My good friend Nate Preston is the kind of man who needs hobbies. He needs projects. He needs to be engaged. Be it booking rock shows, attacking twee posts on the K record label chat room, or playing Dungeons and Dragons, he throws himself into the activity de jour with gusto.

No wonder then that after coming to the AC Dickson eBay PowerSeller show Nate's taken to eBay selling like a fish who has spent his life on dry land finding a body of water.

To say that Nate has been successful with eBay is to say George Hamilton has a nice tan.

Nate is living proof that with the inspiration of my seminar and a computer side copy of my PowerSelling guide, eBay glory can belong to anyone.

A few weeks ago I issued a challenge to come up with an auction that might attract the attention of all of eBay country and perhaps entice a heavyweight bid from Golden Palace Casino. It comes as no surprise that Nate came up with dozens of brilliant ideas. Last night, he posted his first such auction under my tutelage. Rather than tell you all about it, I'll simply ask that you click here and check it out yourself.

Now, in order to try and create a true eBay phenomenon, I need your help.

1) Please look at the auction and find the blue link to watch this item. Assuming you're an eBay member click there to watch it. Don't worry, you won't get extra emails or anything, it's just an easy way to track the auction on your 'my eBay' page.

2) Email the auction link to EVERYONE in your email list and explain that you're helping eBay pro AC Dickson to manufacture a global phenomenon. Ask them to officially watch the auction as well, then have them forward the link to EVERYONE in their email list.

Why is 'watching' an auction so important? The ten most watched eBay auctions are listed on the eBay pulse page which is linked to on the very front page of the entire eBay website. Depending on the week, it only takes a few hundred watchers to break the top ten. Once an auction does, the hits will multiply as many eBay users will check out anything that looks interesting on the list. This is of course where Golden Palace Casino looks for potential auctions to bid on.

3) Contact anyone that works in the media and ask them if they're heard about this crazy auction up on eBay right now. Act like you've stumbled upon it yourself and can't stop thinking about it. Perhaps suggest that you wish you had their job so you could report on it.

Let's see if we can do this folks. Can we make the eBay pulse top ten watched auctions? Can we get Golden Palace Casino to bid? Can we get this auction listed in US Today?

Together I think we can.
