Laugh Out Loud eBay Thursdays – ANT.IVIR.US
Some domains listed on eBay really stretch the limits of one’s imagination. While browsing the (.com) category on eBay this ugly monster decided to reveal its head. With that said I bring to you ANT.IVIR.US or for those who have already started laughing at such a ludicrous listing IVIR.US. Wait a minute it gets funnier! I must type quick as the listing expires in 1 hour and 46 minutes.
What makes me laugh out loud about this domain is the seller’s choice of title. “ANT.IVIR.US — Million Dollar Domain! LLLL .com” Can this be anymore misleading? Is the seller really trying to imply that this domain name is worth a million dollars? To make it even worst the domain has been listed with the following picture:
The picture alone provides enough comic relief to last you through the day. I guess this seller appeals to those ignorant chumps who purchase how to get rich kits off of late night infomercials. Here’s the wake up call you chumps have been waiting for, this domain name is not worth anywhere close to a million dollars! In fact the domain name is losing value right now. If it continues at this rate the winning bidder might actually be paid ten dollars to take the domain! Ever heard of a lemon when it comes to used cars? This is a domain lemon and stay far away from it!
“It is perfect for any web company or domainer who would like to hold onto a domain until they find an end buyer.” Another statement which is completely out of control. Perhaps they meant end-user? For those who wind up bidding on such a domain name, good luck finding an “end buyer“!

Haha! That is just priceless. Luckily still no bids with about 20 min to go… I’m guessing that the bidding war will start in the last minute

Hey Johan,
That bidding war is going to be a show stopper! Lets see how many nickels this domain goes for! LOL!

What exactly makes this a bad domain name if developed properly? Delicious uses the same philosophy right? Del.icio.us?

Hello Jorge,
It’s not the fact that this is a bad domain. In my opinion any domain name has potential. THELONGESTDOMAINNAMEABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.COM if developed properly could even have potential.
The domain ANT.IVIR.US was pinpointed because of the misleading information included in the auction and that is what makes this funny. This segment is dedicated to poking a bit of fun at domain names listed on eBay, especially the ones with “Million Dollar Domain” listed in the title.

Ahh ok I got ya! It’s not the fact it’s a bad domain it’s that the seller thinks it’s an amazing domain name even when it isn’t developed. Thanks!

This is normal on eBay. You need to filter by bids (say more than 2) and value ( say more then $10) to see the real picture.
