Ebay dog of the day! Brought to you by historys_heroes




Check out this monstrosity! Possibly the worst LBJ I've ever seen, now at a bargain basement price of $26 for the lucky high bidder.

His Buzz Aldrin is as well one of the most pathetic attempts I've ever seen! It's a give-away at $30 or so.

Now, the interesting thing is that the seller, historys_heroes, has previously sold signed books of minor political figures and never hid the buyers' names. Now, his sales are "private" with elaborate descriptions, authenticity promises, and so on.

This is the typial eBay set-up. The seller builds up his feedbacks selling minor, legitimate items, then starts selling spurious material hoping his feedback rating will fool a gullible public.

Watch for more trash from the same seller. And there are plenty more where he came from!
