Xbox Signed by Sarah Palin Will Only Set You Back $1.1 Million (Plus Shipping)




eBay’s dmorrill321, otherwise known as David Morrill, is one determined seller.
After three separate attempts to list an Xbox 360 reportedly signed by former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin were thwarted by eBay, Morrill is back at it for a fourth try. But this time, he’s dotting his “i”s and crossing his “t”s.
Morrill believes that he’s finally satisfied eBay’s requirements, and that the Xbox in question, which has a starting minimum bid of $1.1 million (plus $15 for shipping), will not be delisted again.

So what was eBay’s problem with the listing? Morrill’s lengthy explanation of the matter says that the first time the listing was removed, it was due to an insufficient description. On another try, Morrill received a $1.1 million bid, but there was an issue over PayPal not being able to process such a large payment. Finally, yesterday it was pulled because it was political in nature and listed in the wrong category.

To comply with eBay restrictions, Morrill’s completely reworked the listing with more photos, changed payment processing companies, altered the category, and even added a disclaimer to satisfy eBay’s terms. Whether or not his efforts are sufficient, remains to be determined.

As for the Xbox 360, itself, Morrill insists, with photographic proof, that the “infamous Sarah Palin XBOX 360 was autographed at the governors picnic on July 24, 2009, in Wasilla, Alaska, just two days before her resignation as governor of that state. You can own this 60GB, perfect-condition, one-of-a-kind item before her expected run for president of the United States of America in 2012.”
While we’d never shell out that kind of money for a Palin signed Xbox (even if we had it), we’re curious to see if the original $1.1 million bidder will step up to plate again, and whether or not there will be any challengers.
