Joe Exotic's pink sequin shirt from 'Tiger King' closed on eBay at over $10k, but it wasn't for real.
uttered the famous line,"I am never gonna financially recover from this," on 'Tiger King' ... which is probably how the owner of one of Joe's flamboyant shirts feels after he got hoodwinked on eBay.
It was almost official -- the pink sequin button-up top Joe wore on episode 2 of the Netflix docuseries closed on the auction site Friday at $10,400 after receiving 43 bids from 21 bidders. The opening bid was $650 on April 12, but things really escalated in the final 2 days., tells TMZ ... the winner of the auction claims he was hacked and not bidding himself, and will not be paying for the shirt.
Baran's still hoping to turn a big profit on the item, though ... he's now re-listed the piece of Exotic memorabilia at a buy-now price of $10,300 -- or best offer -- until May 17.We broke the story ... Vince told us he came across the Exotic artifact when he noticed Joe's old stomping grounds, The Greater Wynnewood Zoo, was selling several of his shirts on Facebook., who now runs the zoo -- for just $100, and he was initially hoping to get $650 or more for it ...
So, cashing out at above $10k would have been an unprecedented new high -- that's enough to buy a few tigers cubs, after all -- and as the saying goes ... if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
