Strange delight: I feel a curious sense of satisfaction about an ebay sale I just made. I sold an invitation to join Google's gmail service for $70. It seems interesting that someone is willing to pay money for something that, if you think about it, does not exist: an invitation.
The sales of Gmail invitations on ebay look like a bubble to me: people willing to pay outrageous prices for blatantly overpriced goods. Is 1 Gb of storage really worth $70?
