She didn’t say she sold it on ebay, but she wanted you to think she did. Also, when McCain was asked three people he’d go to for advice as President, one of them was EBay CEO Meg Whitman. So they got a huge plug in for EBay. But hey, they’re the change you can trust. NOT
That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay.

EBay got a huge plug Wednesday night when, trying to depict herself as a tight-fisted reformer, GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said she put an Alaska state jet on eBay.

But the Westwind II jet never sold on eBay.

According to PolitiFact, the plane, bought by her Republican predecessor whom she beat in 2006, was listed for sale three times on the San Jose internet auction giant. But no one ever met the minimum bid. The plane was listed with an asking price of $2.5 million in 2007. The state had paid just under $2.7 million for it in 2005.

Finally, the state turned to an aircraft broker, who sold the jet to an Alaskan businessman for $2.1 million.
