Sarah Palin apparently didn't sell the jet on e-bay

Palin got a big laugh-line when, during her speech on Wednesday, she grinned impishly and squeaked that she had sold the governor's private jet on e-bay. Like much of the rest of Palin's speech, this was not actually true:

The state has tried selling its unwanted jet online four times and failed. So last week, the Palin administration signed a contract with an Anchorage aircraft broker who thinks he can succeed where eBay couldn't The eBay thing didn't work out very well, said Dan Spencer, director of administrative services for the Department of Public Safety. He's the person charged with trying to get rid of the infamous Westwind II.
