So you’re looking for a new profession eh. One full of excitement and glamour that can have you traveling around the world hunting down the rarest of rarest manbeasts – the Vampire. If this is the case then this kit would be right up your alley, that is if you have the $14,850 needed to buy it up but hey it comes with all kinds of providence.
Included in this 200 year old kit is: A bible, cross, hand gun and silver bullets, Holy oils, Holy water, some candles, garlic along with an assortment of metal and wooden stakes. You know all the good stuff to do some serious damage to some nasty vampires.
Mind you it might be a little difficult to explain to that TSA gate agent at the the airport.

Very Nice, but it's a FAKE. ( going by the photo.) 1/ The Gun & Silver Bullets are not 'period'. 2/ The Bolline/Stake in the lid of the box, has an Inverted Cross on it. NO Vampire Hunter would Ever Use the Satanic Symbol of the Upside Down Cross!! 3/ 200 year old Garlic!? Oh Really, mine goes off in a few weeks!! 4/ The Box itself, is about middle 20th Century.(probably made from 2 old shadow boxes hinged together.) 5/ The Blade of the Dagger, has a Modern 'Look' about it, especially at the hilt. 6/ Holy Water & Holy Oils, 200 Years Old??! Wake Up Folks! The “Holy” Water would most likely have evaporated in 200 years! The water content in the Oils would also have evaporated, leaving a hard,sticky smelly mess in the bottles. ……. The Bottles MIGHT Be Circa 200 years ago, but I doubt it. Probably no older than 80 years,at a guess. 7/ The Price. IF this were Real, You just could not put a price on it, as it would be a Museum Piece. & 8/ Vampire Hunters, & their Kits, NEVER Really Existed!! (Only in Fiction & the Movies.) ,,,,,, Vampires were not hunted, They were Dealt with, just as any doctor would deal with the sick. Did Vampires themselves Ever Really Exist? No one is certain, & their existance has Never been proven. As I said though,, it Is a Very Nice FAKE. ,,,, I'd like to own it myself, but I'd only pay a maximum of $50.00 AUD. (on conditions….) ……………… WAKE UP FOLKS,,, IT's FAKE!! ( at least it doesn't say 'Made in China'. )
