"Some people still have great expectations for a certain Democrat. The canny few who managed to get a copy of Newsweek’s now-recalled “Madam President” special edition published Nov. 8 are hopeful they can capitalize on a report which features the subtitle “Hillary Clinton’s historic journey to the White House,” and a glowing portrait of the former presidential nominee.

The magazine is priced as high as $500 on eBay. The glorious but erroneous publication is now being peddled by multiple online dealers who somehow snagged a copy before the whole lot was hustled back to Newsweek within hours of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory. About 125,000 of the commemorative issues were published; the few surviving copies have achieved some sort of historic status, with most of the sellers describing their offering as “unread” or “in mint condition.” The public is interested. Some offers already have drawn multiple bids."

The magazines have been selling on EBay since Nov 9th, when they seem to hit their peak (over $500). Then there were tons of 'em being listed.

Now reports of fakes out there too.

"Those copies were quickly recalled — but hundreds of copies are still being offered for sale in online markets, for prices as low as 99 cents to as high as $9,995.

NBC News found 387 offers for the recalled issue Wednesday evening just on eBay. Many of them offered multiple copies for sale.

And that's a problem — because the edition's publisher says only 17 copies were actually sold before all the rest were recalled, calling into question the authenticity of many of those offers."

Sigh.

3. It just makes me sick. We all lost when Hillary lost.

I detested GWB, but DT scares the shit out of me. I can't imagine the harm he is going to do to our country and it's people.
