Of course the highest bidder just gets a regular Trump bible from the warehouse,
not the one from the inauguration.

Sadly while the classic provides metaphors for hope, love and fear, for most people Donvict elicits only fear.

The Constitution does not say what the swearing-in must include. While most Presidents-elect chose a Bible, as George Washington did, John Quincy Adams used a book of law, and Teddy Roosevelt did not use any book.
