Winter Posts -- Connecting E-bay to AWOL *Re-do

Lets see, Ebay is basically for spending money , making money , buying junk you don't need , buying junk you need and buying things for history assignments. Anyone can see the clear connection to America and it's number one priority: Capitalism. This website shows the buyer first hand exactly how America works. There was something that I noticed from when I was watching the bracelet. The price kept going up and the supply was low, there was only one bracelet which shows scarcity, because both bidders wanted one item and there wasn't enough of it to go around. But what I thought was more interesting was the sneakiness of the entire operation. This constant fight between two Americans no doubt went back and forth and they would, from what I could see, only bid just enough money to be above of the opponent.

This made me think about corporate America and all the possible sneaky tricks that they could be using to get over on all of their opponents. This website, as pathetic as it may be to some shows down to the "T" how capitalism works. It shows how people get over on other people just to save a few bucks and get what you want. Its sad that a single website can depict a whole nation.
