Judge for sale on eBay

Email This Entry

Posted by Dominic Basulto

A "disgruntled litigant" in a landlord-tenant dispute in New York City Civil Court took justice into her own hands. She posted a picture of the housing court judge on eBay and offered him for sale to the highest bidder. While the judge was "outraged" at the act, other eBay bidders apparently were not -- the auction attracted 6,400 hits and 21 different bidders over a four-day period. After finding out about the sale, though, eBay promptly took down the posting.
