Most people on Craigslist think their "stuff" is worth a lot more than
it really is.

There is an O'Reilly eBay Hacks book out there....

It's amazing to me the number of jobs in Monster for businesses
looking for people to do eBay "stuff".  Of the 268 jobs that show up
with a search for "eBay", about 100 of them are actual eBay/PayPal

search engines" stoop for business), but even so...
