The Chicago Sun-Times reported in March that a DePaul graduate student had auctioned off his soul on eBay for $504. In the market for a new soul himself after losing an ill-advised wager made with a “new friend” while watching football at his buddy Faust’s place, The Closer scoured eBay looking for a locally available replacement. No luck, but he did find a small trove of Chicago curiosities that just might tide him over for eternity.

Have a Pig Named After Your Boss, Friend, Coworker If you win this auction, you can name a pig anything you want. (Our choice: Hamlet.) If you name it after someone, the Yorkville pig farmer will e-mail the lucky eponym the pig’s birth date, description, and photo. Sadly, in the post–customer service era, “if you would like a plaque or other photo display there will be an added charge.” Item #5675000968

University Barbie Northwestern Cheerleader Not many people remember that in Barbie’s occupationally nomadic career, she spent a stint cheering for Wildcat athletics, shortly after stumbling through her core requirements (“Math is hard”). This Barbie is great for little Wildkittens who love make-believe, fantasizing about dates with the hunky quarterback and bowl wins. Item #5673595787
