A man from Timbuktu places an online ad offering his soul in exchange for a trifling amount; soon after he gets a taker, offering much more.
What happens? How does Timbuktu figure in the arrangement?

Liminal loglines - daily doses
A liminal plan
As I awake from some REM-inducing state or other, I'll post a logline, piece of dialogue or synopsis, culled from the strange - or mundane - within. Which is hereby referred to as a limiline.
Afterwards, there will be questions, to be answered by you, wide awake or not.
I WILL REPLY TO COMMENTS EVENTUALLY, IF NOT SOONER.

He asked for a grain of rice. Because a soul is worth whatever value you choose to give it. He was offered all the angels on the head of a pin instead. Pin included.
The man is thrilled with the offer, but turns it down. If that's what his soul is worth, he's not so certain he's willing to part with it.
The man from Timbuktu asked for all the riches in the world.
The buyer gives these to him and in addition offers a book of incredible philosophy, containing compelling explanations of the meaning of life, the universe and everything. But as the man from Timbuktu no longer has a soul, he can only hold open the book, and cry over it, tears of frustration. He realizes how worthless the riches are.
