You have just got to check this out:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1240582092
Some poor fool paid $255 for the URL of a site that sells the Geforce 3 card.
Read that again...the poor dope paid $255 just to find out where he could buy a Geforce 3 card.
Only in America, my friends...only in America...

Wow, i wonder if he will resell the link :stickout
Some people also retracted their bids cause they thought it was the board itself.

wait... did the guy who bought it know it was just the URL?
there are about 5 cancelled bid comments... just basically stating that they didn't know it was just a URL
the guy who bought the URL is a newbie ebay user... only bought off ebay auction once before... poor guy

Apparently he has more than one copy available for sale! And he's already got a bid, so get there fast before this URL is gone! ;)

And check this too: http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewListedItems&userid=cereal_dud&include=0&since=-1&sort=2&rows=25
He is the URL master! Why buy a URL from anyone else?
It gets better: Look! http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&ht=1&query=URL
Who knew there was such a scam going on! Geez, we're in the wrong business folks! ;)

I wouldn't say we're in the wrong business ...he's gonna make less $$$ in the long run, and probably never more than $900 - $1,000/month ;)

That should be against EBAY rules. Sorry, but I doubt anyone read it correctly. If they did they are outta their mind.
