"Shuttle" Items on Ebay

ReignDomain · Feb 1, 2003

Someone listed item "COLUMBIA SPACE SHUTTLE DEBRIS" on ebay, with starting bid $10,000. Ebay admin. deleted the item.

Ebay search brings 1005 items for "shuttle columbia".
21 pages of items are "newly listed".

Well of course, it goes without saying that buzzards will roam ebay at times like this.

I would not buy a newly made item that was clearly put on sale to profit on the misery caused by the tragic accident.

Disgusting ... that one would try to profit from this tragedy!!!

This guy is even using the astronauts pics to push his shuttle names which he just registered on 02-01-03. No shame.

I wonder if 'low life' DomainAddict will sell T-Shirts making fun of this - like he does for the WTC tragedy.

Selling the debris - that's hindering a Federal investigation. Isn't that a punishable offence under law?

Ed - here in Texas the authorities announced that they will be pursuing everybody they find. That stuff has been classified as 'evidence' in the investigation - and they say if found guilty - the people face up to 10 years in prison.

Considering that our local news caught a lot of them on tape pulling over to the side of road - and grabbing stuff - they should be able to identify and round up many of them pretty easily. Lets hope so!

I bet the FBI are going through Ebay's database as we speak - if not they should be.
Some people are not only low, they are also incredibly stupid.

Not only that Pops, I thought some of this stuff was toxic too! Unbelievable.

NamePopper.com · Feb 2, 2003

Oh yeah man - the hospitals down here have already had a few people that took the stuff - and then came in freaking out because they saw news reports saying it was toxic. The great thing is - that one report said that FBI & Police Officials were waiting for them after they got released from the hospital.

You gotta love it!

No doubt MikeMike. When they try to collect - we can fax them a picture of our middle finger.

eBay pulled the auction. Good!

It's a federal offense to resell parts of the shuttle.

Kid Kool · Feb 3, 2003

not to mention some of that stuff is radioactive.

don't touch!

I did see a few resonable auctions on there as well, or at least sound reasonable you never know once they get their money. But there was a patch for sale that was up to like $4,000. They said in the auction description they were going to donate all the procedes to funds in the names of those lost. The idea is good, but like i said who knows what they will really do with the money.
