These are the five most expensive political souvenirs I could find on eBay
1. Canadian political-maritime artwork – $150,000
For only 150,000 dollars this short wooden sign, containing the name of a Canadian Prime Minister that I’ve never heard of but I’m sure you have, could be yours. It’s been on eBay twice and not found a buyer. I can’t think why since, as the seller points outs, it would adorn any political-nautical collection. This is particularly the case with political-nautical collections that specialise in Canadian campaigns.
2. World’s most famous assassination memorabilia – reduced from only $3.5 million
The seller of this item received "several tempting offers" when advertising it at $3.5m but decided to start again at $1,000 anyway . This is the traffic sign at Dealey Plaza taken from the intersection near the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Brilliant eBay phraseology is used to disguise the fact that the seller doesn’t guarantee that these lights were in use in 1963.
3. Death of a President artefact – $3,999
Always wanted a piece of Presidential funeral cloth? I know I have. A reasonable offer will secure you this, an artefact you’ve doubtless always been looking for.
4. Decorative scandalous ornament – $40,000
At such a bargainous price, who can resist? You can be part of a genuine political scandal, by buying this ornament. It’s original sale was front page news. Alternatively you can put it in front of the television so that the plasma your husband bought doesn’t look so obtrusive.
5. The ultimate collection – $1,800
A bargain. For 1,800 dollars you could have snapped up a virtually complete set of New York assembly autographs. The governor didn’t sign, but you can’t have it all.
Can you find any more expensive items?
