Hello, I've not seen this mentioned before, but they're now auctioning off .cc names. It had previously been noted that they were auctioning off .bz names. See their store at:
http://www.ebaystores.com/id=47260199 Is this the future of dot-com? Chuck Gomes had written at: http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc10/msg02298.html "How does a consumer find the choices? What will the consumer have to pay if he/she is successful? How easy is it?" Well, I went to http://www.nic.cc, and typed in "games" and was told that games.cc was already taken. Hmmm. Not finding a "back order this domain" button, I looked for the WHOIS... http://www.nic.cc/cgi-bin/whois?domain=games.cc Domain Name: games.cc Creation Date: 10-12-1997 Expiration Date: 10-12-2007 Not very much detail. If I wanted to buy the name, can't really contact the current owner.... So, let's see if there's a webpage. I went to http://www.games.cc and just see an under construction page -- there is an email to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", though....perhaps someone will reply.... No link to the eBay auction, nada, which is at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2033366154 Only $25,000 opening bid! Who knows what the reserve is... I'm glad that Verisign is out there protecting consumers from speculators.... ;) Who are the real speculators out there, Chuck? I think I'll keep my http://Games.org/ instead. :) Sincerely, George Kirikos http://www.kirikos.com/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
