What To Sell On eBay: A "Popemobile"

If you're wondering what to sell on eBay, consider the used car of a pope. Back in May of 2005, there were 8,500,000 hits to an auction of a Volkswagen Golf that was formerly owned by Pope Benedict XVI. The car was won by the Golden Palace casino for €188,938.88. The Golden Palace has achieved a certain notoriety just for buying weird stuff like a haunted picture and the famous cheese sandwich.

Now this Volkswagen is for sale again, so if you're interested in a famous car here's your chance. Curently, there are 65 bids and the current price is US $202,700.00, which hasn't met the reserve. Personally, the fact that somebody famous has used or owned an item means nothing to me, but I know that isn't true for many people. Perhaps this is one of those famous 'pieces of history'?

Auction for a 1999 Volkswagen Golf

The most interesting part of this auction is that the seller is protecting the auction from publicity seekers by allowing pre-approved bidders only. Wise move.
