This ad on eBay was already taken down twice making headlines in the news. It's back up and selling for over $2,000 with 10 bids so far.
"The first time was because of offensive material, so all offensive images were removed," explained ChadMichael Morrisette, the owner of the home where the controversial effigy was hung last Halloween, in an e-mail. So he took the noose out of the photos and the ad was reposted.
Again it was taken down. "The second time was because we had her glasses as tortoise shell glasses and eBay said we can't sell anything tortoise shell because they are endangered and protected. Really pushing it there."
