We live in a consumerist, market-driven world, where everything has a price. So why not sell you thoughts to the highest bidder?

We all know the expression "a penny for your thoughts", but it seems that the old proverbs haven't kept pace with inflation. Why not use the latest pricing model to determine what your thoughts are truly worth?

I'm talking, of course, about eBay. So I have decided to start auctioning off my "thought of the day", as follows: You bid for my thoughts, and when I receive the winning bid, I will tell you my thought at that exact time, to nearest second.

Maybe it's worth only a penny, but maybe it's worth more. In the era of cut-throat competition, can you really relax, knowing that your competitors might outbid you? Stay tuned.
