The Remains of eBay
Steven Corfe just got an email from eBay regarding the touched-by-celebrity arm he put up for auction on January 8:
You recently listed the following auction-style listing:
300068486984 - Hilary Swank autographed arm
The auction-style listing was removed because it violated the eBay Human Body Parts and Remains policy. All fees related to this listing have been credited to your account. We also notified members who placed bids on the item that the listing has been canceled.
Listings of humans, human bodies, or human body parts are not permitted on eBay. In addition, sales of Native American skulls, bones, and other Native American grave-related items are prohibited under the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act and are not permitted on eBay.

Last I checked, the highest bid was $1.25.
Next time someone says "I'd give my right arm to blah blah blah," I now know the value of which they speak.
