Intresting Ebay auctions

Oh, in the negative space. Thanks!

That's actually remarkably clear. Clear enough to wonder if it could have been faked, actually. Does anyone know what happend if you press a rose petal over a raised image?
 
I really don't get these things.

Now, let us assume that GOD (or some saint, angel, or whatever) really left a message in a petal, piece of toast, or something. That is what these people believe, right? What exactly is the purpose of BUYING the item? Not to mention paying an exorbitant prize for it. Shurely God (or whomever) placed that message where it belongs? Shurely God does not depend on e-bay auctions for distributing his messages??

So if you really believe in this stuff, why do you think it has a money value?

And if you don't believe ......?

Yeah, I can see it now, Its actually quite clear once you know what to look for.
 
I don't see the second one at all. And I have to reiterate what someone else said, this is an image of Mary and Jesus based on what photographic evidence in the first place?
 
I still can't see either and I now have a little headache from squinting and concentrating. I'm sure that's not what God intended.

Damn, that toasted cheese sandwich really put people's price expectations through the roof for this kind of stuff didn't it?

Now I have a dilemma, do I sell petals and sandwiches for a one-off quick cash injection, or go down the remote Reiki route which yields smaller returns, but can provide a continual income and I don't actually have to send anything.

Decisions, decisions...

These all look suspiciously like they are copied somehow (pressing from a raised image?) from existing pictures.

AHAHAHAHA!

God chooses to copy known artwork rather than create his own?

And He copies the Last Supper? Chinny reckon.

That whole site has some hilarious pictures . The luminous angel one is brilliant. I just can't understand what would explain that.
It's almost as though the camera gave out some kind of bright light when the photo was taken and it reflected of something angel shaped. But the text says there was no statue. In a church. So I guess we'll just have to take their word and accept it is amiracle. Despite the photographic evidence otherwise.

Ay carumba.

You need to spend more time looking for pictures in clouds with someone you care about. It's good practice.
 
I don't think the first one is at all remarkable, you can't even see the impression in the size-comparison picture with the nickel. I wouldn't be surprised if that image was just random...

It's a lot better if you think of the lower hand as being a foot instead. That way she appears to be short and wearing really clumpy boots :D

I don't want to be controversial, but that looks a lot more like one of Donald Duck's nephews (including the upturned peak on the baseball cap) than anything else, IMO.

Better not let Disney know, or they'll sue God for trademark infringement.
 
Ooo..lovely image of a long-haired woman kissing a small terrier dog. :D

Actually I believe this is rather easy to do. I can't find the reference but I seem remember some medieval pilgrimage sites doing this to produce souveniers.

I'll have to get a couple of rose petals, press some coins on to them and then dry them to actually test if this is as easily done as I suspect.

Inquiring dogs want to know!

Now I can see it.

$17,500.00? I don't think so. Maybe $16,925.00, but no more than that.

So, if these are created as some of us suspect they are (as is more than likely the case), does this not constitute fraud, as in grand larceny, as in theft by deception?

Wait a minute, I forgot about whom we are talking.

My bad...

US $17,500.00 for a decaying rose petal. I cannot actually see an image in this.

You know, it actually costs money to post ads on ebay - based on the starting bid you set. I forget the percentage, but posting something for $17,500.00 would cost the seller. I guess the hope is that if they make it expensive enough it will seem more "legit" or important and more likely to attract someone to buy it...
