Max Sanders

Max P. Sanders (born October 3, 1988) is an American pop culture icon and noted “eBay-er”. Summer of 2008, he was infamously charged with bribery, treating, and soliciting, a felony.

Max Sanders asked for 10 dollars on eBay in exchange for the promise that he would cast his vote for the candidate of the buyers choosing. His crime fell under an 1893 state law that prohibits the buying or selling of one's vote. When asked about this incident, Sanders reportedly said, “It was a joke; it's no longer listed.” It was the first case of its kind to make national news in recent history and was followed by numerous ‘copy-cat’ cases, including a noted case in Oregon.

Max Sanders graduated in 2006 from Edina High School in Edina, Minnesota. He also attended Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in The Bronx, New York. Sanders is currently a 3rd year journalism student at the University of Minnesota. He currently resides in the Dinkytown neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
