Last night, the trustee liquidating Bernard Madoff's estate put the disgraced financier's Mets home opener tickets (well, the tickets are sort of the ones Madoff purchased) up for auction. However, the link from the Madoff Trustree website to the eBay auction is now invalid—the eBay page it brings up says, "This listing (170319289099) has been removed or is no longer available... If the listing was removed by eBay, consider it canceled." The listing was online last night (the bidding was at $1,700 around 11 p.m. for the pair of tickets in the Delta Club Gold section) and bidding was supposed to have ended tomorrow night. Mysterious! Update: The tickets are on eBay—the current bid is $1,500.
