iPhone e-mail address goes for hundreds on eBay
January 18th, 2007
It appears that someone recently registered and then sold the e-mail address “iPhone_wholesaler@yahoo.com” on eBay. The auction attracted over 35 bids, and the winner paid $355 for the e-mail address.
We’ve all heard of companies that buy domain names containing common surnames and then selling e-mail addresses on those domains, but individual e-mail addresses? Commenters on John Chow’s website, where I found this story, note that eBay’s “similar items” feature reveals many more similar iphone e-mail addresses for sale.
