+davidcalgary29 Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 I think that eBay should suspend all "Space Shuttle" or Columbia-related auctions until Wednesday. This would certainly show a little respect for the victims and their families. It's nice to see that people want to commemmorate / reflect on the lives of the Columbia crew, I don't think that buying items in an auction is appropriate right now. And spending $1K + on "an official STS-107 patch!" right now is simply tacky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as_the_gavel_falls Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 I think it was there all along. I had a few Space Shuttle carts up and they canceled all the auctions. I had two which were sold buy-it-now earlier and will be donating the gross receipt to an appropriate charity as I don't want the money; it was obviously from people looking for space shuttle related items as the buy-it-now's had been up since tuesday.

MrRetroGamer Posted February 2, 2003 Author Share Posted February 2, 2003 This is at the top of that auction: THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL ITEM, YOU WILL RECIEVE NOTHING UPON PAYMENT Yeah, so what? It's pretty sick one way or another. Now is not the time for jokes about this type of stuff, is it?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukey Shay Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 The thing that I don't get is why wasn't the page pulled off completely (i.e. "invalid item") Looks like evilbay wants the negative publicity that goes along with the auction. No such thing as bad press, I guess. REALLY-> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
