He Be eBay’in’ It A Little Too Much
Okay, so I was bored. So, I started scanning eBay, as I can for hours and hours if left alone too long, and I started noticing patterns in the images as they appeared next to each auction item.
Kinda kyute, right? A few pages later:
And then:
Just so you don’t think I’ve started cross-dressing, I was looking for a “chandelier” and apparently, there’s crap costume jewelry that’s also called chandelier-style, so it came up in the search. What I want with a chandelier, I don’t really know, come to think of it, I only like the ones that cost thousands and thousands of dollars and, for that kind of money, I can hire someone to walk around in a leather thong, holding a really big candle. But, I digress. What’s so cool about this is that the auction listing are from different sellers, positioned in the way you see them, by software at eBay, without human intervention. So, there is randomness in the unsold junk of the unwashed masses after all. And in that, I find beauty.
