- Item pulled from eBay less than 24 hours after listed
- Item "insensitive to victims of disasters, tragedies"
- Suppression order lifted for Snowtown bodies
ONLINE auction site eBay has withdrawn the Snowtown Bank from sale less than 24 hours after real estate agent Nigel Christie listed it.
In emails and conversations with the Hales Real Estate director, eBay said the item was removed because the site deemed it "inappropriate or insensitive to victims of disasters or tragedies".
But Mr Christie said the bank and house were a legitimate sale and questioned why the property was removed when books about the serial killings and DVDs of the film Snowtown, which was partly filmed in the bank, were allowed to remain.
The reserve is $200,000. He hoped to have it reinstated.
The Snowtown Bank became infamous when police discovered eight bodies in barrels inside the bank's vault in 1999.�
