The instrument panel from the Stampede Trail bus where Christopher McCandless died recently sold for $177 on eBay. The sale has generated outrage from some who see the bus as a memorial site. Pennsylvania-based investment bank analyst Bernie Maletsky says he emailed news outlets and authorities in Alaska after spotting the listing.
