Rofl. What a terrible and flat out wrong argument.

If this is true, I do indeed understand the Palin hate.
Dude, that's only the beginning. Her entire platform is based on thinly-veiled xenophobia and blatant falsehoods.

You might as well have one signed by your jobs janitor. He'd know just about as much as she does in terms of Politics, no, I take that back, he'd know more, his MOP would know more.

Maybe if it was signed by a gaming company that someone liked or something...

But $1 million for an xbox signed by a politician, why would someone buy that?

I don't get all the hate for her. I'm not a U.S citizen, nor have I ever been there, so I certainly cannot make a call on the issue, but I've yet to hear anything bad about her - except a lot of hate, which seems to be for hate's sake. I'd love to figure out why this is so.

OT: Why anyone would pay for anything signed by anyone is beyond me. Oh look, it has lines on it... how nice.
It's politics in the USA. Most people aren't intelligent enough to tell you why they're voting, but they'll absolutely hammer the person they're not supporting.

They also hammer their politicians for any controversial decision, shortly after they demand it to be made.

Funny place, best view is from the outside.


In response to OP, that's a pretty dumb thing to do. If Palin were President, that would get a million. But she's not, so half that maybe. But the guy is making it at minimum a mil. That isn't going to get him anything. If it started at 200, he could get 50,000 for it.

I think it actually lost value when she signed it.
Hehe :D

-------

In all seriousness, surely if somebody actually had a million dollars and wanted an Xbox360 signed by Sarah Palin, they could get their own copy for a LOT less than a million dollars??

Brand new Xbox360 = $500 including controllers, Kinect, a few games etc.
Paying somebody to travel across the country to get her to autograph the Xbox and bring it back to you = $10,000 (you might as well pay them well for this priceless item)
Car rental/fuel/hotel = let's say $5,000 so your employee gets all the good stuff.
Other things I can't think of = $4,500 for...I dunno what.

Total cost = $20,000. So who in blazes is going to pay $1,000,000 for it?!? This guy is truly nuts, unless he doesn't actually want to sell it.

And thus is the conclusion. End of convo...

Just two questions: (1) Why would you possibly think anyone would pay $1 million for an Xbox that wasn't made of solid platinum with Diamond replacing the chrome finish? (2) Why get it signed by her? That would be like having it signed by Jack Thompson! Having her sign it should LOWER the value. In fact the only way you could lower the value any more would be if you beat it in with a baseball bat, or had Bobby Kotick sign it lol.

Reason she's being hated is because she's everything that's wrong about Republicanism and she delights in hunting wolves.

How is it WORTH 1mill in the first place? All that......(i use this term lightly) woman did was scribble on a piece of plastic casing and somehow the value goes rising up from barely 100 quid/ dollars to a million?!

If I met Palin, i'd get her to sign some truly violent videogames simply for the irony wins. I would also set a horny Koala on her whom I have named Kenneth.

Is there actually proof Sarah Palin signed it? I imagine a big clumsy 'X' in green crayon is fairly easy to fake...

I really don't get why she'd sign a video game machine, that'd be like me getting famous and having my own TV show and then letting the Daily Mail give it away with their newspaper, why would she want to be attached to something as heathen and ungodly as a games console?
Click the link and actually look at the article. It shows a picture of him having her sign it.

*sigh* that is upsettingly true.

I paid something like $699 AUS for my first Xbox 360 when the system first came out and THAT was too much.

Besides, aren't the people who vote for Palin the same kind of people who think video games are Satan's baby? This whole situation makes no sense to me...

You know what keeps the Chinese government happy every time Taiwan comes up? Saying the government IN Taiwan over the government OF Taiwan. 2 letters keeps the US away from an international crisis. A president or presidential candidate should not be prone to screwing that up, much less which Korea has been our friend for 60 years. Just saying.
Nobody is above verbal trip ups. Anyway George W. Bush was voted in twice and he was one of the worst public speakers in the recent history of presidential candidates, so people obviously don't think it's that important a quality!

But my point is that Palin is the devil incarnate, there are plenty of things she deserves to be criticised for. So let's do that rather than making huge deals out of unimportant and petty issues like this North/South Korea mistake and the fact that she used targets on her campaign map.

Man, I've seen a book signed by John Hancock go for only 25 grand, so I doubt very her signature is even worth that.

A xbox signed by somebody who has nothing to do with the system for $1.1mil? I would've thought that the price would decrease drastically cause I don't believe people would want a xbox with graffiti on it. But this isn't surprise since the person is a Sarah Palin supporter who travelled 2100 miles just to get an autograph.
I would rather spend the money buying 2000+ xboxes and then use them to make a house rather than buy this piece of junk.
Well it would be nice and warm at least.

OT: one million dollars?
over five hundred thousand real money?
It would have to be singed by all the greatest authors in history for that price, that or made of Orichalcum.
