Allot of you have either had your auctions for UGA tickets shut down, or
seen an auction that was.  Because of this, I have decided to teach you
something about scalping tickets on ebay.  Ebay is a respectable business.
They cannot afford to be accused of allowing people to conduct illegal
activities on their site.  As such, they are very concerned with the letter
of the law.  It is illegal to sell a ticket for more than its face value.
If you sell a 20 dollar ticket on ebay for 21 dollars, both you and they are
breaking the law, and they won't allow it.  However, ebay has no problem if
you would like to sell an empty toilet paper roll for $150 and include a
free $20 football ticket.  After all, its always nice to get something for
free when you buy something.  So have fun scalping, and lets see some
creative things for sale.
