Top 100 Digg Profile for Sale on eBay

Here’s another for the I told you department, a top 100 profile from Digg is now up for bid on eBay. The profile for sale is the Digg username GeekForLife. The user has submitted 748 Digg stories, 39 of which have made it to the Digg home page. The current bid is for $325.

Wonder how Jason will feel when the user that wins asks if he can get paid? Or, will the person buying it take advantage of the status that account has in getting stories dugg? Or, will Kevin Rose do the right thing and reset all it’s stats? I vote for number 3, but, as everything on the internet, we shall see.

A side story, someone on Digg guessed the password, apparently they had set the password as digg, duh huh. It looks like they are returning going by what was said in the comments.

This will happen more, but I would say most should take place behind doors, so the accounts keep their value.

Found this through TechCrunch. Some in the comments say that user is building up the bids himself with accounts created this month. If you can’t trust someone who is selling a digg user account, who can you trust?

[...] How much is a top 75 user on digg worth? According to this auction, $822. I had posted about this auction earlier, Top 100 Digg Profile for Sale on eBay and just realized I hadn’t followed up to see how much it went for, so here you go. The profile looks like it is still valid on digg, and it still has 103 friends, even though some users had been calling for people to drop this profile as a friend in the original digg post. For Auction one Digg.com user profile, currently rated 75th out of about 445,000 registered users. You can check it out here http://digg.com/users/Geekforlife/profile [...]
