The Pamphleteer |

|
During colonial times in America, if you wanted to convince or inform people about some issue that you considered important, you went to the local printer and got some pamphlets printed. You then handed them out, read them to anybody that was interested, nailed them to the town bulletin board, or the nearest tree.
The first amendment was specifically written to protect this type of activity and the writers or "pamphleteers".

Brooklyn's new iSold It, part of a national chain that helps computer-shy pack rats auction their stuff through eBay. Bring in an old bike or an ex-boyfriend's drum set and they do the rest - posting the goods online and shipping them to the winner. You get a link to the auction and a check when it's done; they get 30% of the take. Since not everything sells, however, they judge your junk carefully, taking only the items that will earn at least $30.
