eBay domain trends..

[Beachie]

I'm forever entertained by the crazy domains people register and try to sell on eBay, in an attempt to get rich quick. Two months ago it was Hummers, then the Space Shuttle tragedy. This month it's Iraq and Saddam.

Can anyone recall what it was before that? And what's next?

Oh, and this is funny too:

Hehe... that is so true Chris.

Some of them are funny - some are stupid - and some are just in bad taste. Always entertaining though!

OMG - that link is too much. For 15K you get to choose any ONE of those names. LOL :laugh:

I'll have faffy.com please for $0.15c :laugh:

Hahaha yeah

I also recall a period of tactless in-duh-viduals trying to cash in on 911/WTC names, and then the ensuing Afghanistan/Taliban names..

BTW, I like your new site SAF

Remember the © domains?

I'm not sure but I think they came before Hummers and something
else.

©Ebay.com
©Microsoft.com

And with 50+ bids (private auction of course).

God, that was funny.

Unfortunately I remember the tragic death of John F. Kennedy Jr. lead to domain speculation on eBay.

We have a new trend emerging, courtesy of member "mickey", who is selling paintball.net on eBay.

Here is the first contender:

Go on...

I challenge someone to send a list of crappy domains to him and ask him if he wants to buy them for some stupid price.
Just to see his response...

 

[CoolHost.com]

That eBay item is: "www.PAINTBALLE.COM" !?!?
That is the *worst* domain name I have ever seen. LOL. Long live DNForum.
See 'ya.

Better go register PaintBallHummer.com. Could be the next big thing for ebay.
