Along similar lines, there have been a couple eBay auctions that got shut down in short order over the years that were for the sale of pieces of Gordon Smiley's Indy Car in which he was fatally injured. Smiley's fatal crash at Indianapolis is well known in racing for how brutal the crash was and how the car absolutely disintegrated upon impact.
I have been a huge racing fan my whole life and I remember seeing posts on a couple different racing boards over the years about how disgusting it was to see such a thing up on eBay.
