Interesting social experiment taking place here. Not entirely sure it will work, but good effort. Awkwardprice is a buzzy viral experiment where advertisers catch the attention of the public by paying crazy money for common and worthless items sold on Ebay (forks, clothespins, etc.).

Check out the current Ebay auction. $29 for a paperclip, and then an ad on the site associated with the auctions.

It’s pretty genius, I think. And all it needs it the right buzz to be generated and I’m pretty sure it will take off. I mean, if they’re selling “Nothing” on Ebay can generate $10,600 so far with 7 days still left to go on the bid, I’d say they’ve got something here! I mean, come on! They’re selling NOTHING! Whaa? I’m out done. Wish I had thought of it.
