'Kenyan birth certificate' remains eBay mystery

How much would a genuine copy of President Obama's birth certificate – from a hospital in Mombasa, Kenya – be worth on the open market?

One eBay seller, known to the public only as "colmado_naranja," attempted to find out, only to be shot down by the auction website's administrators … at least four times.

The eBay seller, with a flawless track record of dozens of sales on the auction website, also claimed that he was able to obtain a genuine copy of Obama's Kenyan birth certificate and posted it for sale online, with an opening bid of $1,000 and a "buy it now" price of $1,000,000,000.

As WND reported, however, the auction was taken down again and again. Even after WND posted a story on it yesterday, including the eBay seller's explanation for why the auction was allegedly scrubbed by eBay administrators, a page offering the birth certificate for sale appeared yet a fourth time … only to disappear yet a fourth time.

And while repeated contacts have been made with colmado_naranja, the validity of his claims – as well as the document – remain a mystery, for the seller has refused to allow the document to be seen or photographed.

In the original listing, colmado_naranja explained, "I am not posting any photos of the birth certificate here on eBay. I have not seen this birth certificate anywhere on the Internet, to post it here on eBay would lead to a flood of facsimiles on the Internet. This would inadvertently decrease the value of the certificate as well."

At least one investigator, who has traveled to Africa and sought the birth certificate from the very same hospital, however, told WND he remains "skeptical" of the eBay auction's claims.

If it was real, he should post a partial image, I bet if there was any chance of this being real, a lot of media sources would pony up big bucks for it. By that this seller is so secretive, I have a feeling this is an API-esque scam.

Not to mention proving that he isn't lying through his teeth. Instead he wants someone to pay a million bucks for a pig in a poke.

My take....Hoping to get someone to sue him, so the “real” HI BC is requested in Discovery.

It is quite possible he was not born. He may have been spawned.

I've got a better question. If this is genuine, how much is this guy's life worth on the open market?

Obama’s people probably had E-Bay take off the add each time.

The authorities cannot ignore Obama’s lack of proving that he is eligible to serve as President regarding being or not being a natural born American citizen. The only information out is that Obama was born at The Coast Provincial General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya, but nobody knows where he was born in Hawaii.

I think a billion dollars might be a bit steep.

He could have posted the entire image in as much detail as possible.

This guy isn’t doing this to expose the truth about 0bama, he’s running a scam trying to make a buck, or a million.
If he could obtain a Kenyan Birth Certificate for 0bama, so could WND.

Why doesn’t Joseph Farrah track this story down on the ground in Kenya?

I’m still waiting for that look at the Ark of the Covenant WND said was coming up.
