eBay – 2 items for a pound
This weekend I bought two items off eBay for a total of £1.
First I paid the sum of £0.99 for two Pennbury domain names, pennbury.co.uk and pennbury.com. Pennbury, near Leicester, is one of the Governments shortlisted locations which may be developed into an eco-town – one in a list of 15 which will be narrowed down to 10 in 6 months.
Once the domains have been transferred I will probably develop a small information site in the style of cassioburypark.info providing details about the proposed development. If the project goes ahead under the same name there will be a town with 12,000 – 15,000 residents, so I imagine the domains would have some potential.
The £0.01 I paid was for a set of headphones for my fake ipod. Like the other item, the seller here is obviously making a loss. Despite this the seller is still selling many identical items – an attempt just to boost the amount of feedback received, a hope of future businesses or just general foolishness? I wonder…
