Man Selling 'Cursed' Painting On eBay For £37 Claims It Has Ruined His Life.

Of course, that's probably not the best sales presentation you've ever heard, but that doesn't rule out the possibility that some unusual individual may buy it.

Dan Smith – not his actual name – describes himself as a "collector of strange things" and claims to have bought the picture from a woman who told him that it was bad luck at a flea market.

He ignored her advice and purchased it anyway.

Take a look at it; it's not even an excellent piece of artwork.

Dan now considers his decision to be an "inevitably horrible judgment," and thinks the artwork has harmed his life.

He claims that the image of the two horrific dolls first reminded him of 'rebirth,' but that he now feels it 'just signals the end of things.'

If it doesn't persuade you, perhaps his eBay description will.

It won't, to be honest.

It reads: "BEWARE CURSED Vintage Painting Dolls Art Creepy Eerie WARNING 1967.

"The woman at the flea market warned me before buying this and I will warn you – no good can come from this painting. I didn’t think much of it at the time and just assumed she was one of those oddball dealers hawking their wares for cheap."

"As for the painting, it looked adorable, with two innocent-seeming dolls portrayed in it… but she was right - don’t be deceived."

"I don’t know whose cursed blood was mixed in with the paint to create this piece, but its powers are strong."

He claims that after bringing the picture into his home, he went on an 'epic losing streak,' which included lack of sleep, discovering an insect infestation, and the death of his favorite hamster, who had been in 'excellent health' before.

Dan claims he's been struck by 'sickness, loneliness, insomnia, and anxiety,' and feels his only option is to sell the scary picture.

His description continues: "Something has to change and because the only difference in my life since everything grew so dark around me was buying that painting, I feel the only remedy to all of this is to rid myself of it."

"But why pass it on and continue such a terrible legacy you ask?"

“Why not destroy it you wonder? Well sure, setting the painting on fire could rid the world of the wickedness brought about by the piece, but it could just as easily unleash the evil."

"Who’s to say that by burning it I’m not just going to make things ten times worse?"

“No, I don’t want to risk that, I’d rather sell it to some poor soul who doesn’t believe this story, or, even scarier, some brave soul who does.

"For the details on the piece - it comes with the frame, it is dusty since I never got around to cleaning it off after hanging it.”

It concludes: "As for that artist, it is signed with the initials MNP 3-67. Of course, that could also just stand for something like 'Many Nightmares & Phobias,' which is what the artwork leads to."

"I'm starting the auction at $50, which is what I paid for it but am hoping it goes for more to make up for everything I've been through. But before you bid... you've been warned!”

Someone will purchase it, I'm sure.

That is something you can be certain of.
