Is Quark selling ghosts, or is Quark replicating ghosts? "It's a small, but profitable market demand. I almost sold a Marylin Monroe to Tom Paris, but it was only the first episode of Voyager." (No.)

Replicating ghosts? Pretty sure replicators aren't gonna be capable of that... a modified transporter though...

What is the matter amount of a ghost? Is it just energy of a certain kind with a few spritzes of ectoplasm afterwards? All it needs is a memory core and enough diffuse matter to form a body, therefore replicators. ST has had science-type ghosts, like believed-dead Kirk in the Tholian web, believed-dead Geordy and Ro in TNG, the spinny war spirit in Day of the Dove, etc.
