MikeRoweSoft lawsuit letter on eBay

[aww]

This kid is quite the marketeer.

check it out on ebay, already at $600

 

[armstrong]

So what happens if the winning bidder backs out? Does he just get a negative rating from Mike Rowe, or can he get sued?

What ever the kid gets he deserves if its 10k or a million he deserves it... this goes to show you how low microsoft can be. Some multi-billion dollar company, they are afraid of a kid...
All bids over 15k is verified by ebay. So someone want's this really bad or Microsoft is trying to prevent it from being sold/published... do you think they would go after eBay and stop it from being sold... Yeah Right! Now there is a fight I would like to see Microsoft Vs. Ebay!

At the least when this kid gets old enough he will be remembered and soughtafter by many IMHO.

LINUX RULES

Every negative feedback point is painful, especially to those who bid who have high marks, but that amount is just way improbable.

You have to wonder though, at that amount, does it come with a frame? :D

 

[armstrong]

Bid now at $20,560,100.00. No one cares about the negative rating that's bound to come, I guess. Right now, the bidding is generating a lot of puclicity, and whoever gets the high bid just *might* get some of that limelight himself. And it will probably be worth the one negative rating.

So, do I hear 10 billion? :lol:

 

[OxDomains]

10 Billion :lol: :bah:

.. unless Mike Rowe received some good PR advice and is taking a page off the book of Philip Kaplan (F'd Company), and the goal for all this is really just the publicity. A few years back Kaplan put f***edcompany.com on sale in eBay too, and himself removed it because the prices became way outrageous.. BUT the publicity he got from it was probably worth more than the outrageous bids.

Right now, all this just adds to Rowe's star and his future is further secured. As a measure from zero to hero in less than one month flat, he's way luckier than bill gates at that age.

US $5,100.00

Okay. Back on realistic ground now. I guess he really wants to sell the darn thing.

 

[drmaximus]

Now $1025, quite a fall from what it was this noon at more than $200,000!

 

[armstrong]

It was up to 20 MILLION at one point.

 

[NameTower]

lol

 

[aww]

Auction is at $560 now and it's down to last 7 hours.
Finishes around 1:30am eastern Friday morning.

 

[identity_00]

Yes... something happened.
Amazing how things change quick when someone
is about to pay six figures.

 

[aww]

Jumped from $560 to $660 and in the last 30 seconds to $1,037 as the winning bid.

Very strange auction with a very strange finish.

 

[InteractAsia]
