May Bob Dobbs sing an \u2018Ave\u2019 for my soul, but I love writing purple ad copy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And so, if copy is your thing, you find yourself selling your crap on eBay and Craigslist.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve tried this, but on eBay, you need to be somewhat circumspect.\u00a0 Reputable.\u00a0 Legal, even.\u00a0 And that\u2019s fine.\u00a0 It\u2019s OK.\u00a0 Nice.\u00a0 Even lucrative, sometimes.\u00a0 I once wrote such a glowing recommendation on eBay for a 0.25 cent US quarter, it sold for $25.\u00a0 It was that good.\u00a0 But it wasn\u2019t purple.<\/p>\n
Craigslist, though \u2013 they built Craigslist for me.\u00a0 It\u2019s one of life\u2019s little pleasures.\u00a0 You really don\u2019t have to tell anyone anything on Craigslist.\u00a0 You can staple a copy of your poetic license to their terms of use policy \u2013 “caveat emptor, biatch.”<\/p>\n
The other day, I sold a file cabinet that SOBUMD wasn\u2019t using any more.\u00a0 I suppose it only needed to say \u201cfile cabinet for sale.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
