Yeah, but the problem is, there's this thing called something like the Intarwebz, and a lot more people know the value of something, so they get snagged up for flipping purposes pretty quickly, any more.
Can you do something a little less good next time? I've got "Aqualung" stuck in my head now.

Don't you start away uneasy,
You poor old sod, you see it's only me...
