Another plane sold:
“That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay.” - Sarah Palin, at the RNC.
“You know what I enjoyed the most? She took the luxury jet that was acquired by her predecessor and sold it on eBay - made a profit,” John McCain said, introducing Palin.
Palin did place it on eBay, all right. Alaska had paid $2.7 million for it for her predecessor, and she put it up for $2.5 million. It didn’t sell. The state withdrew it, and sold the thing for a $500,000 loss to a private jet broker. Not at a profit, as per McCain’s story. Glad he’s on top of things…
