Once a hustler, always a hustler? As Real Housewives of Atlanta star Apollo Nida comes close to finalizing a plea deal with the U.S. government in his identity theft and fraud case, Breaking Celebrity News has learned that he's still scrambling to make a few bucks-- by selling autographs on his website for the bargain basement price of $6.99!

Nida has been tweeting up a storm recently advising fans to purchase the new "Phine Body Apollo Autograph Card" with his photo and signature from his website for "Only $6.99" plus shipping and handling.

Meanwhile, his wife Phaedra Parks is busy promoting her own projects. As Breaking Celebrity News has reported, she's been on an extensive book tour for her advice guide Secrets of a Southern Belle ever since Nida was arrested -- despite the fact that the book came out last fall.
