Proceeds from the sale, Zimmerman wrote, will be used to “fight [Black Lives Matter] violence against Law Enforcement officers, ensure the demise of [Zimmerman’s prosecuting attorney] Angela Correy’s [sic] persecution career and Hillary Clinton’s anti-firearm rhetoric.”I imagine he'll get a fair amount of money for that piece of junk he was carrying, given how much people will enjoy pulling those particular chains.
Is this troll year in American politics? It must be troll year.

This is a classic! And would be a standard type of action for the left. They are unused to the opposition using this sort of response, however. The other side of the sword is being sharpened.
It looks like Gunbroker pulled the auction (for which I can certainly not blame them).
aaaugh, the fun was just getting started!
I heard it was back up again.
Well, given that Zimmerman would never have been charged, hell nobody would have heard of it, had he been named Jorge Carpintero, just like nobody has heard of Roderick Scott and Michael Cervini, I say let him troll away.
I have discussed more than once why we all pick the wrong hills to die on. No reasonable activist for African-American causes would have picked Trayvon as his poster child, and no reasonable reverse-racism crusader would have picked Zimmerman. But that is precisely why they were picked. Like the Nigerian email scams that want to locate the absolute suckers rather than the merely curious, so political causes want to identify who's going to be in the foxhole with you, even when you are a little nuts.
Apparently, during the initial effort to auction the piece, bids reached $65 million. That personage--using the pseudonym Racist McShootface should be tracked down and required to make good on his commitment. Or do time in the slammer for his fraud.

Failure to pay in an online auction doesn't constitute fraud, unless the tendered payment fails to clear after the item is shipped. Bids that are not honored on eBay, for example, at worst become a single negative feedback. At worst, a history of negative feedbacks can cause an account to be banned by eBay, but with a new email address, such a person could easily create a new account. I'm not sure I'd like the government to punish people for bad bids on a private electronic auction site (so long as no goods actually change hands, that is... theft by deception should, of course, remain a crime).
