funjumper101 15 #1 January 28, 2009 and a non-paying bidder as well. A fine example of righty brilliance, ethics and morals. Too ignorant to comprehend the details of what they were buying, they failed to deliver on a legal contract to buy the item when they won it on eBay. A steroetype come to life. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/n/a/2009/01/24/state/n091817S94.DTL The maker of a Sarah Palin mannequin says a would-be buyer backed out when he discovered its past — as a effigy hung by a noose in a West Hollywood home's Halloween display. Professional window dresser ChadMichael Morrisette said the winner of the eBay auction thought he was buying a pro-Palin item until he heard a radio report about it. Morrisette created the look-alike mannequin of the Republican vice presidential candidate and hung it from his home's roof for Halloween. He removed it early out of safety concerns after the display prompted protests. Morrisette told the Los Angeles Times the would-be sale price was more than $2,200. He hasn't said whether he would auction the item again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Belgian_Draft 0 #3 January 28, 2009 How was the item represented on eBay? If the buyer is a big fan of Palin (God only knows why) then they probably wouldn't want anything to do with that particular mannequin, let alone hand over 3200 bucks to someone who hates her that much. Not a valid reason for backing out of the deal, though. Good example of two idiots crossing paths.HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.

Belgian_Draft 0 #10 January 28, 2009 Yep. A bit of checking by the bidder would have shown it's history. Even if the guy (or gal) lives out of touch with civilization, an e-mail to the seller asking why it was in the news would have been in order. On the other hand, I wonder why the seller didn't post a pic of the mannequin hanging?HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
