Web News:Mike Rowe's letter from Microsoft reaches $22,700, No its back to $500

Lokie · 03-February-04, 09:20 PM

As everything got totally got of control, Mike Rowe has returned the sum to $500, and will only accept authorised bids. So far, nearly 420,000 people have visited his Ebay page.

Poor Mike Rowe. It's worth looking at the bid history on this auction, which shows a long list of retractions, with some people claiming they entered the "wrong bid amount". What is there about six figures and three figures they don't understand?

BIDS ON Ebay for Mike Rowe's warning letter from Microsoft and a WIPO book have topped $22,700.

We reported earlier this week that Rowe, who was threatened by Microsoft to give it his mikerowesoft.com domain, placed the "Caesar Desist" letter for sale on Ebay. At that time the bid stood at $500.

Perhaps the high bids at the site will continue for the six days 15 hours left for the auction, giving youngster Rowe another mention in the IT history books.

The bid page is here.
