Cliff Notes of an eBay shaggy dog story:
Guy in Michigan has old motorless junker '63 Pontiac Tempest.
Thinks about hauling it to the scrapyard to collect $200 recycle value, but scrap steel price drops. Instead, puts it on eBay.
10 days later guy collects check for $226, 521.63.

Of course we can't forget to pay Uncle Sam his capital gains tax....

Holy moly! Too bad my crappy old '71 MGB got sold before eBay even existed. Heck, I think I even sold it before Al Gore invented the internet ;-)
