I just read about the passing of Elizabeth Taylor. I'll have to admit, I've only seen one or two of her films, so I know very little of her work (recommendations welcomed!).
This post is less about Ms. Taylor and more about the feeding frenzy now going on Ebay. As of 3:45 PM today, 115 pages of goods. Yes, we have:
- Tribute t-shirts
- Barbie dolls
- Autographs ranging from $10 to $2,500 - mostly fake I'm sure
- Ice cream caps
- Maltese dog ornaments
- Birthday programs (did you ever have a program for your b-day?)
- Beanie baby bears
I'm sure as the evening goes on, the number of items will only increase. The free market in action, that's for sure.
Kids, buyer beware. And Ms. Taylor, rest in peace.
