The PCs in my campaign were sent to find out why a holy site that houses the remains of a heroic paladin of Wee Jas has been corrupted. One of the characters is a member of the church and was tasked with doing so.
Inside, they found a darkskull (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#darkskull). They are now trying to justify selling it to the temple of Wee Jas. My question is, why would the temple buy an item that is a) described as "wholly evil" and b) from a holy site two of the characters were tasked to clear of evil.

If they are not a good party I do not see a problem with the taking of the Darkskull, however...if they are goodly and the looted the tomb, that would be a bit much.
As for searching for a reason to buy the item, many church's will buy evil items, and lock them away to keep them out of the hands of the ignorant, and evil that can use them against the people.
...not to mention, there are evil clerics of weejas. But I agree w/ the above post. If they are a good party, they wouldnt want to spread evil by selling an evil item.

Just noticed that the Book of Exalted Deeds has a section on redeeming Darkskulls (so they emit a Hallow effect). Maybe encourage them to pursue this goal (could come in handy at the Battle of Farshore)
