And speaking of toys, today's last word in business is resale.
Despite the financial crisis, some toys are selling for way above their original prices - not at toy fairs, but on eBay. This year, a toy company released a pair of dolls named Marvelous Malia and Sweet Sasha. Yes, just like the Obama girls. The first lady complained, and the original dolls were pulled from shelves. The company quickly reintroduced them as Marvelous Mariah and Sweet Sidney, but the originals have now sparked a memorabilia frenzy on eBay. They're selling for as much as $3,000 a pair.
