Hi all,
I've known about SR for a while now, but never needed to buy any items of these ::ahem:: types online since I'm pretty well hooked up IRL. Also I can't imagine knowing something like these items is being shipped to me. I'm totally too paranoid lol.
I am here because many years ago some of Timothy Leary's ashes passed through my hands, and I thought it a good idea to make a backroom deal that allowed me to keep some for myself. Just a small amount, ironically enough to fit into a small vial one would purchase at a headshop for powders.
I can definitively prove that I had direct contact with his ashes if there is a serious buyer who has the serious cash this unique item is worth. The right price will get your proof, since I'm pretty sure there is no law where I am that would make what I'm trying to do illegal. I just prefer to keep this quiet and out of my public life.
Is SR a good place for a sale like this? Not sure if it is too specific of an item. Also it turns out that many kids these days don't even know who Timothy Leary was :o.
Anyway before the accusations start, I am not trying to sell this right here and now. Before I invest time trying to list it, thought I'd ask the SR community if my item jives or not, and if not maybe someone could point me in the right direction. Also I believe escrow safeguards the buyer and the seller, and since this transaction is legal we can even use a commercial escrow firm.
So, what do you guys think?
Thanks,
Mr uP.

Any interest at all?

wow fuck yeah am very interested..........if it's really TL then I reckon I might be able to resell at some point for megabucks to a collector or something.
what sort of price were you thinking? do you have any other ashes going, or know of anyone who has?

Yes, I assure you these really are some of his ashes [and will prove it to the buyer]. I was kind of hoping I could get the megabucks though ;).

I don't have any other ashes, but of course now I'm thinking if I know anyone else who would... Don't think so for now.
For price I really have no idea, but there would definitely need to be at least 1 comma in the figure. This is pretty much a once in a lifetime product.
Thanks for your interest,
Mr uP.

Any nails from the One True Cross while we're talking relics?

wasn't his ashes launched into space ? or am I confused on this
-
now now Zen Garden, let's not push the boundaries of credibility eh ;)
OP - I do actually think you are onto something big here. Maybe DPR could sort us out a special section of the site to deal in drug hero's ashes even.
How much for a whifter of Tim then?

Some of his ashes were, yes. He was actually divided up a bit, some being given to relatives and friends, and some being given to projects like the Pegasus rocket that carried his and other ashes to space.
