The hunters carve a hole in the top of a heavy box, just large enough for a small monkey's hand to go through. On the bottom of the box is a larger hole into which the hunter places a large nut, larger than will fit through the top hole. Can you see where this is going?

When the monkey comes along, smells the nut and sees it inside the box, they instantly squeeze their hand into the hole and grab the nut. However, since the nut is larger than the hole, there's no way that it will ever come out. The monkey is not intelligent enough to realize this and they always stubbornly hold onto the nut, never letting go. This means the hunter can walk right up to the monkey and capture it.

Let me ask you, are you like that monkey? Are you desperately holding onto a nut that you'll never be able to get? In eBay terms the nut is the traditional way of using eBay. You MUST learn to give up that nut, or you ARE nuts! Remember, just a few steps away from where you are now is a huge pile of nuts, yours for the taking, but it might be that you are so focused on (distracted by) the one nut in the container that you haven't yet seen the bigger pile...
