At any rate, It's no so much siding with this guy as it is seeing it for what it truly is. In a fully capitalist society, this is more or less common, just to varying degrees. The "Pet Rock" was a ridiculous industry for those stoned enough to buy them. Oddly enough, no matter how many people felt "had" when they sobered up a bit, it was just business as usual. If I put up for bid a napkin. I say, "Hey, this is a napkin!" and someone chooses to bid US$100 for it, I'm not going to disuade them. If they read more into it than that, that is not my fault. That's part of a bidding system. If I had the same napkin for sale at a store for US$100, chances are nobody would ever buy it. *shrug* The joys of Ebay, bringing stupid people's wallets to anyone anywhere.
