TimbaBear how will you react to this being sold on EBAY?? Does it not reflect on EBAY management?? Fury over 'sick' internet sale of US killers' art By James Langton in New York telegraph.co.uk:80/et?ac=000387808654031&rtmo=pQ4SBNhe&atmo=99999999&pg=/et/99/9/19/wsale19.html MACABRE souvenirs of American mass murderers are being openly traded through the world's biggest internet auction house. Everything from paintings and poems by incarcerated serial killers to the Bible used by the Manson "family" as they planned their murderous rampage have been offered for sale via the eBay auction service. The grisly trade was highlighted last week following protests from the relatives of victims of the cannibal Arthur Shawcross, who butchered 11 young women in New York state during the Eighties. Paintings and autographs produced by Shawcross in his cell at the Sullivan Correctional Facility were offered for sale anonymously through eBay, prompting a full-scale investigation by the authorities. As a result he has been punished with two years in solitary confinement to a cell for 23 hours a day and his art privileges have been withdrawn for five years, meaning that during that time he will not be able to participate in any arts or crafts programmes or be allowed to buy or sell any arts or crafts items. Prison regulations prohibit the conducting of business activity by inmates. But eBay insists that the items, which include a painting of Marilyn Monroe, are being offered for sale legally. All the lots, which buyers bid for electronically, had been sold by yesterday for prices of up to $250 (£154).
