1. What? They did this before too. . .what kind of Bush-licking bullcrap is

this?

[pbartch]

18. Is Meg (eBay's CEO) a Bush lover?????

Is that why they keep taking down the anti Cheney auctions?

5. I agree they suck, but at least they suck both ways

I and others have gotten them to pull auctions that bashed John Kerry and Cindy Sheehan. I'm guessing that freeps ganged up and complained about Dr. Marble's auction.

But I'm confident that interested parties will continue to negotiate for the purchase of the video.

9. Does anybody have the original text of the auction?

Because ebay removes auctions with certain keywords, such as "fuck". So if the dr quoted himself in his auction, well... He should have stuck to "f***" instead of "fuck".

look here: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/everyone-profanity.html

14. He had all the asterisks in place...no obscenities

eBay will pull auctions if they get enough complaints. For instance, I sold some Chick comix and and fundies complained because I made fun of them in the auction, instead of treating them like religious items. :eyes: But there weren't enough complaints to shut down my sale.

As an aside, I got emails from people saying they were going to pray for me. So I reported them to eBay for harrassment, cuz you're only supposed to contact the seller to ask questions. That's in the rules, too. ;)

16. Thanks

So it's either censorship or complaints, and much points to the latter.

Well, I don't know if I like that either.

10. Ebay removed the second auction; there is a 3rd now but it too will be

removed, I am sure.
Can anyone here quickly put up a webpage where people could bid on the DVD - or someone who already has a retail webpage? That way, the auction stays up AND Ebay doesn't get a cut of the bid. If there is someone, does anyone have contact info. for Mr. Marble to see if he'd want this to be done? (maybe he knows someone who could do it, too)

[pbartch]

12. I am going to bid on this auction.

And if Dr. Ben puts up his auction again....I will bid on it.
I think we should ALL put this video up. Make eBay really work to keep the people from Bidding on "F" you Cheney tapes.

[pbartch]

17. the "F" Cheney auction has gotten 120 views and it's only been

up for a few hours.

13. Here is another good anti Bush-Cheney auction

15. That's ok, enough people know who he is and how to contact him.

I hope he makes a million!
