Architectural glass

This auction shows the genius of eBay.

The seller is trying to get rid of 6 huge sheets of blue glass that probably came from a railway station. They have no idea of the provenance, no idea what to do with them and no way of shifting them should anyone actually want them.

But the auction is attracting attention and hits.

In situations like this, it isn't about money. This is about all those things you throw away and think "there's some value in that - surely somebody must want it". Even if you can't immediately think what that value might be. eBay gives you a way -through the sheer volume of traffic it attracts, of testing that point of view.
