In March 2010 I auctioned Identity on eBay.
Winning bid: US $15.48

Item description:

The value of this item has been steadily appreciating, as evidenced by the ever-increasing degree to which is now sold, adopted, reinvented, and stolen.  Therefore the buyer should either prepare to vigilantly safeguard this item or be indifferent about losing it.  Recent events have altered this item to such a degree for the seller that he is now compelled to cash it in.

This item is an ongoing work in progress.  In early stages it can be especially irregular, tending to stabilize over time.  In rare cases this item appears constant and unchanging throughout the life of its owner.  Even when seeming stable, however, the buyer should note that this item can be very elusive and subject to dramatic change.  Such changes are often due to circumstances far beyond the owner's control.

It's also not uncommon for owners of this item to intentionally alter it.  While some have found the item to be a bottomless "gold mine", its attributes or perceived value can never be completely controlled. Certain owners have more motivation and facility for manipulating this item than others.

It has been well established that this item can never be understood with any certainty.  Due to its highly variable nature, this item is often not what it appears to be, even to those who are adept at controlling or evaluating it.  Conversely, this item can also be exactly what it seems.  The buyer should note that the two preceding qualities are not mutually exclusive.

The seller is especially motivated to divest himself of this item due to the uncertainty around what will result from getting rid of it.  The seller currently finds  this uncertainty attractive.

The buyer will receive a signed, archival certificate of ownership, pictured above.
