Netscape.com e-mail addresses for sale

"Netscape" (the new ISP) is auctioning off 200 netscape.com e-mail addresses. I found out by clicking on this ad. The ISP is auctioning jess@netscape.com, jessica@netscape.com, and jessie@netscape.com, but not my old address, jesse@netscape.com.

I searched eBay to find out what names have the highest bids. So far, "john" ($112.50) is beating "michael" ($105.50) and "mark" ($102.50). Most of the names are still at the opening bid of $9.95.

    It’s over. http://search-completed.ebay.com/ws/search/SaleSearch?ebaytag1_tmp=&exclude=&ht=1&ebaytag1code_tmp=&satitle=be+the+only+netscape.com&sorecordsperpage=50&from=R6&sosortproperty=3&sosortorder=2

    Most of the names went for less than the price of a year of dial-up access through the Netscape ISP. (A year of dial-up access is included in each auction along with the e-mail address.)
