Did you notice the price??? Can this seller show any proof that this is what he says it is? Maybe they can get some DNA off the chair from the stain.

The chair may have been one that underlings were forced to sit in before/during torture. Ewww! The chair did not look fancy enough for Saddam's lifestyle. Inexpensive and ordinary. Did you see the throne they showed in the news in just one of the palace. Everything was pristine and opulent before the bombing/looting.
Likely, someone else was sitting in the chair when Saddan threatened them or thier family. Maybe it was Mr. Magoo, Baghdad Bob.
Or maybe someone was sitting in it when a bunker buster hit! For some reason, I find that funny!
As I remember, the auction did not say it was Saddam's personal chair.
Anyway, moot point now. Someone took away our fun. So why did Ebay remove it? I realize it may have not been in good taste, but wasn't unwashed underwear. LOL!

Maybe because it miraculously traveled from Bagdahd to Florida in merely a day and a half.... maybe because ebay didn't really think the high bidder was going to their 99 million dollar bid
