Tim, There is no law that allows you to actually pay your bids, though. I have been the beneficiary of many reneges on Ebay. I put in a lowball bid and somebody beats me. Then they don't pay up. So, the seller contacts me and asks if I'm willing to pay the winning bid price. Which I'm not. But I may be willing to pay a lower price and the seller seems to be fairly receptive to a haircut that comes with a Paypal the same day. <g> Ah, the techniques of the truly cheap.

That probably works out to about $125,000 per pound. Or $7,800 per ounce. Is she fungible? Maybe I could buy a little of her dandruff for $100.

Holiday scene: my wife just called me to report that outside the grocery store there was an Asian man in a Santa Claus suit ringing a bell for the Salvation Army and calling out, "Happy Hanukkah!"
