Bidding Is Up to Nearly $8,000 in Rand Paul's Auction of Hillary Clinton's Book

Sen. Rand Paul's auction of Hillary Clinton's book "Hard Choices" — which he billed as "a great fiction book" on his campaign website and signed with a biting note to the Democratic presidential candidate — was up to nearly $8,000 on eBay Thursday afternoon.

Clinton had a go at the GOP candidates who doubted her competency as secretary of state by sending them all copies of "Hard Choices," along with the following note:

So Paul shot back, putting his "Hard Choices" copy up for auction with goodies that make it a "one of a kind" buy.

Here's an image of the page announcing its sale along with Paul's handwritten message on the title page of "Hard Choices":

"Hillary, Your refusal to provide security for our mission in Benghazi should forever preclude you from higher office! Rand Paul."

While the auction — which is being administered on eBay — doesn't close until Saturday, bidding for the augmented copy of "Hard Choices" hit a cool $7,950 on Thursday afternoon after beginning at $250 on Wednesday. The maximum bid is $15,000.

The winning bidder will also get a copy of Paul's book, "Taking a Stand."
