maybe it's an offence under the Fair Trading Act (false representation) - but you would have to buy them first, & then prove (?) they didn't contain ghosts.

or should it come under the Sale of Goods act?

the goods are not fit for their purpose (hmm - if the purpose is to scam the gullible they do the job)

you told the seller what you wanted to use the goods for and relied on their knowledge but the goods don't do the job

the goods don't match the description

the seller did not have the right to sell the goods.

Perhaps you could complain that it's an illegal trade in body parts and therefor illegal under the human tissues act.

pAUL.

incredible.

have you seen the number of comments? the type of comments??

there is a star at the base of the advert- to report inappropriate behaviour to trademe. I have reported it as 'not within their contract' - it's not appropriate for trade me to list such things- whether a person believes in such spirits or not, either way it shouldn't be encouraged - just as exorcism shouldn't be.
