The Gen-Xer first offered his soul on eBay but after a few days, the site pulled his auction.
Wright isn’t the first person to attempt to auction his soul over eBay – but he may be the first person to have a successful sale.
People magazine reported last year that 20-year-old Adam Burtle had tried selling his soul. By the time eBay officials removed the offering, it was up for $400.
"It all started when I was selling normal stuff like a computer monitor and mouse," Wright said. "You start listing one thing and then you look around your house and say, ‘Well, what else could I sell?’"
Undaunted by eBay’s decision to pull the auction, the advertising agency Web designer moved it to Yahoo. He said selling his soul was also a way to get publicity for his online magazine, Monkeycube.com.
The auction ended and the highest bid was for a paltry $31.
The buyer will get a tiny jar that may or may not have contained fudge but now, Wright says, has his soul.
"Shameless self-promotion, or humorous commentary on Internet culture? That’s for you to decide," said Wright.
