Crikey! Who would have known?
Let's skip Sotheby's and go straight to ebay.

They are even selling hand written notes about Rosa Parks and her bus protest. All for US$35,000.00

It was a 7 or 9 million dollar jet. Can't remember the details.

Interesting but the description/item raises some questions.
"This exceedingly rare original Schindlerโs List is the only one ever on the market. It emanates from the family of Itzhak Stern, Schindlerโs accountant and right hand man (played by Ben Kingsley in the Academy Award-winning film). There are 3 others known which are in institutional hands."
Original?, 3 others known, yes but copies also.
Here are some old pictures of the whole "list" which have a much more authentic appearance:

It is from Yad Vashem - World Center for Holocaust Research, Documentation.
The eBay list is somewhat different in detail when compared to the Yad Vashem one
I would not touch the auction with a barge-pole.

2010
The winner of eBay's most expensive charity auction ever, who asked to remain anonymous, paid $2.6 million in 2010 for a lunch date with Berkshire Hathaway (BRK) CEO Warren Buffett, also known as the third-richest person in the world.
A lot of money for a lunch date, I would rather buy a jet.
In 2001, a private jet was sold on eBay for $4.9 million in what at the time was the highest known sale price for any item ever auctioned over the website.
The luxurious Gulfstream II, which seats 12, was sold by business plane vendor Tyler Jet to a charter-flight company headquartered in Africa.

A $10,000 deposit is due within 12 hours of winning the auction payable via wire transfer, credit card, or PayPal. The balance is due within 7 days into an approved escrow account. Specific payment details will be worked out with the buyer.
Item located in Israel. US seller.
Can the seller demand balance of payment must be made into an escrow account.?. shouldn't the buyer be able to choose the method of payment themselves from the options of wire transfer, credit card or paypal?

The most expensive to ever been sold on ebay is a yacht that was bought by Roman Abramovich who is a Russian billionaire. It was sold in February 2006 and it was bought at the cost of 104.36 million British pounds.
Other items include Gulfstream II jet which was sold at 3.1 million British pounds
Boys toys, sorry, girls and boys toys.
I think I got away with it.
