I haven't seen the auction in question.

Somebody already mentioned this (maybe one of the Gerber news posts), eBay
has banned all WTC and Pentagon related auctions until at least October.

I think Ebay should ban it for good and if they don't I'm never buying there
again. I think it's just plain sick! Any person wishing to buy, sell, trade
and/or somehow turn a profit from debris soaked with the blood of their
countrymen is worthless scum in my opinion.

OK, I think excessive profiteering is a bit despicable, yes. But ponder this.

I would like to have a small piece of the WTC because I want a tangible
reminder of this tragedy, something to spark discussion with my kids or
grandkids, and don't ever want to forget that horrid day.

I'm willing to pay someone a reasonable price for the trouble of shipping it
to me. Does that make me scum for offering to pay their expense? Does it
make them scum for accepting instead of doing it for free?
