Got this from eBay…

Dear xyz,

We all get gifts that just aren’t right, it could be the size, the colour, or the gift itself. This year, leave your gifts in the shrink wrap.

From 8 – 9 January 2011, you can list your Brand New unwanted gifts for FREE starting at 99c or less.

Use the money you make to buy yourself a Brand New gift that you really want.

Clever you!

Wow – how cynical is that?

Then again, I hear that the cost of unwanted Christmas presents is estimated to be in the billions…Maybe there’s something better that could be done with these though?

- give them away to charity

- create an exchange for people to swap things

- create a way for people to find out and get something more meaningful from the start (seems obvious)

- combine them all together…

There’s a business that I think would take off…

What do you think?
