CatherineM Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Used to be you couldn't purchase US military medals. So collectors would "buy" a commemorative stamp to put on a package that you receive a "free" medal in. Luckily it is still illegal to buy a Medal of Honor.

dUSt Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I bought a first class relic off eBay once. It was suppose to be the finger of St Peter, but when I got it, it was an old mozzarella stick. Lesson learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VoTeckam Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 It is against ebays policy to sell body parts (organs for example) so I would imagine this would be covered under that policy... at least one would hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassan Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I think I have a first class relic of St John Vianney. If you're ever in G-Vegas or Chapel Hill you can have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'll think about it. If it were just mine I would no problem, but it was a gift, so I might feel kind of funny giving it away. Note I said "I think" though. I know it's a relic from St. John Vianney but am not sure what class it is. I have the latin document though. If you or someone else ould translate the latin and were still interested I'd consider sending it (it was a gift from the Vicar of my home Parish, which is why I'm not sure how I feel about giving it away yet).

Resurrexi Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 If you want to scan the Latin document and email it to me (if you don't still have my email I can give it to you) I'd be glad to translate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
