McCain: She sold the plane on EBay! ...for a PROFIT!

[godai]

She didn't sell it on Ebay. It was a private sale, at less than the asking price. But, with McCain, seems facts don't matter.

1. Alaska took @$800,000 loss on the deal -

Sold for $600,000 less than the purchase price, for 2.1 million - 10% broker fee would be $210,000.
State got $1.89 million for a plane that cost $2.7 million.

Of course, you know how it is - drive it off the lot and it loses 25% of its value...

2. i hope this TRUE information about the jet get out there

let everyone know that Alaska LOST MONEY....AGAIN because of Palin's stupidity.

3. Sarah also lies with aplomb. She said it with glee herself.

Maybe she covered the 100% lie track by saying "I put it up for sale on eBay," even if it actually sold privately. I read about that. The actual sale was privately, at a loss as you pointed out.

Whoops.

4. No, gramps, she sold it to a broker for a loss after failing to sell it on eBay.

5. It might have technically been a profit if they sold it for more than the

book value (which is net of depreciation).
