Cheesecake.us on Afternic?


Maybe some of you saw this,but I was blown away to say the least.
First, cheesecake.us is listed in the Afternic Showcase as if it's some sort of amazingly premium domain.
Second,it's listed at a minimum bid of $26,500 with a buy it now of $50,000.
And Third...it has a $25,000 bid!!!!!!

Am I missing something? Even to a really motivated buyer I wouldn't guess more than $1000 for this.

This is a special case. We put it on the Showcase because of the offer. The fact that the name is in demand, adds value. We're trying to get the owner to realize that it is a good deal and accept.

Im not quite seeing what you mean Bill, its a silly price for such a domain, but if it sells, then good good.

It is the 1st April where I am! It has to be a joke.

I have four premium names on the showcase and this just detracts.
