] Xbox360 autographed by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin two days before she left office put it up for auction on Ebay...for $1.1 million.
It got one bid. For $1.1 million.
And then it disappeared.
There was much discussion on the blogosphere about what happened. Then came some knock-off Palin Xbox's on Ebay for $1,100, one tenth of one percent of the $1.1 million pricetag. The fauXbox sported forged autographs. But even they disappeared.

] because it looks like Gov. Palin forgot the "h" in her first name. Assuming she actually autographed the thing. Apparently there's no great mystery here. CNBC has learned that the $1.1 million listing price raised a red flag at Ebay, which pulled it off the website until the Xbox and the autograph can be authenticated. The company also wants to work with the seller on a method to pre-qualify bidders to avoid bogus bids. Both sides are working to re-list the item, so Palin fans, stand by!
Meantime, there's a lovely "rare" oil painting of the former Governor on the site.
Buy it Now...for $5,000.
