I love eBay.
Despite Craigslist and a soft global economy, the Internet's wonderful, perpetual yard sale and auction house still is going strong.
Apparently, there always will be a market for used Iphones, slightly worn Ugg boots, a potato chip shaped like Jay Leno's head or a jar of wind captured during Tropical Storm Fay.
In a move as creative and "outside-the-box" as it comes, the Martin County Artificial Reef Foundation — a 501c(3) organization — is hoping the cyberspace trading post will be an avenue to raise funds for the deployment of another artificial reef project this summer.
If the final details of the bidding contract can be worked out — possibly this week — eBay window shoppers will be able to place bids on having a reef named for their choosing.
The reef builders will need a bid upward of $20,000 to get the job done. That would buy a lot of waffles displaying the shape of the Virgin Mary.
