The Cult of Kozmo


I realize the cult of Kozmo lives on among cyclists and courier-wannabees. Those old Kozmo bags by Chrome, for example, still bring down almost $300--twice the cost of a new, better-built Chrome bag. (True, it's awfully hard to find that orange polyvinyl Metropolis bag, unless you know the right people)

But from time to time you see some doofus at ebay trying to sell a used, expired MetroCard-- starting bid 50 cents, shipping cost $.99. (Uh... dingus will fit into a standard envelope and mail first class for 39 cents. I think I'm understanding the business model here.)

I can find no evidence of anyone ever actually buying one of these on ebay. So I'll just hold on to mine for the moment... say for another 10,000 years or so.
