eBay Removes Auction of Rex Heuermann’s Vietnam-Era Jeep for Policy Violation

A family representative is working with eBay to adjust the listing to comply with its violent-criminals rules after bids on the jeep and trailer surpassed $7,500.

Overview

  • The auction included a 1972 M151A2 Army jeep and a 1963 military cargo trailer that prosecutors returned to Heuermann’s family after deeming them non-evidentiary.
  • eBay took down the listing roughly 11 hours into the weeklong auction, citing its policy against items connected to violent criminals.
  • Bids had climbed above $7,500 when the removal occurred, and the anonymous seller plans to revise the listing to meet platform requirements.
  • All proceeds are designated for Heuermann’s ex-wife, Asa Ellerup, and the buyer must collect the items in Suffolk County, New York.
  • Rex Heuermann remains jailed at Suffolk County’s Riverhead facility as he awaits trial on seven Gilgo Beach murder charges.
