I wouldn't be surprised if its fake because Kevin and crew likely didn't want to admit failure, so put in a fake bid looking like they had a "win". Lets watch and see if the domain details change (hosting/ip/etc.)
Mesiab labs ( the company that owned/owns retweet ) also runs hummingbird, the #1 twitter spam tool so dont congratulate them too quickly.
More information about how shady these guys are here : http://techcrunch.com/2010/02/17/retweet-com-for-sale/ http://techcrunch.com/2010/02/17/retweet-com-for-sale/
One final note: Even if the purchase is real- The buyer is going to be very disappointed when he finds out that 95% of the claimed traffic is from the iframed retweet buttons and not run-on-site traffic. For a semi accurate analysis of the traffic, just look at alexa (which doesnt count iframes) - It barely registers
- ryanwaggoner 17y agoThis would be really, really stupid, since they had bids over $200k and they would have had to pay $500 to win their own listing. Seems unlikely.
- pclark 17y agodude, seriously. I just registered and bided on a random site. You don't have to pay $500 to bid, and there is no proof that the $250K was paid.
- unperson 17y ago$500 is not for bidding, but for the listing fee and the "Success Fee" (commission). The creator of the auction pays this amount; if that happens to be the same as the winner of the auction, then they lose this amount.
