EBay Yanks Auction For Schwarzenegger's DNA

Posted by timothy on from the effrontery dept.

charlzard writes "In the Sacramento Bee, the AP is reporting that a cough drop the governor reputedly sucked on, then tossed half-finished into a trash can, was put up for auction on eBay, listed under the heading 'Schwarzenegger's DNA.' It was just as quickly taken down after eBay decided it fell into the category of "body parts," but an eBay spokesman said the seller, identified only as "AMF814," could put it back up for sale if they reclassified it as a collectible. ...if the successful bidder had the wherewithal, this would give 'I'll be back' a new twist."
