DRIPPING SPRINGS -- Carrie Crain's soul is for sale on eBay and the starting bid is $1,000.
"Whoever bids on my soul, they need to take it seriously," she said. "I hope I transfer all my good, positive energy to them, and they will do great things. That's what I hope … transfer my creativity to them," she said.
That creativity is what got 33-year-old Crain to this point. She's working on a screenplay about a woman who sells her soul on eBay, too.
"I decided to really get into the heroine's mind. I had to do it," Crain said.
Crain calls it research, but her husband, Garry, calls it a little nuts.
"I don't know if she wrote a murder we'd get the gun out and shoot somebody, which of course would never happen," he said.
Garry is used to his wife's originality and he'll help her with the technical stuff.
"Transferring title may be difficult," he said.
Crain has that and plenty of other difficult questions to answer, like will she get a new soul? Is there a warranty? And what's her return policy? Those inquiries sit in her e-mail box.

Despite the talk, no one has yet put down a bid.
"Maybe they're waiting until the last minute," Crain said.
Bidding for Crain's soul ends Wednesday. The winning bidder will receive Crain's soul inside a Magic 8 Ball she's had since fifth grade. They'll also get a certificate of spiritual authenticity.
