Here's a theory.
Last few years, the big thing was being in a
social gathering and telling everyone how
you bought a book from amazon.com and
how cool it was. They would build shrines in
your name and proclaim you the most
modern with things on the net and seek
you out as a resident guru and trend expert.
This year the big thing was being able
to tell people at a social gathering
"hey I got some stuff off ebay". Anyone
saying they went to Amazon was still
living in last year's world and probably
doesn't have ICQ on their new hand held
portable PDA.
See, its all about social status and being
up to date with trends. That or I know
a bridge in Brooklyn I could sell on Ebay to them.
