Going, Going, Gone

Part of my job is to put stuff on eBay. If I'm really busy and Franz can't wait 10 minutes to get a product on there, he will do the listing himself. Now, he does a crappy job of making the listings look nice, but I can get past that. You don't have to venture very far on eBay to find listings far crappier. My beef comes from the fact that when he does it, he adds all the bells and whistles they charge extra for, making a listing that could be made for $10 cost between $80 and $100. So he gets all full of himself when we sell 20 pieces of a $15 item, not caring that we barely turned a $40 profit for the whole effort.

That's how it runs here, all about sales, no concern about profit. Franz is the same guy that, when the eBay program was young, listed 1,000 pieces of a super-hot product despite the fact that we had none in stock and weren't going to be getting any for a month. He's a smart one.
