Still notice lots of items featuring Stalin and the Swastika on eBay.

Mars looks pretty good now.

What about Malcom X gear? Che gear? I bet you can sell a Soviet flag on eBay.

The Confederate Flag meant nothing until WalMart, K-Mart, and eBay started to sell it.

[b4its2late]

Wow, all jumping on the bandwagon.

ABC is pulling all Dukes Of Hazzard reruns, too!

The ebay policy re offensive material -

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/offensive.html

They specifically address Nazi-related items. Basically historically significant collectibles are allowed while Nazi propaganda is not.

Have at it:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Diorama-Accessory-1-48-Nazi-German-Flags-and-Banners-World-War-2-/151664488025?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item234fe86e59

Looks like one is not allowed to sell Nazi flags on e-Bay.

No Dukes Of Hazzard lunch boxes or model cars?

[C19fan]

Looks like Soviet propaganda is not “offensive”

I don't know who's making the decisions down at Ebay these days but they are real idiots. Lots of folks sales are down about 80% and Ebay just raised their listing fee. Computer Glitches are almost a daily occurrence. The writing is on the wall for Ebay.

Have you seen the commercials with the old Duke boys in it? The ‘General Lee’ doesn’t have a Confederate Flag on top.............................

(What about Malcom X gear? Che gear? I bet you can sell a Soviet flag on eBay.)
Excellent point. How about ISIS’s flag? Hezbollah’s?

[Red Badger]

What’s next? Israeli Flags?....................

Stone Mountain Park in Georgia is CBF up one side and down the other.
They may have to cover the carving on the mountain...
hotammiteydayum..running around pulling hair screaming the flag is gunna git ya the flag is gunna git ya
OMG Help This Country...

[HiTech RedNeck]

Could there be a “ConservaBay” that will be willing to vend “controversial” things?

If the Dixie flag is to be banned for bad things the Democrats did under it, why not ban the Democrat donkey too.

[Robert DeLong]

Hmmm, just went to ebay and searched fro confederate flag:

Where I got over 1400 hits

[headstamp 2]

I’m hearing sellers have to offer six month money back guarantees?

/src on/The carving needs to blow up like the Taliban did to the Buddhist status in Afghanistan. They could a guilt ridden white push the button. /src off/
