Efforts by congressional offices and the Presidential Inaugural Committee, which are distributing tickets to inaugural events, haven't stopped online entrepreneurs. "These tix are going like hot cakes, and for FAR more than I am listing them for on here," boasted one anonymous seller in a post yesterday on Craigslist.

The seller, who did not return an email from The Associated Press, offered two seats to the January 21 swearing-in at the Capitol for $4,000.
