Re: selling songs on ebay
It's 85 bids and $100,100.00 now. Why anyone would pay that much for just one song, that you may not be able to even listen to, I have no idea.
I think that we're all focusing on the wrong issue here--this isn't just any ordinary song--it's Double Dutch Bus, a remake by Devin Vasquez of the Frankie Smith classic. Well worth the $16,000 that's currently the high bid...

My mistake. I just happen to have $16,000 sitting here collecting dust, I think I'll grab that song.

Re: selling songs on ebay
eBay Auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi … 2555673237
This guy bought a song off of iTMS and has decided to auction it off on eBay. The seller think that if you can legally sell a used CD, you should be able to sell a bought/used song, too.
It seems logical to me, but what do you think Apple and the RIAA have to say about it?
how do you find this auction in the first place....did you search for double dutch bus?

Re: selling songs on ebay
it was a joke, sort of..
Don't worry, some of us understood your humor. I suppose it takes half a brain. And by that statement, I mean, no more than half a brain.

Damn them straight to Hades. How dare those mods? Who do they think they are? They act as if they're in control or something!

Why are people so uptight about another's spelling?
Even if he had used a spellchecker, the word "by" would have been skipped.

Re: selling songs on ebay
http://www.not_here_buddy.com is the only totally FREE eBay auction sniper website!
Snipe Station is far better than any other auction sniper site. Snipe Station is the only free auction sniper site out there and also has a special feature whereby the more referrals you make them, the more free advertising space you get on the front page of their site! It's brilliant!
I would consider checking out this free ebay auction sniper site today at http://www.go_away_and_leave_us_alone.com

Re: selling songs on ebay
This marks the second time TODAY that I've looked at this thread thinking: "Didn't that happen 2 years ago?"
ban, lock?, forget.
maybe all topics should be locked after a certain period of inactivity.

Oh, geez. OBVIOUSLY some punk(s) made an account just to bid in this auction, with no intention whatsoever of paying. That's how it got so high, and why eBay kept resetting the auction. Eventually a mod decided enough was enough, and closed the auction.
