Talking Soooo...... Risk it? ;-) 3 letter.net on eBay for $30...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...5782631696&rd=1

Can't imagine it's legit (Claims millions of hits/week ... that in and of itself would be worth many thousands of dollars....)

But heck, just in case that "What would you do" thread of earlier was any indication...


So, bid and risk it? Only a few bucks...

A few things. ON ebay the bid is something like 20$. on the actuall website it is asking $5,000. And as for the millions of hits a week..... it doesn't look like it to me :P.

And then you have to wonder how many of those afternic hits have been folks checking the domain after seeing the eBay auction

I've gone cynical...

I just wanted to warn you that someone is selling your domain OSN.net on eBay. It has 2½ days left. If it's you selling, could you please let me know as I would like to place a bid for it.

Thanks!

I certainly don't know the owner, nor would I imply that he/she is doing this, but creating a fake account to get lots of "scam" traffic (Folks thinking they are preventing a scam/checking up on a scam/etc.) is a semi-cheap efficient way of generating uniques and traffic, apparently...

Looks like the "wait and see" option is the favorite, thanks folks

At least it's gone, I'm not surprised if more domains like this appears on eBay that don't actually belong to the seller.

They advertise the site on ebay for such low costs, that it gets people like us to visit their sites. He probably got a good 1k unique hits just from advertising it on ebay.

When I quizzed him about it ,he said I had sold it to him and gave my name as his name. The Domain Was /IS and Always will be mine .
What was the Domain Name ,only one of my Domain Sale Sites,the one he said he had bought it from .Dumb guy could not see the stupidity in saying he had bought WebName4.us from WebName4.us
