Why are Valleywag readers so bitter about everything? I thought working in the Valley was the greatest thing EVER.

We get paid an assload of money (not really) to work at cutting edge companies (5 years ago), have affordable housing ($600k for 1,00 sq. ft.), have a 5 to 1 girl to guy ratio (other way around), and no traffic (takes me 1 hour to go 14 miles).

Cheer up losers!

@sample032: Or we saw it in the first. The dude was practically a walking pawn shop.

@FlakJack: Maybe we'll see it in the next cracked.com "Internet Party".

Boy, that makes great sense.

People can put the crap they don't want on eBay, where they'll pay higher fees to sell to people who aren't buying because they don't have any fraking money either.

What a plan. Maybe they should auction it off.

@raincoaster: PS what am I offered for New Teen Titans #1 in near-mint condition?

@FlakJack: You beat me to it. Just like a pawn shop, only with hidden fees and a built-in waiting period.

I'd love to see this 'pawnshop to the world' positioning play out in new TV spots. Instead of cute babes sporting kicky dresses, we can enjoy dirgelike montages of people posting an auction with one hand while staving off bill collectors with the other. Gonna be awesome.
