"See Things Differently Now It's Free to Sell"

2 October 2024

30s


Cost-benefit analysis.

It's now free to sell on eBay, which is great for a couple that's just moved in together. It all starts with a tiger lamp—the kind that Joe Exotic and Tony Montana would fight over in a charity shop. He loves it, she hates it, and the sooner it's listed, the better. Of course, he's spotted a few things that have outlived their shelf lives, too.

Whether it's a piece of abstract art, a bike, a toaster, or a leopard print shirt (what is it with this guy and big cats), everything has the potential to be sold on the advertised website, as shown by eBay's take on Terminator vision. Instead of vital statistics and potential threats, the couple see white-on-blue labels next to certain items.

For a moment it looks like the brand have agreed to let people sell live animals other than bait, shellfish, et cetera, but the narrator shuts it down. How much would a white Pomeranian go for, you reckon?
