The perfect summer job.

These kids have the perfect summer job: they’re netting $4000 a week by selling items they’ve found while playing Diablo 2 online. That’s right, they’re selling imaginary items, software codes, for real cash via eBay. What I think is beautiful is that this is truly as close as you can get to real-life dungeon crawling. These kids slog through virtual dungeons, recover treasure, and sell it at the market, just like I did back in the AD&D days.

What upsets me, though, is that I just found a circlet on eBay that sold for $40 — the same circlet I dumped to save room in my inventory.
