Why would you use ebay for anything high profile? Seems to me they always get a bunch of idiots putting in fake bids that fucks up the auction.

the other high bidder
adq! sells shirts online ?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=3945317 183

in case you idiot trolls think it's fake - If i could get wireless.com for a million dollars I've have the money in the sellors' hand in less than a couple of days. (done properly of course, but finding a millon or more for a url like that wouldn't NOT be difficult)

the name is soooo easy to market in commericals - how much do you think a major cell phone company spends on commericals a year? a few million to have a KILLER url everyone will remember isn't that hard a purchase to pitch to any of a number of those companies out there with the funds to do it

Hey! You'd be surprised, selling those designer Gucci/Diesel shirts. The metrosexuals on this board alone, as his customers could buy wireless.com in 14x monthly revenue.

whats your point ??

boy that men.com deal is looking like a real steal!

Sequence of events:

Sleazy buys domain for $1 million in a "couple of days" >>
A "couple of days" later, domain gets hijacked >>
Sleazy bitches on GFY >>

wahhh wahhhh

:sleep

and xerox let go of the PC

corps aren't that smart and their executives certainly dont trawl ebay for domains

i agree though a company like vodafone could snap it up easily assuming they had the forsight, which begs the question why haven't they yet ?

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

which makes the bidder fsklgm from United Kingdom even more interesting...

Has any big dollar domain ever sold on ebay?
Im not saying the name is not worth the bids but it sure looks like a mess to me.

not for 7 figs
low 6 figs, yes

well if he IS legit then I can only think it would be voda because i doubt its going to be worth such an amount to many other people (especially in uk)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

and then Bhavin of Directi.com considers the legal position of returning said domain when confronted with a whois output of:

WIRELESS.COM
Administrative Contact:
na,
na,
na,
US
Phone: 00000000

well Voda is the only one with US connections
but i wouldnt be so sure, there are at least 5 other major wireless companies in the UK ?
Also wireless is not a widely used term in the UK and EU, its mobile

thats true but the whole thing strikes me as odd.. if it does complete on ebay for that amount it will be all over the news so we'll soon find out :thumbsup

hummm, ............maybe I shouldn't use dotster.....

As if the current bid is 4.3 million and the reserve hasn't even been met.

what will the sellers fees be on this bad boy?

Looks like the phony bidder fsklgm has been removed. Top bid is under $2 M now.
