I don’t remember for certain, but this related to either the first eBay auction listing for the sale of a Eucharistic host or the second. It was the second auction that ended since it ran it’s normal 7-day course without use of the Buy It Now feature that was used in the case of the wide-reported Iowa case of the host that sold for $2,000 but was then turned over to a monsignor in that seller’s diocese.
I will refer to the case I’m reporting on as “Host #2” which should not be confused with the other widely-reported case of a host being sold in the U.K. where the auction was cancelled by eBay. You can view my other posts for information on that one.
In this particular case the seller received complaints from some of us “hateful” Catholics and removed the host from the items being sold. The buyer did some excellent follow-up and arranged for the host to be sent to her along with the other items she purchased to ensure it would be taken care of properly. The guyer is not a member of the forums here and I met her acquaintence because I saw she had been bidding on it and I was considering bidding on it myself until I leanred her intentions were entirely appropriate. Some of us here had communicated about this auction and the buyer asked me to post her statement on this matter so that everyone could rest assured. It is also interesting to read the story to gain a better understanding of some of the evil people that are out there that were also bidding.
I will not post links to the prior posts here on the forums as they contain links to the eBay listing that can still be viewed. I’m afraid that the buyer will be swamped with e-mails if I do. The buyer had included the auction number but I’m afraid she will be swamped with e-mails as was the case of the buyer in the case of host #1 (I heard reports of something like 500 e-mails were sent to him).
