- This is your spoiler warning! Lost was on last night, and incredibly confused. Again.
- Just because they're famous doesn't mean they're smart. Yet another case in point: Jon Schneider (Bo Duke) learned about Ebay the hard way when he put the General Lee up for auction there last week.
General Lee goes for $10 million on eBay

The General Lee broke a sales record on eBay this week. Actor John Schneider, who played Bo Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard, put up his version of the General Lee and it sold for $9,900,500. If the bidder actually pays the money, it'll be the biggest ticket item ever sold on eBay. Schneider says he's stunned, because he only expected $3 million at the most for the car. He says he'll use the extra cash for a vacation and to fund a sequel to a movie he recently made.As I mentioned earlier this week, the 1969 Dodge Charger that Schneider put up for sale was not featured in the television show, but it did make an appearance in the movie Dukes Go To Hollywood. It has signatures from all the original cast members and it actually drives! Schneider has taken it to charity events and even raced it.
What memorabilia would you pay $10 million for?
The General Lee is for sale on eBay

John Schneider appears to still be a fan of his old claim to fame, The Dukes of Hazzard, on which he played Bo Duke. He has his own "Hazzard County Store" on eBay and has put up the mother of all Dukes memorabilia for auction: It's the General Lee. The real one... well, one of the real ones. There are quite a few out there.Schneider's ad explains that the 1969 Dodge Charger appeared in the Dukes movie, not the television show. He has had it for the last ten years. Photos on the advertisement show Schneider brought it to a lot of charity events, but he also has apparently driven it in races! It also has autographs of all the living cast members of The Dukes of Hazzard. And he says that it recently won a race against the Starsky & Hutch car and the Batmobile.
The current bid for the car is $2 million, which is a hell of a lot, but at least you get to drive it!
