thanks, I'm already bidding there.
This sounds like a more than fair auction, so let's do it

10 DNF from me

**skylight** · 05-23-2004, 07:17 AM

I foresee this thread will probable have few hundreds posts.
Assume DN$2500 is the avg value. you will have approx. 2500/5 = 500 posts.

Anyway my bid.

DNF$ 15

20 DNF

Here are some screen shots of what is happening on eBay Gmail auctions today about 5 mins ago.

Bidding prices seem to have shot up over $50+ per account. About 3 weeks ago, I got them averaging $40 per account.

The 2 latest BIN (buy-it now) prices are $80 and $124

Prices are definitely rising...

This are screen shots of why Gmail is different and why competitors are worried. Sure, Gmail scans your email text to enable Adsense, but the new features that no other email provider can collectively provide are paradigm shaking.

Sorry, you are forever disqualified from this auction, tekz

you need to follow the RULES. The next bid is exactly 25 DNF, then 30 DNF by another bidder, and so on.

Unlike previous misconceptions, Gmail DOES allow you to delete unwanted emails FOREVER. Some remnants may be found in backup files, as in all web hosting services, but should eventually go away.

A. Well since this is the test for all you domain snipers, please recommend a DNF server time (please specify one of three US time zones, since people do customize their time settings here) if you like based on best estimate Sunday 23:59 GMT, hound. The first person to clock home on specificied hr:mn wins. We will abide by, and I will honor, those rules. Most important thing, keep this auction cheap, so NO high-balls.

Okay, finally figured it out.

The FIRST person to hit time stamp on (GMT -6:00) Central Time (US and Canada), Mexico City at:

18:59 PM today (Sunday 23 May 2004)

on this DNF server clock (which is 5 mins slow)

wins the auction.

So save your bullets, this auction is for the fastest most calculated sniper, not the most persistent. Hopefully, the winner can get this Gmail invite for under 50 DNF.

Good luck, Snipe Kings! this is my last post here until the winner surfaces.
