Sarah Palin Autographed Xbox 360 on Ebay for $1.1 Million

August 6, 2009

If you've simply got to have an Xbox 360 signed by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, there's one on Ebay right now.

It will set you back a few bucks, though. The bid is currently at US$1.1 million. Oh, and 75 bucks for shipping.

The Anchorage Daily News reports that Canadian David Morrill (left, with the ex-Guv) drove for three days to meet Palin at a picnic in Alaska:

[Morrill] said he pushed to the front of the greeting line and asked Palin to sign the Xbox as proof he met her. It was "one of the greatest thrills of my life..."

He has received one anonymous bid for his Xbox, for which he's asking at least $1.1 million. The bidder ID has just one "feedback" rating on eBay, and there's no guarantee Morrill will get his money.

Here's the Ebay listing...

UPDATE: The Ebay listing has been removed for reasons unknown at this time...

UPDATE 2: An auction for a "replica" of the Sarah Palin Xbox 360 has been posted on Ebay with an opening price of $1,100. In the listing, the seller pokes a bit of fun at the former Guv:

This replica has been painstakingly recrafted using:

* Detailed photographs of the original signed Xbox 360
* Imagery of Palin's signature on the infamous "helicopter-wolf-hunting" bill from 2003

...Furthermore, this item (unlike others) is "Guaranteed Not To Quit For Two Years" ...

Own the only Palin related item truly prepared to serve half a gubernatorial or presidential term!

Another one has popped up as 'replica' version, also asking for 1.1 mil. No bids, and clearly a joke posting this time.

Probably a fradulent sale. As in it was never really signed by Sarah Palin.

I once met this guy who bought and sold signatures of dead stars. He also worked as a verifier of signatures of big-name stars. He had a pretty cool collection of signatures.

Besides: IT´S A FREAKING XBOX360!!!

When the damn console gets RROD´d, the idiots on the Microsoft Service will just erase the freaking signature, like they did to a console filled with Bungie´s staff autographs, even when the owner written a letter specifically asking to not erase it.

(but I´m pretty sure they did it anyways for the lulz)...

And yeah, only a retard will want to pay a million of dollars for that console. Good luck, dumbass.

In fact, I knew the ending of that story, and Bungie looked cool on that one. I just didn´t mentioned because I was talking about the people from the service.

Isn't that the same as quote mining? Anywho, JustChris is right. They don't fix your console and send it back; they just take it, stare at it for a month, and then send you a new one...

Submitted by JustChris on Thu, 08/06/2009 - 22:24.

I don't think they actually alter the console...they just chuck it out and give you a new one. Which is why it's sorta easy to get the free replacement even if you break off the sticker inside, because most of the time, they won't bother to check.

You're and idiot. Don't you know that there are a frightfully large number of border-line retards who would fork over an insane amount of money for one of her "autographs".

And then you combine it with frat boys who have more money than sense and love their X-Boxes almost as much as they love Dubya, and you've got a goldmine.

I may just go into selling Palin X-Boxes and retire youngish.

That is the case. Not if, but when. Game Informer called it the pack-in 360 game: playing on borrowed time.

I'm pretty sure it's a scam. Only one bid for the item and it's 1.1 million? Something fishy this way comes...

EDIT: I also find it "convenient" that the only bid of 1.1 million already met the starting price... Once again, I revert to my previous statement.

Either way the sale will not happen. It's too replacable.

Now, if Sarah cut off all her fingers, or died, that might make it more valuable.

I could go to her house right now and get her to sign 10 more, thereby making the first absolutely worthless (once i'd proven it was reproducable)

There's no way that he's going to get that money. Hell, I have silverware stolen from Europe during WWII and I can't get anywhere near that for the silverware, PLUS all the nazi paraphenalia my grandfather stole of off corpses.

Yeah... because stolen silverware from a random European country from 60 years ago is a real hot item. Same for authentic stolen Nazi paraphenalia. You don't need to find a collector, you need to find a fence. Ridiculous.
