What's the actual bid history?
The $21,000,000 just looks like the Buy It Now price. That's not the same as the reserve/minimum bid price, is it? Just wondering. ~Michael |

That price sounds unbelievable; I can’t understand a price anywhere near that value. Perhaps it's some kind of publicity stunt.

10 offers, all of which were declined. No amounts listed, so no idea how much the offers were for.
Looks like the seller's typical sales are for model car kits. The seller has some other Michael Jackson domains up. Asking price is $9,999 for those. No offers on any of those. |

- - - - - - - - So, what's the money making aspect of this? I think it's this: There are still good domains out there. Maybe the seller in this case had tried several other domains, withot success. Many ofus can relate to that. But with a little creative thinking, it's possible to come up with a winning name. All the best, Michael | |

Yes, $21 m is the BIN. Surely he has other plans for creating the buzz. I think the seller also knows that his askng price is a little over the top.

I'd imagine the seller has opted for the BIN format as a straight auction in the current climate would get irate bidders putting in false, ridiculously high bids just to spoil the auction. Frank | |

Whoops.. Who will going to buy it lol .. I think so that is way too expensive because domain name is not actually worth it. What about michaeljackson.com? who owe that site? Also allmichaeljackson.com is also good but the site someone selling on ebay is way too long domain and really too much expensive and no one going to bin that price

I don't know how much MJ related domains will be worth after all the hooplah dies down.
The guy hasn't exactly been at the top of the charts lately. Sure, a big blip now, but 6 months from now? |

He reportedly has a bunch of unreleased songs, not just the ones for his kids, but others he's made throughout the years. Apparently, some even go back to his early albums--ones that didn't make the cut for the album. I'm sure they won't all be released at once. They'll spread them out over time.

The further we get from the funeral and all the 24/7 sickening hype, I less interest there will be in his material. Don't know who will end up in charge of those unreleased songs, but it'll likely end up in court for some time. Hopefully for the kids sake, it's someone who has their best interests at heart and not their own. I'd never have an interest in promoting anything associated with him. Great performer, no doubt. But far from a great human being in my opinion. | |

If you keep regular tabs on the domain names section you will always find outlandish BIN prices. Some of them REALLY have you scratching your head...
This one while timely is no different. |

eBay has been crap as far as domain names. I've seen worthless domains with BINs set at millions of dollars. People think they can become an instant millionaire with one domain.

If the memorial service turns into some kind of giant woodstock kind of spectacle, then that website could be huge in the serps for years to come. However if it's a somewhat normal service, then that website will probably be practically worthless.

21 mill is the 'buy it now' price. he might as well have put '$30,000,000,000,000'.
The offers he has been getting have all been declined, so they're probably '$1'. He's got as much chance of selling this for 21 mill as Michael Jackson has of completing his upcoming tour. |

All I know is that SONY is hitting these MJ sites with a C/D order and its not music cd. That $21M is a joke to get traffic to it and he'll be doing the moonwalk straight to jail.

The domain is tainted.
You can bet his lawyers will come after all the profitable domains with MJ's name in them. The price should read like this $21,000,000 + Massive Legal Fees = Lose domain and all your money Martin |

I second what Dan said about the unreleased tracks. Also, I heard they may make a movie out of his rehearsal footage from the tour he was preparing for. SO my guess is quality MJ domain names will be very valuable for some time to come. Think Elvis domain if he just died. Just my 2 cents.
BTW... $21 mill for that is ridiculous. I dont think its worth that. |

guys,
its a scam. Check the bid history, all those are "declined". There is NOOO way on earth this is even halfway true. The person is faking those bids and will bail out once the auction is offer. All those recent so called $21MIL domains are not worth a penny. (too long, or hyphens)....in addition MJ is a trade-mark. |

If it was michaeljackson.com or michaeljackson.org it could be sold at that price...
But with that long URL...IMO it's not as enticing.. Although it definitely has marketing potential (we all know a lot of people wants to hear or attend his memorial service.) I'm not so sure that will be profitable for years to come.. This URL is connected to a one time event..his memorial service..Sure people would still look for some memorabilia during and after the memorial service..but for sure only for a while.. oMar |

One domain name already sold for almost 10 million , was legit it ended with a buy it now price , although he had a fake bid a few days before that but relisted and it sold. Now he has other domain names for sales it appears.
IN MEMORY OF MICHAEL JACKSON .COM DOMAIN NAME DOT COM - eBay (item 180373715649 end time Jun-25-09 17:12:33 PDT) so some people are making big $$ with te right domain names it seems. |

I got this message when I visited ebay
"This listing (250457756163) has been removed, or this item is not available. Please check that you've entered the correct item number Listings that have ended 90 or more days ago will not be available for viewing." Anyone know what happened? did it get sold or taken off cos the price was ridiculous? MJ's a legend for sure but is a domain name other than something like michaeljackson.com worth that much? ![]() btw, i saw his funeral on tv earlier. no one else gets such attention even in death. i ges d saying 'u wont kno what u got til its gone applies here'. all that n his album sales recently should have wiped off his debt i guess lol. |

I have seen that same error message from ebay when they take something down. They have been doing this all the time with Obama's birth certificate. Someone keeps trying to sell it but ebay will cancel it if they cant verify its authenticity.
That could be the problem. |
