Palin-signed Xbox gets million-dollar eBay bid

A Canadian who is selling a Sarah Palin-signed Xbox 360 video game system on eBay said he drove three days up the Alaska Highway specifically to meet the outgoing governor at one of the Governor's Picnics. David Morrill of Vimy, Alberta, said he pushed to the front of the greeting line and asked Palin to sign the Xbox as proof he met her. It was "one of the greatest thrills of my life," Morrill told the Journal. He has received one anonymous bid for his Xbox, for which he's asking at least $1.1 million.

I even love how she signs her name - quite the bold flair and similar to my signature! Yes, I have a crush on Sarah and the restraining orders will not stop me!!!!

No chance someone will pay $1.1 million for the autograph of anybody in world history, except maybe Jesus if it could be authenticated. I think a George Washington signed document only goes for $15,000 or something like that.

Highly unlikely.

I take that back...I see while searching on the net that the world’s most expensive autograph is about $5 million for William Shakespeare. I highly doubt someone would pay $1.1 million for Sarah Palin, though, unless the person is gambling that she will become one of the greatest presidents in history.

I prefer not to use the word “stalk” - such a fine line between it and being REALLLY enthusiastic.....but that’s another story from my court room appearances.

Why would that be necessary. If her sig commands that kind of cash all she has to do is sign a few objects and let the pac sell them. No need to get into the guy’s good fortune.

Just think if she was a painter and could sell her signed art what it would bring based upon this bid......

Bidding on something on Ebay and actually PAYING for it are two different things. I’d like to find out when the auction ends, if the person who bid on it will actually end up paying for it. 1.1 million for a signed XBOX 360, not even the elite version, that is an insane price to pay. If I had something signed by Sarah, I’d treasure it always, I wouldn’t sell it. When I saw the photo of her signing that XBOX, I knew the guy was gonna try to sell it, he should give some of that money to SarahPac

Can you imagine who the heads of the MSM would explode if someone ACTUALLY paid $1.1 million for this. I think some of them would have a stroke.

Imagine if the seller takes some of that money and gives it away, he can say “See, Sarah Palin IS stimulating the economy, she has done more in a few days then Obama has done in his entire Administration”
