 

[420MuNkEy]

Unconditional immortality, because as I understand the soul market the buyer only gains possession of it once the seller is dead.

Would you really desire this? What if you were to become trapped in a secluded location in such a way that you were continuously being caused pain. After a while of being trapped, you would also become parched and ravenous without access to food or water.

Also, what if you just get bored with life? Or what happens when the sun dies? You float around in the freezing vacuum of space, hungry, thirsty, lonely and helpless for the rest of eternity? That doesn't sound like fun to me.

 

[warryer]

What do I need to know how to do to be in the market to buy souls?... I make a pretty good roast beef sandwich.

 

[trisomination]

I think I would sell my soul for 101 wishes. With the 101th wish, if I find it necessary, I would wish for my soul. If not, I would wish something really creepy :smiley_emoticons_mr

badum pum pshhh

 

[WorkInProgress]

Maybe I could work out a soul rental deal. Annually the buyer will appear to me and I, in health of mind, have to honestly describe myself as content. It's the buyers job to make sure I stay that way, because my soul belongs to him or her for as many years as I've lived a happy life (starting the year the deal is made). If I'm unhappy for a year the deal is still on for the following year, but it won't count toward my soul years. I'm sure the buyer will be busy with other deals and I don't want to be watched 24/7, so I'm thinking I'll just give he/she a call when I start feeling down.

As mutually beneficial as you can get, I think. Though I'd be willing to bet the soul collectors give all the worst jobs to the temps

 

[s0nystyle]

Ok, just in case anyone was wondering a soul is

SOUL: Enchantment. Added 50 IQ to said creature. If said creature loses soul, remove 50+25 IQ from said creature. k done. we happy now?

 

[Jesin]

Oh, now look what you've done.

Now we have to have another one of those discussions about the extent to which IQ means anything about actual intelligence.

 

[Jah]

Omniscience, immortality and a body that can regenerate itself completely into an overall healthy state.

 

[Mary]

Nothing.
I'm fine the way I am and don't need those messy soul-situations.

 

[jameslikespie]

I'd sell it to become some all powerful deity that can do absolutely anything you'd ever wanted to do. (I'm an Atheist, just pointing that out).

 

[Cognisant]

Ladies and gentlemen have I got news for you, for the low price of $5 I can dryclean your soul to pure white innocent perfection, don't wait, act now, and enjoy getting corrupted all over again.

You know you want to

I wanted to post this. :P

I'd sell my soul for filling the invisible man's that everybody seems to believe in position. Then I'd be all-powerful and almighty and could call in an alien ship!

P.S.On the other hand, filling the red guy's in Earth's core position would be a fair trade too... He seems to be more powerful.

Soul Economics

I don't know what my soul is worth. What properties of a soul increase its use value? What are souls used for by those in the market for them? These questions are integral to understanding what we could expect to get for our souls if we were to sell them, before we all go around saying, "Ooh, I'd sell my soul for immortality or omnipotence or to be the universe!" What if the market value of your soul is $0.99? Then you'd be lucky if the soul-traders offered you a button for it. Or really unlucky if you were Amish.
