Unless I missed something.. damatex?

He's not the brightest lightbulb as it doesn't leave much room for a counter-bid does it, LOL

the real winner in all of this is eBay, cuz they get paid for every listing including these nonsense auctions.

I don't think Ebay will ever collect commish on the $169 mil (or watever) bogus bid. Usually the seller cancels the winning bid the last minute or reports the (bogus) buyer to Ebay as such and no sale is officially recorded. Or the buyer reports a bogus seller :).
Or the reserve is just set way too high for a sale transaction to occur. IN any event, Ebay may never collect anything --not even a listing fee-- if this has been set up by a con artist.

Sad state...

I've got a theory on some of these domain names that go up for sale on ebay with outlandish list prices...

It could be a method of communication for terrorists, and potentially a way to hide money transfers between terrorist groups in different countries. Before you say I'm crazy, keep track of the domain names that are being 'sold' this way, & look up the registration whois info.

The domain names being "sold" could easily be some code name for potential targets or locations. If one sells, it could be a disguise to justify a large money transfer that would otherwise be scruitinized by the feds. If you think about it, buying and selling domain names is an ideal way to launder money, don't you think???

Hey, maybe we can use this to sell more domains! Anyone know any mob bosses with assets they need to launder???

;)
