That editor had a nightmare where a female devil was giving these out en masse. In a twist, while she always made sure the result was up to specifications, she'd consider it an agreement even if you were only tempted by the offer. Meaning you could say no, and she'd take your soul and give you what you wanted anyway "because you were thinking 'yes.'"

Was she hot? On a related note, This Troper has detailed plans if he is offered such a deal that involve him getting what he wants, but ''not'' getting screwed, hopefully. (Think GrimGrimoire.)

She was reasonably pretty, though at the time I was more worried about "HOLYCRAPIJUSTLOSTMYSOUL!"

You can borrow this one. It's a loaner, but the milage is pretty low.

...Erick?

Remember that "Soul Contract" thing from {{XKCD}}? Yeah, I actually did that.

I'm not sure when it started but because of my mischievious nature, my friends and cousins seem to think they're making such a deal with me as the devil whenever I offer to do them a favor. The ones who found out about the pitchfork toy I owned all gave me blank looks when they saw me with it.

Our tabletop gaming group used to own our Dungeon Master's soul in exchange for a soda. He bought it back later in two installments. (Please note this was played entirely for laughs. Tabletop gaming does not actually give you the power to extract or manipulate souls.)

Someone hasn't read his JackChick it seems...(Don't)

In a rather disturbing and depressing Real Life version of this trope, my Biology teacher once told the class a story about a smart, intelligent girl who went bad when she was about fourteen; having constant sex with everything, doing drugs, stealing, all that, and she even bragged she had promised the Devil to kill herself on her eighteenth birthday if she got everything she wanted until then. In what this troper truly hopes is a coincidence, shortly after her eighteenth birthday, she didn't kill herself but she was arrested and was thrown in jail, and is still there to this day. Mind you, the focus of the story was on how a person with such potential threw it all away, not the demon part, and he didn't even point out that her life stopped being "good" after the promised birthday, but it's still creepy.

This troper had a history teacher who mentioned a student that would sell candy bars for souls. She always had the right kind of candy bar.

This Troper will gladly sell his soul to that student. Mostly because he doesn't think he has one. Weeeee! Free candy bar!

This troper wants to sell his soul for a long-term romantic involvement with an albinistic woman - he doesn't care anymore, even if she turns out to be an EvilAlbino...

This troper knows a female albino. She's Mormon and would probably pretend to trade your soul for a relationship, and then laugh at you and walk off. Maybe she ''is'' evil?

Agreed, but this troper is currently trying to atone for a two-timing incident involving betraying a GamerChick with an OlderThanTheyLook ex-prostitute hypocritical Christian fundamentalist. Thanks, but this troper has a second chance with said GamerChick now, maybe later, Satan. Plus that's not the kind of ''evil'' I meant...

Wait, let me get this one straight. You ''dumped'' a ''GamerChick''??

This troper sold his soul to the devil recently. Easiest 20 bucks he ever made.

This troper would sell his soul for a busty, bouncy, blonde beauty with a genius intellect, heart of gold, and vast knowledge of video games, anime, books, and computers.

You fool. For a soul you could easily get a partner with blue hair! Or pink hair. And a job of some kind, so you don't have to give them money constantly. You cast too wide a net.

I'm currently willing to sell my soul to get a happily ever after with my unrequited love interest, bonus points because in the future when I get cybernetic upgrades, they won't have a soul to eat <3.

Er...not sure this counts, but this troper is writing a novel in which my protagonist ''tries'' to sell her soul to Hades (a fairly benevolent deity in this adaptation,as per the original myths)to save her dying LoveInterest but can't manage because she doesn't technically have a soul.

In my short story, a guy who likes a retired band tries to sell his soul to a sort of Incubus who (probably) means him no indirect harm... By doing so, the Incubus lets him time-travel back to the times his band rocked and an ensuring fire breaks out at their concert. but in an OuterLimitsTwist, the friendly demon lets TheHero weasel his way out of the contract- by haunting indefinately the store he worked at after the same fire kills him.

This Troper's wife (who is a domestic, lifestyle slave) repeatedly asked for her contract to be revised after our marriage to specify I own her soul for all eternity, after which time I consented. I have a great wife. This has not, however, disabused friends of mine from openly referring to me as "the devil."

This troper would sell his soul to change the world.

This troper's brother is more like a deal with the sidhe, but otherwise operates on the same principle. He won't enter into any agreement (with this troper, at least; who knows, maybe he's actually trustworthy when I'm not around. Pigs have flown before) if he thinks there's any possibility he'll have to hold to the spirit of the deal; perverting the letter of the deal to his own advantage is like a twisted little hobby for him.

This troper thinks the people of the Middle Ages were idiots for thinking someone would agree to this.Back then,everyone was TheFundamentalist.So why would anyone of the time make a deal with Satan if they knew who he was and that it'll end up in misery?I knew they were BookDumb,but I didn't think they'd be this TooDumbToLive

YouFailHistoryForever. Not everyone was TheFundamentalist, and the Devil's usually believed to be pretty damn persuasive.

Yeah, but it's your ''soul''. Unless the person was really stupid, did not truly believe souls existed, or Satan used mind control or hypnosis (which would be pretty likely...)

This troper was one of the few to defy this. Upon hearing on skype that two of her friends(who were together) met up again, I complained that I would give anything to meet up with my boyfriend.(I should point out that he lives on the other side of the country.) Cue the devil showing up and asking for my soul in exchange for being able to see him. Knowing that I already intended to meet up with my boyfriend this summer and that the devil would probably outsmart me in some way, I declined. We argued for a bit, and he eventually left, along with his assistant demon.

In an AllDogsGoToHeaven[=/=]Balto Roleplay this troper was in, Sakak, one of the main villains and an ancient Trickster spirit pulled a HeelFaceTurn with Belladonna, her coming along with him because they were in love. He buys the Devil out of one of these (Sakak litterally invented loopholes in this RP, so making deals with him wasn't a bright idea) in exchange for buying back Belladonna's soul for her because he loved her, aww!.

This Troper has a friend who, whenever she asks her for anything (especially money), will ask for her soul in return. It's less a permanent sale than collateral for a loan, though - she'll give it back once I pay her back. Sometimes, if it's not something I can return (like a sheet of paper to take notes in class), she'll give it back anyway, since she says the fun is in the chase. She doesn't want to torment me for eternity, and it's no fun to just have it.
