http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ayphotohosting

Check out that high BID!!

Damn! Damn! Damn!

I would love to be that guy right now. All he did was buy a domain and put a one page site up, and he's about to get 100 grand for it :eek:

SSJ4 Gogitta 22nd February 2005 22:11

I wonder what maddox.xmission.com would go for, assuming he would ever sell it.

dlinkwit27 22nd February 2005 22:11

I hate to think of what he is going to lose when ebay takes it's what...17%?

protegechris 22nd February 2005 22:29

You will be able to buy www.winamp.com for pennies the way AOL is going.

Bizzeh 22nd February 2005 23:05

Jay 23rd February 2005 01:36

heh, this just gave me the idea to register whoismyisp.com

mikm 23rd February 2005 01:57

eh, ismyip.com would be better. You could provide:

what.ismyip.com
where.ismyip.com (provides IP --> Geographical location)
why.ismyip,com (providing whois information for an IP address)

griffinn 23rd February 2005 03:43

And dedicating so many posts to this one event bothers on postpumping.

protegechris 23rd February 2005 03:48

Imagine if ebay auctioned ebay.com

Whoach.. brain explosion dude :D

Nah seriously though, never used that site, makes me wonder what a really big name site would go for..

Millions bitch!

Smeggle 24th February 2005 01:46

Damn whatsmyip is taken :( - thinks of how many would mistype or mispell WhatIsMyIP - oh well.....:D

And eh - think of all the hits it's gonna get with the forum link/story scavengers that come around ...I'd pay that for it as well - there stats will be through the roof ..

and (Not that I extoll the virtues of windows often) clicky the two likkle computer screens icon in the lower right on your task bar. Little bitty graphic pops up/clicky on the left tab and low and behold your fucking i.p address.

Or if you have a decent firewall (Zone Alarm will do) click the icon/click on Alerts&logs/Log Viewer and theres your i.p. as well! and the ports that data is getting bounced of..

In other words more than likely an add driven site as stated which really by it's names implication is not really offering a usefull service or new or unique in anyway.

I'd say it's just a case of learn to use your computer properly or go visit spyware city..lol :D
