Our government at work!!
Doesn't it give you a warm, comfy feeling that paid government employees spend their time in truly responsible ways?

I think they opened up a whole can of worms, anyone living near a beach area that reads this can go get sand and then list on ebay.

latte,
My first though was, "Here's a seller, being successful, making something out of nothing!"
Meaning he took something as valueless and common as dirt (pun intended), and turned a profit on it.
My second thought was, "Gee. I wonder if anyone would pay for Central Texas rocks?"
LOL!

OMG!! Here in Santa Barbara County, the county is selling sand by the cubic yard. out of the Guadalupe Dunes. I don't know how much sand is there, but some of the dunes are 200 feet high. The prevailing wind is from the west & continually closes the road to the beach. So its necessary to remove it.

Sand-mar (sorry, couldn't help myself!)
..and doesn't "mar" mean "sea" in Latin???
So you would be "Sand-Sea"?
You should offer to take a SMALL portion of that pesky sand off their hands for free! Wow, free eBay merchandise...
LOL!

Meadowlark -
My first thought was ... what about sand from the famous Coney Island?
Minus the ... errrr ... equally famous Coney Island whitefish, of course.

Roz,
I guess I've never heard of
"equally famous Coney Island whitefish"!
Is that a dead fish in the sand, or something offered for comsumption in the area? LOL!

Meadow -
See, it's like this: A "Coney Island whitefish" is not ... errr ... a fish at all.
They're ..uh ...a certain kind of...errr ..preventive device ...used and discarded by young couples in love.
They're found with some regularity on NYC beaches. But wherever they float up - the Rockaways, Brighton - they're known locally as "Coney Island whitefish."

Sounds like they need to trade jobs. That innovative Ebay seller needs to be at city hall handling the taxpayers money and the Parks and Recreation director needs to be on the beach pounding sand.

Maybe I should suggest to Mayor Bloomberg that he try selling sand from Coney Island on eBay to try to close the deficit
Would beat closing centers for senior citizens and pre-school programs.
