Two fur coats once owned by former Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon are now up for sale to the highest bidder.
The state prosecutor is selling the furs on eBay as part of a plea deal to settle Dixon's charges of embezzlement and perjury.
The coats were given to Dixon by a developer ex-boyfriend, and were seized by investigators after she failed to disclose them on city ethics forms.
The bidding has already soared to $800 for an Xbox video game system that prosecutors believe Dixon bought with gift cards intended for the needy.
The proceeds raised by the items will be given to charity.
