the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190125355775

Quote:After four years of proving there can be a
successful alternative to the status quo, the founders of MightyBids.com today
announced that their much-praised company is itself to be auctioned off to the
highest bidder. More surprisingly is the avenue Peter Michaud and Jeff
Ramaglia have chosen to take for the MightyBids.com sale.

"We're listing it on eBay," Peter Michaud said. "We figure it's the least
we can do to show it was all in good fun. Mostly." Michaud's "good fun" is in
reference to repeated MightyBids.com criticism of eBay's continual rate and
fee hikes. Using vehicles such as the eBay Food Drive, MightyBids.com has
called attention to what they feel has been a policy of profit over people at
the online auction giant's corporate headquarters...

Bidding is up to $20,100--reserve not met yet.

Biddding went up to nearly $100K with reserve not met. Since the bidders' IDs were "private", do you suppose he worked a deal "off eBay" to sell to Meg and Bill?

They didn't sell the site. The WHOIS record is still the same.

The listing count is down almost 50% since the auction.
