Saddam Hussein a hit on eBay
WASHINGTON (AFP) Apr 10, 2003
 Saddam Hussein has become a hit on the Internet auction site eBay, with more than 2,000 items pertaining to the Iraqi leader being offered for sale Thursday.

Among the items are coins and currency bearing his image, Saddam toilet paper, and an Internet domain name, www.DamnSaddam.com being offered for 750 dollars.

An autographed photo of Saddam, who has not been heard from since Monday, when a coalition airstrike targeted a building he was believed to have entered, was going for 1,000 dollars with six days to go. Thirty-one bidders were vying for the photo of Saddam kneeling on a prayer rug.
