"You can't have everything. Where would you put it?" —Steven Wright, Comedian

Writing in Newsweek, 6/17/2002 p. 52, Jerry Adler describes in his article on the The eBay Way of Life the result of an eBay auction: 

  "By definition, though, we both would have gotten something we wanted, increasing by some tiny increment the sum total of happiness in the world—mine, his and that of Pierre Omidyar, the young engineer who founded eBay in his apartment in 1995 on the premise that the Internet is the perfect device for the second most important form of human convergence, the meeting of buyers and sellers."

"After a time you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing as wanting. It is not logical but it is often true." —Mr. Spock, Star Trek, 1960's episode

But collecting too much stuff is nothing new,
" Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. ... " —Matt. 6:19
