Michigan: Ebay Halts Auction of Kevorkian’s Van

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Volkswagen camper van that Dr. Jack Kevorkian used during his
assisted-suicide campaign is no longer for sale on eBay after the online
auctioneer cited a policy against `murderabilia.’ The owner, Jack Finn, put
the van up for auction last week. The top bid was $3,400 at 12:30 p.m.
Monday, with three days left in the auction. The company sent an e-mail
message about the policy to Mr. Finn to explain why it pulled the listing.
He said he would sell the van through another auction company.
