Providence, RI- The original auction caused a stir among online bidders. Now, The popular modern day fairytale is back up for bidding.

The first real life fairytale ever offered for sale on EBay caused a buzz among online bidders last week, garnering over 30,000 hits and dozens of bids after just 6 days on the virtual auction block. The auction was closed early due to the seller's account being hacked, but the so-called authentic genie in a bottle is now back up at auction.

The seller of the genie in a bottle claims it is an authentic item purchased in India 25 years ago. The genie is set to appear in the year 2131, granting the customary three wishes to the lucky heir. The seller claims it is an investment in a family heirloom and a soon-to-be pop culture icon.

"This is a unique first in the world of online auctions." said the seller, who chooses to remain anonymous, "It really is a modern day fairy tale and an authentic item with a legend attached to it. It is the passing on of a legend applied in a modern setting, and people are very excited about it. I hope that with a full ten days left, the buzz will continue, and that the last night of bidding will be an exciting one.

An interesting study on the creation of pop culture curios, this whimsical item has captured the attention of online auction watchers all over the country. With a pancake featuring the image of Jesus reaching 15,000.00 and a haunted cane fetching over 60,00.00, one can only guess what a genie in a bottle may be worth in the strange world of online auctions.
