Obama Senate seat listed on eBay

[RiverStone]

Governor Blagojevich was unsuccessful at trying to sell the vacant Illinois Senate seat, federal prosecutors say.

But that hasn't stopped another person from trying to seal the deal.

"Xthehaunting" is offering "Obama¹s Illinois Senate Seat" on Ebay. In his ad, he describes the seat in Blagojevich¹s own words "It¹s a (expletive) valuable thing, you just don¹t give it away for nothing." At 1:30 p.m., 20 bids were up to $116.46 The seller describes himself as a "poor student journalist in need of grocery money." He also adds that what the winner will receive is one printed photograph of Rod Blagojevich.
