Abby greeted the class with a flash from the digital camera she held. "I hope everyone got the handwavy email I sent asking you to bring an item to sell. If not, you've got to pick something that you have on you."

Abby directed each of the students over to a section of the lab that she set up for taking pictures. "Once we've got your pictures uploaded you've got to come up with a good description for your item. You have to balance powerful 'selling words' with not totally lying. It should be fun."

"After you've done that, feel free to shop as you watch the bids roll in."

Mac made her way up to Abby, pulling an MP4 player out of her pocket. "Cheap freebie," she said by way of explaination. "It's not even a named make. Still, someone might pay money for it."

"Technology sells quick." Abby nodded and took a few quick shots. "Even crappy technology."

"The fact it looks quite shiny (http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/9527/usingmp4jw0.jpg) and new will probably help." Mac said turning it over in her hands. "People are easily swayed to buying pretty things."

"Shiny equals fast selling item!" Abby grinned. "Now you just need to extoll it's virtues."
