Permalinkif you log on to ebay as a user you can see it's a buyer from Turkey. And you can't be a bidder without a valid credit card billing address, so I'd guess it's really a buyer from Turkey. How many lions did Turkey take at Cannes this year? Add one to that.

Permalink"PERLORIAN BROTHERS' LION FIGURINE"?? Who is this nutty canadian seller, did he steal it or win it?

PermalinkI don't know if it's a stunt or what, but I love how it shows up the reverence people put in these things. And hey, aren't awards supposed to be parlayed into big bucks anyway? It's not a pr stunt it's a political statement!!

PermalinkHey, come on. There's only one way to get one. (Did an ad once with this as the tagline. The visual? The eBay toolbar, with someone typing in One Show Pencil.)
I think it's great we've reached a point where the have-nots have turned to eBay to settle the score... I think Mr. Hatuel would be quite proud to know there are people falling over themselves to bid for this metal-doorstop nonsense. And he, quite frankly, doesn't deserve the satisfaction...
