Sometimes I just don’t get eBay.

If I’m not going to clear at least $10 profit on an auction, why would I want to spend my time creating and monitoring the auction, replying to questions, then packing up and shipping the thing?

Case in point: Someone is auctioning off this coaster which was distributed with the launch of CBC Newsworld.

Starting bid must begin at $5.

So far, uh, no bidders.

Oh come on, you knew it had to happen.

When CBC Television sold off many of its props from the Toronto broadcast centre last June, bargain hunters and CBC employees (er, not that the two are mutually exclusive!) picked up plenty. And now, some of them are getting sold on eBay.

These two bizarre foot-high statues were, the seller claims, used on a Kids in the Hall episode. The auction ends Friday in case you’re interested.
