I’ve had this idea for a while to blog about some of the funny domain auctions I have seen listed on eBay.  These auctions tend to speak for themselves.  Some of these auctions are so funny, I’ve decided to designate Thursday as “Laugh Out Loud eBay Thursdays.”  This Thursday, the auction I had the luxury of visiting is for TigersTramps.com!

LOL!  Excuse me for laughing while I type this entry, but this is hilarious.  With all the controversey surrounding Tiger Woods, there are a number of people out there, including domainers trying to flip this into a quick profit.  In the auction seller’s own words “Tiger Woods Premium Domain Name - Cash In Now! It’s Hot” and “Tiger Woods Domain Name - Huge Money.”  The seller even entices bidders with a free push to the winning bidder’s GoDaddy account.  Last time I checked pushes were free to begin with,  so what is this seller referring to?

To laugh a little louder the seller included a golf clip art graphic, making this auction even funnier!  Now my comment for the seller of this auction, please tell me this is a complete joke!  If this is a joke then sir I have to commend you on the humour.  I thought it was funny from the minute that I saw your auction headline in my search results.

Now if this is not a joke and you are truly trying to con some poor bidder into purchasing such a domain, then please tell me this was one of those late night registrations where you tipped a few too many back. ;)  This has drunken domainer written all over it. To be fair you have thoughtfully priced the domain name by setting the starting bid to $12.95.  This is quite an interesting number, perhaps you are trying to recoup your reg fee?

Whatever it is, you my friend have earned an LOL from me!  Be proud of yourself as this might just be the only publicity you get for your eBay auction!  Until next time!
