Ebay Auctions its Own Stolen CSoTY Award

Smack writes "Ebay didn't pick up their Cool Site of the Year award (just like Slashdot). So someone else picked it up for them, and now they're auctioning it off on Ebay itself! The price is already up to $130.00. What beautiful irony..." God bless the Internet. Now I'm beginning to wonder where my CSoTY trophy ended up... Update: 02/03 03:34 by CT : Wired picked up the story a little bit ago. They don't know where our trophy is either *grin*

Interesting conflict of morality for Ebay. On the one hand, they claim they've got everything, and are impartial in regards to the sellers. On the other, what do you do when you know without a doubt that someone is a)selling (your) stolen merchandise or b)misrepresenting the merchandise they sell through you?
