I am auctioning off my soul in exchange for more liquid assets; see the link for details. The auction will run for 1 week.

Could you set up a shared ownership arrangement (soul-sharing?) whereby purchasers get exclusive use of your soul for a particular time-slice? This is the standard solution for selling shares in indivisible items (like houses, business jets, etc.).Jun 7, 2013
One probably could, but I'm worried such arrangements have no non-earthly counterparts: we can adduce many instances of sole proprietorship in souls, but I am aware of no such partnerships.Jun 7, 2013
Are you running a self-experiment to see if there's any discernible difference between you with a soul and you without a soul? :PJun 7, 2013
If it is a self-experiment, it's a piss poor one. No blinding. No repeatability. If he were really interested in seeing if there was a difference with or without a soul, he wouldn't be selling it; he'd be loaning. Moreover, he'd set up the loan so that during the period of the loan the renter would be obligated to flip a coin, and if the coin landed heads, he'd be able to borrow the soul.Jun 7, 2013
