3/31    I just saw the world's largest diamond auction on TV, featuring a
        relatively symmetrical well proportioned but otherwise really flat
        & plain looking Asian woman holding the diamond up for photographers.
        You know, if I were to auction the world's largest diamond,
        I'd feature nice busty Irish+German woman instead. Why? Because
                \_ Dude, no one would notice the freakin' diamond, with
                   a woman like that.  You WANT a plain background so
                   as not to distract people from the main event.
        their big round blue eyes & long eye lashes complement the sparkle
        of the world's biggest diamond 1000% better than Asian girls who look
        like little boys and in fact do have little boy figures. It's way
        beyond me why the seller featured an Asian women.
                                        -Irish+German women #1 fan
        \_ JACKIE JOHNSON!!! Big robust white women rule!
        \_ Consider who the market for this diamond might be.
           \_ White software engineers?
           \_ Arab princesses?
              \_ Arab princes.
                 \_ They like blonde chicks, not Asians.

8/25    What's the best way to get a domain name that is about to expire?
        \_ It's called backordering.  It used to be fixed priced but now
           they're trying to auction them.  Still a good deal though.

5/13    "Jasper Johns' 'Flag' fetches $28.6M at NYC auction"
        http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100512/ap_on_en_ot/us_crichton_art_auction
        Why on earth is this painting worth $28.6M?  The idea was just painting
        a copy of the US flag, and the technique looks high-school quality to
        me.
        \_ It's worth $28M because a lot of people think it is. You may not

10/3    Question about eBay. Say there are two accounts (A and B) bidding
        on one item. Starting price is $10, and A bids $50. Then B bids
        $55. The price is so high, no one else bids on the item. Then
        for some reason A retracts the bid. Does the bid go back to $10?
        \_ I don't think you can retract a bid that isn't winning the item.
           And there are lots of auctions that work like ebay does.  Google
