Ebay handle has Dan in it, his profile has dan in it. His "About Me" Page states:

I Collect Billy Joel Items
I have thousands of items of Billy Joel memorabilia...

We have a winnah!

This has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen!

Why would they pay you $8000 when they can just use the splintercell.com that they already own?

God damn domain squatters, I hate you assholes.


And of course you do realize that actively attempting to sell a domain of a registered trademark or copyright is illegal, correct?


You'd better hope that you come up with some kind of money, because when Ubisoft's lawyers come a knockin, you're gonna be ass-out.

Uh, not quite.


First, the Hot Deals forum is not the place to peddle your items.
Second, you are not allowed to post ebay links in this forum.
Third, even if you had posted this in the "correct" forum (For Sale / Trade) it would STILL be locked because ebay auctions aren't allowed there either.

Take your garbage domain squatting elsewhere.

From his revised auction:

I have tried, for many months, to make arrangements with the Ubi Soft corporation, for them to own this domain, but they have stopped responding to my e-mails, as of July 2003.

bwahahahahahahha

Man im going to have to use my fake ebay account to bid on this!!!!! Im sending it to 10 million!!!!! your going to be Rich BillyJoel!!!! I'll keep pumping up the bid for you. And when ebay calls me, i will say im your best friend from this forum and you told me to do it.

And all this cause i like Guys whoring their stuff on ebay, and pretending it's not theirs, but you could send me a couple $$'s for my trouble ., just tell me when the bids high enough and i'll quit the shill bidding. OK!!!

"No dealers and no SPAM (IE: multi-level marketing, pay-to-surf, pay-for-referral schemes or links to auctions) allowed!"

Starting price of $7,800 is NOT hot.

Interesting , but probably should be locked.

Hopefully you paid a lot for it also!!!!

They can get an attorney or file with one of the ICANN dispute services and get that domain name back.

Amazing that someone who's been on eBay for over 4 years is resorting to buying & selling feedback.

If you get a $1 bid on this, i'd take it.... because ICANN will take it from you for $0 if the makers of Splinter Cell ever come out with version 2.

Squatters beware.

edit... In before the lock!
