I just saw
this thread in Tilted Nonsense about
this ebay auction and it got me thinking...
When I first saw the auction, I thought the guy was an idiot - and I was going to rant about the stupidity of people and mention some particularily ridiculous ebay auctions (such as selling a grilled cheese sandwich - with a bite taken out of it - for several tens of thousands of dollars, selling your soul, ect) but gave it a bit more thought...
Although I originally looked down at these people, I asked myself when the last time I made twenty grand off my half eaten sandwich was. I arrived at a sad conclusion; Never. In reality, these people may be ahead of the game - if you think about it, most things that got people incredibly wealthy were probably considered hare-brained schemes at one point. Can you imagine the inventor of the most mundane ideas trying to market them for the first time ever?
Acutally, that's getting a bit off topic - I guess I am wondering (and probably hoping) that there is one idea out there that will make me a ridiculous amount of money someday. So far, I have stuck with hard work and perseverance, but sometimes it's a bit disheartening when people seem to get so far ahead with such an off the wall (idiotic) idea.
Alright, truth be told, I'm a bit intoxicated so I'm probably rambling, but just to let you folks in on my thought process, I just decided to make this a poll.
Is ebay guy a douchebag... probably a bit too harsh. We'll say Idiot.
Bring on the discussion - It's bedtime for me
Edit: Alright, after much searching, I can't figure out how to make a poll. I'm leaning towards either because of intoxication or because they aren't allowed in general
discussion...
So, in your responses, I'd be interested in hearing if you think the fellow is clever or an idiot, that would be most excellent
