A man is attempting to sell a painting he claims is ‘cursed’ on eBay for just $50 (£37) and claims it has ruined his life.

Of course, that’s probably not the greatest sales pitch you’ve ever heard, but that doesn’t mean that some strange person won’t go out there and snap it up.

Dan Smith – not his real name – calls himself a ‘collector of weird things’ and says he purchased the painting at a flea market from a woman who even warned him that the painting was bad news.
