Salahis Struggle to Sell Autographs on eBay

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 7th 2010 11:57AM

Ever since Michaele and Tareq Salahi crashed a White House party in 2009, they've been flirting with marginal fame (infamy?), but now they can't even sell a dozen autographs.

After offering up 200 signed pictures of themselves on eBay (at a whopping $100 each) two weeks ago, only two people have forked over the dough for their prized signatures, AP reports.

According to their publicist, Kenny Fried, the couple from 'Real Housewives of D.C.' slashed the price down to $50 after failing to sell any in the first week. The couple was selling the autographs to pay back some debt Tareq owed to his publicity firm for their services after his company, Americas Polo Cup, filed for bankruptcy on Sept. 13.

According to Fried, the couple is unsure what to do with the autographs if they don't sell.

"There's 198 left," he said. "We might use them for wallpaper."

Michaele had better luck selling the red sari she wore to the White House party she and her husband snuck into, selling it to their salon stylist, James Packard-Gomez, for $7,000. Eighty percent of the proceeds from the sari went to charity.

It's anyone's guess what they'll try to sell next!

And this is a shock to them?? Who would buy a picture of them are they crazy.

By ruby

Aren't their 15 mins up already? Why do they think people want their autograph?! They are not stars nor athlete's but an older version of 'Speidi'. They bought the two pics on Ebay themselves obviously. Such pathetic Loser's.

By themeeker

These terroristic dimwits really don't have a shred of dignity. It's enough with them. They're done. They need to go far, far away.

By georgie

You are so right. Seriously, who would want anything from these wannabe's? There fifteen minutes are up, please let them crawl back under their rock, now!

By Chris

Anyone who buys a photo of them needs to have their head examined.

These worthless signatures are not even suitable for toilet paper. These people are done with; ignore them.

By JEB BUCKINGHAM

These people are meglomaniacs. And they are living in Fantasy Land. Why would ANYBODY want to BUY the autographs of two people who crashed a White House party where they weren't invited or wanted?

By X-JerseyGuy

Please!!! Give US a break! Put these 2 in JAIL where they belong! Then they can wallpaper their cells with them.

By dmm

Um hello! In the photo slide show of "Housewives", the woman tagged as "Bethanny Frankel" in the two photographs with Giorgio Gucci IS NOT Bethanny Frankel!! Really, great reporting guys! Keep up the good work and attention to detail!
