(My eBay attempt didn’t work, but I did get 100 commissions for that 2007 project.)

By posting this, I was not disapproving of Cobo’s technique. Whatever works, as long as no one is hurt, right? I was merely expressing skepticism that he’ll get a commission. I was unaware that composers offer their services on ebay. I’m with Nick. I just might have to get some of that action too, now.

I advertised “We Are All Mozart” on eBay back in 2007, and one of the options was to buy an opera (among any other piece at the rate of $1 per measure-part). There are other composers who offer their services on eBay all the time, and you probably know some of them. Gotta earn a living!
