I want a Volkswagen Bus

Now here's a cool idea to get the car of your dreams
We were notified about this site by Steve Spiers, owner and creator of iwantavolkswagenbus.com, after he purchased a few items from our eBay store.
It seems like such a cool idea we thought we'd share it with you.
The idea is simple! Sell pixel space onto advertisers in order to raise funds so Steve can buy the Bus of his dreams.
Each pixel costs a small 20 cents which gets you an image, details and a link to your own site. And from what we can gather your ad will be there for as long as the site is.
Now you might be thinking "yeah ok so I can pay to have a small ad on a site - how is that going to benifeit me?"
Well if you know the internet you will know that the more links you have to your site from another, the better! It increases your Google ranking and gets you better noticed on the internet. Excellent for businesses and companies and it's cheap as chips.
The idea behind this concept was thought up by a dude named Alex Tew who wanted to fund his way through colledge. He set up the "Million Dollar Script" and started selling pixel space off to anyone and anyone for $1 per unit. He made himself known via the media and eventually he sold off all the space and had a million dollars.
So if you want to support Steve in his quest spread the word or even buy a pixel for your own website. You never know, if it works you could do the same!
You can check out Steve's site here: www.iwantavolkswagenbus.com and you can keep tabs on his what he's been up to here: www.iwantavolkswagenbus.com/blog
Good luck Steve! Keep us posted!
