In surfing eBay, I came across several listings for paper bags from common, more-or-less affordable shops including Starbucks, the Yankee Candle company, and so on. I can kind of understand buying luxury brand bags like Prada or Burberry (for using as a gift bag or home decor) or the Hollister bags which feature a series of scantily-clad hunks, for lack of a better term, but I don't understand buying paper bags from ordinary brands.

Or maybe I'm missing a trick and I should start auctioning Wal-mart and Primark bags...?
