There's some weird stuff up for sale on Ebay nowadays. Check out this link to someone selling copies of the FBI's files on Vincent Price.

You're damn right Alfonso
There really is some wierd stuff available at Ebay.
I've been a big Vincent Price fan for more years than I care to mention but nothing could get me into buying something like that.

The Vincent Price FBI file is available for free on the web. There's a site (the name escapes me) that has many FBI files concerning celebrities. Try a search on Google using Vincent Price and FBI as key words. There's nothing in there that wasn't covered in his daughter's book anyway!
Cheers!

After giving my sage wisdom about how to find the FBI/Price file on the web, I decided I'd better try it again for myself. It wasn't as easy this time!
With my son's help, here's the site where you can read/download the actual file:

Well, that is certainly an odd thing. Possibly more bizarre than that medical certificate that was up on eBay last year that purported to be of Mr. Lee's insurance exam for a film role. Who gets this stuff? Better yet, who sees this stuff and can instantly hear a cash register chime? Mind you, even more strange are th folks bidding, but that is a whole different sort of odd.
Suddenly I have visions of office clerks in all sorts of private fields of endeavor busily rifling the files in the office looking for any celeb related materials. What next? The vaccination records for Lassie? Gimme a break. Bizarre old world...

Poor Vincent, but knowing everything I ever read about this gentle man, Im sure he got a giggle from the whole FBI/Ebay affair from beyond.

I'm glad to see the auction closed on this item and no one bid on it. As is well known, during the 1950s and '60s the FBI was out-of-control and ruined the lives of many people who committed no crime other than having political views or personal tastes that ran afoul of J. Edgar Hoover. Even though these are now 'public' documents, I'm happy that the individuals who put them up for sale lost out in this particular case.
These are the REAL vampires: Trying to profit off someone's private life and personal problems.

Even worse are those who sell copies of celebrities' death certificates. Again, Vincent Price is an example.
In an attempt to undermine those ghouls, I put a copy on my VP website! :1devil:
