GM Selling Cars On eBay

"With this kind of innovative thinking, I think GM will someday be as successful as my mom's homemade candle business.”
Kim Amell,
Systems Analyst
"I guess not selling cars on eBay is probably a lot cheaper than hiring people to not sell cars in dealerships."

Hammer Mill Operator
"They nailed the crux of the problem right there. The reason for the collapse of the auto market was that you just couldn't buy a brand-new $25,000 vehicle, sight unseen, from an Internet auction house."
