HOBART, Ind., Dec. 5 (UPI) -- An Indiana boy has reportedly convinced his mother to put his grandfather's ghost up for sale on eBay so the ghost wouldn't come back to haunt him.

Six-year-old Collin Anderson's grandfather died in the boy's home.

Collin's mother, Mary Anderson, told the Indianapolis Star the ghost is being auctioned along with Collin's grandfather's cane.

There's one catch: whoever wins the bidding war must send Collin a letter letting him know they have received both items - the cane and the ghost.

Grandpa's ghost and cane have so far drawn more than 30 bids and a top offer of $78.

Bidders have posted a variety of messages about the unusual auction item.

"I have had ghosts go bad before and haven't had a warranty. I don't want to deal with another bad ghost. Thanks. Will you ship to Canada?" asked one skeptical bidder.

Collin, who is named after his now-ghostly grandfather, will get to spend the proceeds, the Star said.
