GoogleFire on auction at ebay!

walker · 11-14-2005, 06:17 AM

The domain name Googlefire.com seems to be a topic of interest among major software companies. It is now being acutioned on ebay.
Who will own it when the bidding is complete. Will it be Google or a competitor?
http://www.googlefire.com

So far, no bids. LoL. I doubt anyone would buy it for that price at least.

"US $100,000"

Don't google want it?

If Google wanted it they'd pay the regular price for a domain plus the legal fees (unless whom ever owns it gives it up without a fight).

Well, who's going to buy it, except as a speculative venture, to see if they could resell it to Google at a profit?
If anybody else actually started using it, they'd probably get a cease and desist court order against them for copyright infringement within 24 hours.
Just another case of name-squatting.

Thats crazy. I don't think googlefire.com would be sold at that price. Maybe the owner should point out the similarity between his domain name and Angelfire

Who's going to put out that GoogleFire with some GoogleWater?

kcmandava · 11-15-2005, 02:23 AM

Googlewater has been taken too....

The item is still there, with 0 bids

Had a fair few views though.
