Despite the decision earlier this week that O.J. Simpson’s book, “If I did It,” would not be published, bidders lapped up the book on eBay today before the auction site decided to pull it.

The book, which tells how Simpson would have killed Nicole Brown-Simpson and her partner Ron Goldman, if he actually had killed them, was also to be followed by a two-part interview with Simpson to air on FOX next week. The TV special was also cancelled on Monday.

According to Reuters, the publishers of the book say they will find and destroy all copies of it, however that didn’t stop one copy from appearing on eBay, racking up over 50 bids, totalling nearly $2,000 in two hours before the site pulled the sale.

Also today, Simpson confirmed to a radio station he was paid to do the book, but would not confirm an amount.
