Below is the text the voter/seller posted on his eBay offer:
A FEW DAYS AGO, THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE GREEK GOVERNMENT, THEODOROS PAGKALOS, SAID IN AN INTERVIEW THAT GREEK ELECTIONS VOTES ARE SOLD. WELL, I DON’T WANT TO DISAPPOINT HIM. THE ELECTIONS IN GREECE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE PLACE IN MAY, SO I FOLLOW HIS ADVICE. I SELL MY VOTE, I’LL VOTE ANYTHING YOU TELL ME TO. IT DOESN’T NEED TO BE A POLITICAL PARTY. YOU’LL TELL ME WHAT TO PUT IN THE ENVELOPE. ONLY PRINTABLE ITEMS THOUGH, LIKE ADVERTISEMENTS,TEXT,PHOTOS,ETC. MY INITIAL INTENTION FOR MY VOTE WAS A BLANK ONE. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THE GREEK ELECTORAL SYSTEM COUNTS BLANK VOTES AS INVALID. CONTENT THAT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO: RACIST CONTENT,COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL,ADULT CONTENT,VIOLENCE,CURSING. VIDEO PROOF FROM THE VOTING PROCESS WILL BE UPLOADED. On Apr-09-12 at 18:29:10 PDT, seller added the following information:Dear Ebay, you told me that i cannot sell this item. I am clearly NOT violating any rule or policy. I am selling the space inside MY envelope on the day of the elections. I’m not selling Greece, i’m selling a service. Thank you. |
PS eBay may delete the offer so do not be surprised if you don’t find the link and you can’t submit your bid.
I just take a peek and I discovered your blog. Its your choice to sell your vote and I respect it. Anyways, thank you for sharing.
