An Internet Marketing Tutorial for the rest of us

What ELSE can you buy on EBAY???

What follows is an example of an article marketing. The first part is something interesting from Yahoo! news, the second is my opinion and conclusion.

Yahoo! news just reported that a businessman from China bought a MIG fighter jet on EBAY. He allegedly is going to use it to decorate his office.

The plane, last flown in 1995, is currently housed in Idaho and is in "excellent condition" and was retired by the Czech military.

The buyer, Zhang Cheng, doesn't even know if he can legally get the plane into China.

I, for one, am a little concerned about this transaction. I realize there's no government body regulating EBAY, but I'm not so sure there shouldn't be.

This transaction sounds like it could precipitate global conflict:

A. The plane was made by the USA
B. The plane was used by Chechnya
C. Who knows what the Chinese might use it for

Despite some reports to the contrary, I believe theirs is still a top-down society, where government reigns supreme. I believe they just sentenced someone to 10 years in jail because of an internet posting! Even busnessmen are government agents!

Henc, with a MIG fighter plane, the Chinese could easily head over to Iraq or Iran and stir up some trouble.

Which leaves me to ask, what ELSE can you buy on EBAY? How many illegal items are there for sale under the guise of seemingly innocent things? Not that I think there should be dictatorial control over EBAY, but there should be some sort of rules. If not the rule of common sense!
