Hosni Mubarak for Sale on Ebay!
On Friday, February 4th, 2011, I put Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak up for sale on Ebay!


I created an auction on Ebay, the listing, entitled "Hosni Mubarak, Egyptian Dictator, Used" wasoffered in the Political Memorabilia category. The auction was bid up to $90.00 with close to 2,000 views before Ebay deleted the listing because, according to the Ebay message I received, "Listings of humans, human bodies, or human body parts aren't allowed on eBay" As such, I have immediately put Mubarak up for sale on the local Reno Craigslist under the "antiques" category. Link to the list here:
