Last 20 minutes the bid jumped from $25,000 to $78,000. Looks like one of the bidders is a big time car collector.
A fool and his money...
WOnder if Obama has started his flop sweat. I’m sure this seller will “disappear” before morning. He better watch his back.
He’s too busy changing all those light bulbs.
How hard could it be to pull this off? You advertise this item, some moron pays with Paypal, once the funds clear you clear out the account and close it and make off with the loot.
I think it’s pretty easily implied that you are in fact bidding on a purported BC.
Paypal and Ebay are a lot more secure than you think.
Bid history from the last 30 days shows gold and vintage car and truck parts.
From Plainsradio blog:
Up to $77,877.00 with 55 bids now.
It is going up fast but who is bidding? If its real, the lawyers could get it and it would never come to light for us.
Bidding by t***o, a***o, b***o. Is that Obama?
One of Barry’s rich donors/supporters will end up buying it to keep the alleged birth information squelched.

A certified copy of the original Kenyan Birth Certificate is included....eBay wouldn’t let him advertise the certificate......it’s an end run.
You are tight Noob..A certified copy of the original Kenyan Birth Certificate is included....eBay wouldn’t let him advertise the certificate......it’s an end run.
Umm no it isn’t easily implied, dissertation is nothing more than a research article presenting his findings and theory. Somebody is risking a whole lot of money over what could be the ravings of a bored guy.
He says you can see it, if you choose to meet with him in person.
Thing is, if the bids keep going up, the MSM is going to have no choice but to start covering the issue.
From the auction....
"You are however welcome to view my dissertation, in person, before making your payment. Feel free to bring along with you a forensic examiner to authenticate my dissertation."
"You may refuse payment should you find that my dissertation is without merit. Upon request (during in-person viewing of dissertation) all supporting evidence will be made available to you."
It would be novel if this is what it took for the story to grow legs.
I’m sure Mr. Seller would have plenty of copies and backups.
Bid at $81, 200
That a***o guy has never bought anything under that name yet. Perhaps it is Obama, spelled backwards with the middle part asterisked out.
Yeah but you can view his activity, just click on his name.
That’s not how Ebay works. After the auction is over you then settle what you owe. So the buyer is not on the hook for anything i.e, the money just doesn’t come out of your account and go to the buyer until you initiate it. In this case, seller says bring the money with you and pay if you want to. There’s really nothing to lose.
The new ‘anonymous’ bidder system has no relationship whatsoever to the actual user name.
I’ve won auctions and the **** that shows isn’t even anything close to my actual user name.
True. It’s interesting, in that his previous auctions and cancellations have generated publicity for him, and it would seem that he’s worked out some kind of deal with eBay that enables him to list what he has in this way. If you read between the lines, he’s using the dissertation as “cover - a legit auction of his own property with the implication that a copy of the Obama BC will be transferred as part of the supporting research. Bidders could be anyone from National Inquirer on down.
‘Thing is, if the bids keep going up, the MSM is going to have no choice but to start covering the issue.’
This story is made for the National Enquirer. They would easily pay 100K+ if this was legitimate. Anyway, we’ll see. I’d be shocked if this were true. If this guy is willing to show it to someone who traveled to see him, then wouldn’t Corsi or Berg make a beeline to this document ASAP?
$82,300.00 USD
I'm sure this person is covering that possibility. I hope that if they really have it, they would take extra measures to protect something that is worth so much by keeping an extra copy. And, the item up for bid is the dissertation about the birth of Obama--with all requisite evidence attached. And, for the exchange, this person needs to wear a bullet-proof vest and have lots of protection. I am more concerned that the 'buyer' is not a legitimate bidder. It could be anyone...(think troll) trying to stop this from happening.
Maybe they are :)
Hey spinesurgeon, That is exactly what I was thinking! If actually real, Bammy or his shills have equal opportunity of winning the auction. I’ll bet, that he would spend several of Soros’ millions to get it! These days, what’s a few million compaired to the power of the highest office in the land? Damn crooks! Lets just hope its real and one of the good guys gets it! Until then.......
Wonder if Mooshelle has started downing martinis more frequently..
National Enquirer has completely blacked out the eligibility story—uncharacteristically...and the salacious Larry Sinclair story with crack cocaine purchase and use by Obama as late as 1999 ( while he was a state senator).
So not expecting them to jump on this.
( they have let the lesser ‘Globe’ do the work.....it is a tabloid in the same publishing company I think...so they are sneaking these things out but not within the pages of the Enquirer—which has worked to establish more “credible” muckraking rep...ie, John Edwards etc. ) I figure when this eligibility story finally hits the pages of the Enqjuirer, all hell is ready to break loose.
Oh. I quit ebay a long time ago so I didn’t know. But it is a funny coincidence.
Then he gets convicted for fraud.
