Lehman workers selling stuff on EBay
From Bloomberg News
Lehman Bros. Holding Inc.’s bankruptcy has sent employees to EBay auction sites to offer knickknacks, memorabilia and even parting shots.
One employee was selling a Lehman water bottle.
Chief Executive Richard Fuld “told me this brand-new, never-used bottle is unbreakable, but he also said that about our mortgage business two months ago,” the seller wrote on the website.
Bidding on the green bottle with a black cap started Monday at 99 cents and climbed to at least $20.50.
“Own a piece of financial history,” wrote the seller of a Lehman fire safety team hat. “Please give this hat a nice home.”
Bidding rose to at least $31.
