Redhat.org on eBay

[Keynes]

I've been watching this auction, and it's quite interesting. Starting from a $1 and NR, the bidding has risen steadily into 4 figures:

4 hours remain and sitting chilly.

hmm thought it would have gone for alot more than that. No bids in the last day and a half.

Actually went pretty low!

Surprisingly low, but it's a TM risk for the buyer. I'm also surprised the overture+ext isn't higher, considering most people would associate Linux with a .org

Risk maybe, but not a slam dunk. The "Red Hat Society" is an unrelated ladies organization that could also have full use rights with a pretty high search page count and good fit for .org... as well as being generic by nature if you really go out of your way to promote it that way (i.e money & lawyers).

When I saw this thread, the first thing to enter my mind was de Bono's 6 Thinking Hats:

The Red Hat signifies feelings, hunches and intuition. When using this hat you can express emotions and feelings and share fears, likes, dislikes, loves, and hates.

Perhaps the buyer is an emotional person :bingo:

I’m completely perplexed at how abruptly the bidding seemed to seize up.
