Have you ever wished you had started and owned Lindows instead of Michael Robertson? After all, the upstart Linux distribution first gained huge notoriety by pulling on the whiskers of the Microsoft monopoly, then by losing a few rounds in court as Gates and company went global court-shopping, but finally banking hundreds of millions of dollars to settle the suit Microsoft had filed against it here in the U.S. Well, whip out your credit card, because you can pick up L-I-N-D-O-W-S right now on eBay for a starting bid of just a couple hundred dollars. The original Lindows signage, that is.

Gmail Invites Up For Sale On eBay

Gmail Invites Up For Sale On eBay 04/30/2004 02:47 PM
Google is now letting those who are already signed up for their Gmail service invite two new people to the service, and as you might imagine, this limited supply of a service in high demand has already meant that plenty of invites are showing up on eBay, and people are trying to charge an awful lot for them. Honestly, anyone who buys this invite has to be something of a sucker. With the invites getting easier and easier to come by, any amount spent is probably too much.

Darth Vader's flagship for sale on eBay

Darth Vader's flagship for sale on eBay 04/21/2004 02:08 AM
This guy spent three years building an enourmous model of Star Wars Super Star Destroyer -- Darth Vader's flagship. It's to the same scale as the 4" figurines, making it a kind of jumbo skiffy dollhouse for your Lucasfilm dollies. It's pretty amazing. Bidding stands at £305 right now with four days left.

Taking almost 3 years to make, this is the one of a kind 4" scale figure toy that I always wanted, and now I have built it. I just wish I’d had one of these when I was a kid. And for kids this Star Destroyer has been built. The ship is constructed almost entirely of wood and all the parts are quite chunky with nothing small to break off (unless abused). It is approximately 2 metres in length, 1.5 metres wide and 1 metre high, it is rather large but built solidly. Caster wheels on the base allow for easy movement and the top section can be removed for storage and easier transportation. Not for under 3s but great fun to play with from 6 – 60 year olds!

After the dot-com bust, they immediately slim down." I would like to buy this and bury it in a titanium safe, and text-message some children 50 years from now with instructions on how to open it.
