More On The Million Dollar Homepage
On January 16, I had an entry on the Million Dollar Homepage and its auction of the last 1,000 pixels for $38,000. I thought that the sale price was amazing and a not-so-great purchase for the buyer. What I didn't know is that the owner, Alex Tew, was disappointed!
It seems that lots of bids were much higher, but either they were withdrawn or they were fakes.
I don't really feel sorry for the owner because the prices were vastly inflated beyond their real value, IMHO. But it's tough to expect a bigger payday and be disappointed.
Bid history:
Ebay ID llatentauthor: bid $153,000.00 - retracted his bid because "Seller changed the description of the item". (Do you believe that excuse?)
lost.river.trader: $160,000.00 - entered wrong amount
ast1155td: $175,000 - entered wrong amount
$25,000,000: fake bid
$6,000,000: fake bid
