Desperate, desperate, desperate...

From SFGate.com:
In his Cincinnati speech, Cheney said indicators that measure the nation's unemployment rate, consumer spending and other milestones miss the hundreds of thousands who make money selling online on eBay.

"That's a source that didn't even exist 10 years ago," Cheney said. "Four hundred thousand people make some money trading on eBay."
Granted there are people who do make a living selling stuff on eBay--are there really any more of them, relatively, than there were 20 years ago selling out of the back pages of Goldmine and the Comic Book Buyer's Guide and the like? Are they making more and better money?
