The worst Ebay auction we’ve seen this week:
Audacity of Hope/Change by Randy Rusten. An original 18″ x 24″ canvas painting “situated over the campaign’s Change theme, capturing the focus in vibrant color”.
Now I know I’ve definitely seen worst paintings of Obama and I might even go as far as saying that this piece isn’t allll that bad. However, I (and this is entirely personal here people) feel that the asking price is a little steep. To be listed “the worst ebay auction of the week” really takes a lot, and in this particular case, it takes a 1 million dollar starting price.

Yes.

One – million – dollars.

What’s even better is that this is the starting price, not the buy it now price. Guess the seller is expecting it go higher?
