On each desk of the computer lab is a coupon with the following words:

$25.00 good for use on Ebay.com

Once everyone had taken their seat, Abby came up to the front and grinned. "Today you're going to go shopping in what amounts to a great big yard sale. Only with a more crap and less lemonade stands."

"Ebay is a network of people who are offering their crap up to sell by auction. You enter in a bid for the item and then wait to see if you win it. If someone else is interested in the item, there might be a bidding war." Abby sighed. "Which means you'll spend an entire day refreshing and bidding just to lose the red leather dog collar for a measly 25 cents at the last second!"

Abby growled and shook her head. "Lousy btrwmnfan83! I'll get you one of these days!"

"Uh...anyways, you're all going to bid on items. Keep a close eye and make sure you don't get outbid and..." Abby smiled happily. "...you get to keep whatever you buy!"

[ooc: For the purpose of the class, you're going to be bidding on items that close their auction within the hour. Feel free to try and outbid other players and/or leave them comments.]

btrwmnfan83 says: "My sick aunt got cancers from Katrina! Plus she's blind."

The bid is now $27.50.

"It's both. So my grandmother with the cancers will tell my aunt that it's a regular glass and then she'll DIEOMG!"

The bid is now $30.25

"Well when I win it for the victims of Katrina I'll make sure it gets mailed to them."

The bid is now $30.75

"If you let me win it, I'll send you my collection of Space Battle spoons. Promise."

"I already have all the Space Battle spoons. So there!"

"My spoons were all licked by the cast!"

Mine are all licked and autographed by the cast and is in a custom made collectors case built by Norm Abrams but to George Lucas's specific specifications. Norm also wore a Space Battles T-shirt when he built in on episode #720 of the New Yankee Workshop.

"I'll give you twenty bucks for it."

WeeJamie says: Tell you what... Let me have the drinking glasses and I'll ship them to you free of charge.

"Awesome! I'll withdraw my bid!"

"VICTORY IS MINE!" Jamie shouted along with a couple of woots. There might have been some fists waving in the air as well.

Abby walked and over and peered at the screen. "What did you buy?"

"A full set of Space Battles drinking glasses from Burger King," Jamie replied.

"Seriously?" Abby grinned. "I'm impressed, those things are usually in high demand."

"And totally worth it. My other self wouldn't let me bring them to Fandom so I'll be able to rub it in his face since his are all chipped and scratched."

"Collectibles and a chance for smugness." Abby smiled. "It doesn't get better than that."

"Well it does but that's usually not a topic I bring up with my professors."

Abby laughed and nodded. "Boundries are a good thing to have."
