How much would you pay for an artwork that you could only own for a
week?
Ebay conditions of sale for this item stipulate the buyer must plug it
into the internet - where-upon it will automatically auction it'self
off after 7 days.
A microcontroller inside the art contacts a server running a script
which places the item on sale again.
