    I'm not sure but the whole idea might be to create some sort of buzz and make people create links and laugh at them. I don't mind placing one "crazy deal" like that on eBay and experiment with how many webmasters or similar will talk about that and eventually link to me :D

    But on the other hand, this guy can be just a fool that even doesn't know what link is :eek:

    Cheers,

    According to the ebay fees calculator, the insertion fee is $4.80, pretty good really, oh if he sells it for $5,000,000, then ebay will take $220,023.10, he'll make $4,779,976.90. I've added a screenshot to prove it, look to the right of the page
    Gosh, the research I do for DP. I would put in a bid but i dont have quite enough money, who knows maybe for christmas. If he sold it here on DP would anyone buy it or is that price too high for people at DP?

    I'm pretty convinced it's just a cheap (and smart) method of advertising for his network. After all, $4.80 for potentially thousands of hits to his website is a whole lot better than PPC. ;)

    Make no payments for 3 months is not applied by him.
    It is an eBay offer for PayPal credit card users.

    American Web Links uses the latest in web design, like click-hide/display menus, send email directly from our site,"Google" maps, "Accuweather" reports, and "Floating" skyscraper banner that follows the web user.

    There has got to be something stopping this? Something ebay has, perhaps? I know there are tons of people who do these types of things. Selling autographed JRR Tolkien books for one (the dude has been dead for decades :p)
