| XBox 360 game signed by Sarah Palin on eBay for $1.2 million |
| 2009-10-06 |
| AN XBox 360 videogame console purportedly signed by former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is being offered for sale on online auction site eBay for a cool $US1.1 million ($1.2 million). The XBox was autographed by Mrs Palin at a public event in Wasilla, Alaska, on July 24, two days before her surprise announcement that she was stepping down as governor of Alaska, according to seller David Morrill. Mr Morrill included three photographs of Mrs Palin signing the XBox in his eBay listing to back up its authenticity. He noted that the item had been "de-listed" by eBay on three previous occasions but said he had now satisfied all of the site's requirements. "You can own this 60GB, perfect-condition, one-of-a-kind item before (Palin's) expected run for president of the United States of America in 2012," Mr Morrill said. Mrs Palin, a darling of conservatives, is seen as a potential challenger for the White House at the end of President Barack Obama's first term. A top-of-the-line XBox 360 Elite console, which has a 120 gigabyte hard drive, retails for $US299 ($336). |
