I believe if you would "maybe" do a little oddball research on eBay you might find that $50K is peanuts compared to what people in the "Right" category may actually pay. Remember, we are talking about a medium that took a + or - $75 Tickleme Elmo and offered it for $21 million with "personal" delivery anywhere in the world. Once people become involved in the ebay auction frenzy, they often lose sight of the true value of items and in order to be the "winning bidder" will often bid an item up to MANY times more than it's actual value. That is precisely why so many people have claimed to have made fortunes on ebay. Check it out. You may only be a tweek or two away from total success with the "Kiko" offering.

Love your blog as always. I happen to be working on a project at Duke that is exploring ways to tackle effective public event calendaring using much of the social networking solutions as models. Silver bullet is to combine event, personal and "resource" scheduling or at least make each solution able to share data. Working on event first. Your post had several solutions I hadn't heard of and was very helpful. All the best. --ben Scott
