sorry i mean ebay.
every now and then i drive down towards guildford on a sunday morning and i'm always amazed by the overflow from the carpark of a massive car boot sale that hosts several thousand people who have come along to sift through other people's crap. but now i know where these people are during the rest of the week. they're on ebay, the digital world's repository for everything you've never wanted and so much more.
one thing i did notice is that you've really got to keep your eye on your bid because my bid for some blokes soul on his passing was pipped in the final hour when i was away from my computer. that pissed me off a lot as i had been in the lead for 4 days.
but the beauty of this is that now i know there are people willing to pay their hard earned money for the contents of my loft, no matter how obscure the detritus, happy days.
Is there an ebay millionaire yet?
