"The eBay thing didn't work out very well," said Dan Spencer of Alaska's Department of Public Safety, who is charged with trying to unload the Westwind II.

The aircraft cost Alaskan taxpayers about $2.6 million, the Anchorage Daily News reported Sunday. Gov. Sarah Palin beat Murkowski in last year's Republican primary with a campaign promise to sell the plane, which was purchased over the objections of the state Legislature.
