Default ebay's morbid fascination with death

Posted By: john/z28jd

If everyone didnt hear former mvp Ken Caminiti died last night of a heart attack and he was only 41.I realized awhile ago when a baseball player dies that ebay gets flooded with his items almost right away,and sometimes youll see extreme pricing but this one is almost beyond belief,except for the fact its no where near an isolated case.Over 100 Ken Caminiti items have been listed on ebay in the past 8 hours,or just a little more than half the amount thats shown up on ebay in the last 2 weeks for him.

Here one of the more dumbfounding auctions

autographed photo of him by a reliable seller didnt sell for 9.95 after running for a week

same photo relisted early this morning,sold for a buy it now of 90 dollars with 30 minutes of being listed
