Wu Wednesday - Martin Shkreli put's rare album for $1 on eBay!?
Hey killa beez!
Time for some hot tea! Two years ago former Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli bid $2 million for the secret Wu Tang album called "Once Upon A Time in Shaolin". Oh well.. it appears one of the most hated man in america listed the sole existing copy on eBay.
The 31-track double album, recorded in secret over a six-year period and stored (until "pharma boy" got his hands on it), in a vault at the Royal Mansour hotel in Marrakech, Morocco, since its completion in 2013, is up for auction.
On Tuesday, he put the album back on eBay for $1 – but as of Wednesday morning, bidding has already reached a whooping million dollars!

Interested in buying it? The shipping is rather cheap lol. Here is a link.
Shrekli says on ebay:
This is the one and only Wu-Tang album.
I decided to purchase this album as a gift to the Wu-Tang Clan for their tremendous musical output. Instead I received scorn from at least one of their (least-intelligent) members, and the world at large failed to see my purpose of putting a serious value behind music. I will be curious to see if the world values music nearly as much as I have. I have donated to many rock bands and rappers over the years to ensure they can continue to produce their art when few others would.
At any time I may cancel this sale and I may even break this album in frustration. I will donate half of the sale proceeds to medical research. I am not selling to raise cash--my companies and I have record amounts of cash on hand. I hope someone with a bigger heart for music can be found for this one-of-a-kind piece and makes it available for the world to hear.

Upon sale, I will represent & warranty any copies of the music I have will be destroyed. I have not carefully listened to the album, which is a double CD. There is also a finely crafted booklet which you can read about elsewhere. I will pay legal expenses for the buyer up to $25,000 to ensure the final purchase details are mutually agreeable.
Remember? After trump won the election, Shkreli leaked the intro track online. Just look at that face!
So I have to ask.. what do you think? Is this just a super duper petty move or does Martin wants to save his soul?
