:D Zimmerman's gun auction...

I was wondering what happened to this evil SOB's gun auction:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2016/05/14/zimmerman-deletes-reposts-auction-gun-used-kill-martin/84389940/

In a chat below the listing, one site visitor asked where all the previous bids had gone. Zimmerman responded, "The previous auction and bids were purged due to illegitimate bidding. Yes, this auction is real."

As of late Saturday evening, there were no bids on the listing, which carried a minimum bid of $100,000 and an instant purchase price of $500,000.

....being sold by a piece of shit person.

It's worth $250 new.

Lucky if he gets $125

Maybe he scratched his name on it or something? Maybe he can show the police photo? I mean this guy is a scam artist extraordinaire.

....he could buy them and sell them at a higher price.

But I don't think any one wants the gun at any price.

Of that group, many of them would LOVE to own any weapon at all that had actually taken a human life, but especially a "famous" one. Maybe not a hundred grand's worth of want, but surely five grand worth.

He did sell a painting he did (primarily blowing up a copyrighted image) for $100,000 - supposedly. I would guess between having to pay lawyer fees and his general stupidity, he blew through it pretty quickly. I also doubt he has much in the way of job skills nor the desire to get a real job as he thinks he's special.

The gun was marked as evidence for Zimmerman's trial, so that could be an authenticating mark I suppose.

On the other hand, I don't think Zimmerman is in any position to earn a living for the foreseeable future. I hope the gun sells for enough that he doesn't have to resort to a life of crime. Sometimes that doesn't end well in Florida.

on the condition I could turn around and shoot George Zimmerman dead with the gun. I might be able to justify the cost that way (the original $5k, not this ridiculous $65 million though). I'm sure anything else would be spent on lawyers.

So now he tries to stay in the social spotlight, even to the point of begging people to remember that time he murdered a teen in the rain and got away with it.

Given that George Zimmerman's in the news for blaming Trayvon's parents for whatever he sees Trayvon did to warrant shooting him, any slap in the face this asshole gets is welcomed.
