This is disgusting. As I type there are 37 bids. Highest bidder is $5,000. Following is a section of the description:
"All items were working when removed and are now sold “as is” with no express or implied warranty of operability or fitness for use or purpose.
To authenticate the fixtures and cabinets, successful bidders will receive a copy of the deeds of sale to Jerry Garcia and from the Garcia Estate along with a signed declaration by the former owner of the house verifying
the items were removed from the house. By the sale of these items, no disrespect is intended towards the memory of Jerry [note the use of the familiar "Jerry" here, is if they had some personal association]. This auction and the Sophia Foundation are not affiliated with nor endorsed by either the Jerry Garcia Estate or the Grateful Dead."

Shout out to Michael for drawing my attention to this classic display of American capitalism. Which is the greater evil: selling the kitchen sink of Jerry Garcia at auction on eBay or buying the kitchen sink of Jerry Garcia at auction on eBay?
Namaste
