I was just looking at the Yahoo Auctions and an interesting banner caught my eye. Win your share of $30,000 in the PayDirect sweepstakes. Where did that money come from? And why can't they use it to advertise for buyers? Wouldn't that be a better use for the money?

30 thousand dollars wouldnt buy them a grunt from the town crier at 1 AM in the morning in a town with a population of 5.
These radio ads they are running them are costing in the hundereds of thousands of dollars for 15 seconds or so of ad time per ad per play per channel its heard on pluss the cost to make the ads.

I advertised for buyers after I won $100. I told all my friends to go check out Yahoo auctions... and can you believe I won that money. It was great word of mouth advertising. Must not have worked well enough though.
