Yeah, but who had the better ice cream? -): As much as an advocate for free markets as I am, I'll tell you where your idea doesn't work. I once got a pair of tickets for the Montreal Expos from a friend who couldn't go to the game. And I didn't really want to go but I wasn't above selling the tickets. So I went to where the scalpers congregate outside the stadium and when a buyer approached and a scalper went up to him to negotiate, I thought the "spirit" of open-pit bidding-and-selling that we are all familiar with from film clips of stock traders would prevail. How stupid of me. When the negotiations were going on, I offered my tickets for less than the other scalper was offering them for. And when I made the deal, I came within a hair's width of getting the shit kicked out of me. ------------------------ Yahoo!
