Indeed. I bet it'll be pulled soon though - he's 17 and you have to be 18 to be on eBay. I'm sure someone will tip off ebay - it's not like his age isn't plastered all over the place.
I'll admit I'm envious - to be 17 and have $30,000, a host of gifts from MS, and no rent or bills.

Amen to that Yogi. I've been in his IRC channel a few times and he really comes across as a pompus ass. Real arrogant ya know? Like he single-handedly shut down MS or forced em to change their mind. It was all the publicity that did it for MS, not some snot nosed kid.
Of course, if you check out his forums a lot of people are ripping on him for not returning donations when the case was settled, ripping on him for letting MS buy him out, selling the WIPO docs and calling them a piece of "Internet History" etc etc. It's pretty funny.
I want MY 15 minutes now! Nexus, change your name to pavleck and come after pavleck.com!

I would love to see his butt kicked for that. He asks for donations to help fight the "good fight" then when it is settled and he makes a KILLING....the donations should be returned. Since he never had to use them for their intended use.
Punk Ass if you ask me. he was always doing it for the money if you ask me.

The listing fee will be billed to Mikes Credit Card (or his moms since he is only 17) based on the high bid. Then when the high bidder doesnt pay because the whole thing was a joke. Mike will have a hard time getting the listing fee back.

yea, then he takes the high bidder to court for breaking contract. remember... when you place a bid, thats creating a contract valid till your outbid or retracted.
