An Orland Park, Illinois, man who bid $20,000 for ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s Elvis statue said he was relieved to lose when he found an identical statue for $550. J.R. Bramlett, 67, said he bid $20,000 for the statue in the August 19th auction in Arlington Heights, which was held after Blagojevich’s campaign organization failed to pay back rent on a storage space, but he was outbid by $500. Bramlett said he was relieved to lose when he discovered he could buy an identical statue for $550 from a Texas seller and similar statues with different poses for the same price.
