You could ask Satan if he'll send the money C.O.D.  Does the post office
handle such things?

By the way, when I was growing up, my best friend and I routinely traded
souls.  Trouble is, we did it so often that we lost track of who had whose
soul.  So if I offered the one I've got to Satan for money I've got a
fifty-fifty chance of sending my friend to hell and keeping the money for
myself.
