My Friend Sold Me His Soul! Now What?

As no-one is 100% sure if the soul exists I would strongly recommend that you give his soul back. You could be harming yourself and your friend. I understand that there is no proof of this either way but it's better to be safe than sorry. I urge you to speak with a religious leader of whatever church you attend and discuss this with him/her.

It can be used as a cheap source of electricity to power house-hold appliances (no kettles though).
Alternatively you can drop one of those bad-boys in your pool. It will keep the PH balanced and your water will be sparkleingly clear for years to come.

So, a week later believe it or not my friend began to date at a Clooney like pace and as the childish youth these days say "Score" multiple times at parties. It seems that I am now the proud owner of one soul, that is if theoretically souls actually exist.

The question is, is it because of something you did? If you enter a contract with you to, say, buy a car. A third party provides the car, did you actually deliver the services or did the third party deliver the services and therefore has claim to the payment? Unless you had a prior contract with the third party that they would provide the car and you would be getting the payment. But I can't imagine any third party just agreeing to that without expecting something in return...
And "date at a Clooney like pace" is a bit ambiguous. What exactly is the number of that pace? A quick count and I tally about 8 on/off relationships in about 25 years. That's not a particularly good deal if you ask me.
So, what exactly did you do from your side to ensure payment as agreed upon?
A young man's soul brought $400 on the Internet auction site eBay.
The bidding began at 5 cents Feb. 1 and concluded at 4:36 p.m. Thursday on the listing "20 yr-old Seattle boy's SOUL, hardly used," offered by Adam Burtle, a University of Washington student and part-time automotive technician from Woodinville, a tony suburb northeast of the city. For the auction listing, he displayed a picture of himself wearing an "I'm with stupid" T-shirt. "Please realize, I make no warranties as to the condition of the soul. As of now, it is near mint condition, with only minor scratches," he wrote. "Due to difficulties involved with removing my soul, the winning bidder will either have to settle for a night of yummy Thai food and cool indie flicks, or wait until my natural death." The bidding only took off in the last hour, when the price shot from $56 to $400. Burtle, an atheist, said a former girlfriend bid $6.66. "I was happy to be past $7.50," he said. Don't look for a similar offer anytime soon — at least on eBay, which has 22 million users and 6 million items up for bid at any given time. The listing was removed and Burtle has been suspended from the site.
