"Everyone knows it was Thomas Edison invented Ebay."
NOT, Phil!
As he often did, 'Ol Tommy Edison stole the Ebay concept from Nikola
Tesla's
remarkably flawless Ebay "Coil" which would eventually be corrupted by
Edison's lesser ideas of Direct Buying as opposed to Tesla's superior
Alternating
bidding concept.
Eventually, like all that was taken and 'dumbed down' from Tesla, the
thoughts
of how 'electric' Tesla's Ebay could have been would be lamented
for generations to
come...
