GoogleFire on auction at ebay!

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?

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

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).

mondine is an unknown quantity at this point
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
