There is a company called AuctionDrop that has a location near my house. Basically, they'll sell your stuff on eBay for you and take a cut. But this morning, on my way to work, I saw a billboard for the local NBC station, and "AuctionDrop Live!" - the billboard proclaims:

All the excitement of eBay on live TV!!

Uhhh. Yeah. I'm excited when I buy stuff on eBay, but eBay live? Umm... not quite my idea of exciting TV...

Actually, that sounds like an interesting idea. If they can have a fishing channel... why not an auction channel?
