Clinton Library On Auction Block [View All]

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (CAP) - Rumors of financial difficulties within the Clinton presidential campaign gained credibility today when officials for the online auction site eBay confirmed that a listing placing the William J. Clinton Library up for sale was not a hoax.

"We've been in contact with the seller and can confirm that the auction is indeed legitimate and within our listing guidelines," said an eBay spokeswoman. "eBay is proud to be the official lister for this historic sale."

According to the online description, the auction's collections include 76.8 million pages of paper documents, 1.85 million photographs and tens of thousands of museum artifacts from the eight years of the William J. Clinton presidency.

Special exhibits such as the 19th Century Antebellum Erotica Collection, a Waco diorama and replicas of both the Oval Office and Cabinet Room are also included in the auction price.

"It certainly is a first, although I understand that Richard Nixon almost lost his library in a poker game in 1977," said noted White House historian Dr. Cecil Melon. "I think it sets a bad precedent, to be honest. These are supposed to be sacrosanct institutions, living representations of historical periods, priceless heirlooms.
