would any female climbers be interested in the following g-mail address: rockclimbergirl@gmail.com
i think its a pretty cool address (no random numbers at the end or anything) and its a great e-mail system.
anyway, i was hoping to get around 10$ (or highest offer) for it. rather than turn this into ebay, pm me or send me a message at birchwood1975@yahoo.com if youre interested.......
if i were to give it someone, i would just send them the password to the account, then they could change the password to whatever they wanted.

wow.
that is about the single worst idea I've had the misfortune of being subjected to in the last nine months, and that includes all the people who voted for bush. why would you do such a thing?

In reply to: why would you do such a thing?
people often like to have e-mails that reflect an interest of theirs, that say something about them. and its more desirable to have an email like rockclimbergirl than, say, rockclimbergirl129.
anyway, noones twisting your arm; if you're not interested, no need to reply.

Everything revolves around the almighty dollar and making a buck. Where will it end? Matter of fact, why did it get started in the first place? oh, never mind....

oh, getting cool or company domain names and selling them for profit is sooo 90s.... you missed the train.
ebay you say.... i want to see it... but the question is, does it come with the cane? Can i see virgin mary on it?
you most probably cannot sell gmail addresses for profit. check your user aggreement. google might cancel that address if they find out.

I would find it difficult to pay $ 10 for an account that comes for FREE. But whatever.
Oh... if you want to be invited to gmail and get your own account. PM me.
I will send you an e-vite for FREE.
On a related note, saw an e-bay auction a while back where someone sold an X-Box box (no game machine, just the box mind you) for $ 330. This is when X-box first came out and retailed for 299.

Wow... You sure are gonna get rich scalping free email account. :lol:
And one that has been posted on the net in a thread, as is yours, so now it will be on plenty of SPAM lists. Good thinking.

In reply to: In reply to: why would you do such a thing? well, james, i'll bet u can figure it out if u think real hard... people often like to have e-mails that reflect an interest of theirs, that say something about them. and its more desirable to have an email like rockclimbergirl than, say, rockclimbergirl129. anyway, noones twisting your arm; if you're not interested, no need to reply.
i'm not interested, but i will still take advantage of the opportunity to call you an idiot.
hah... selling 'lame' gmail accounts. can it get more retarded?
i'd consider paying $10 to see something this stupid once a month.

This is funny. Not the offer, but the people bashing it.
It is not a free email account. It was free to the first taker. Now it's taken. It's no different than if I offered a free car, someone accepted, then sold it. Would it have zero value because it was free? Nope. Supply and demand. If there's someone out there who wants that addy more than they want $10, it'll sell.
I'd ridicule if the request was for a lot of money, but $10 is not unreasonable for an account you can have for free thereafter.

hmmm.. it may come at a higher price than $10. Who knows what kind of crap mail you will inherit from an account that was pre-existing :? This seems personally wierd to me. I didn't realize you could just sell an email adress like this. could the original owner be hawkin the account cause there is unwanted email coming in on that account? anyway, just a thought...

hows this for an amazing offer... surgeongeneral@gmail.com... just for five dollars..
you too could have your very own personal gmail account for just two easy payments of just 5 dollars; thats right, just five dollars three times...
think about it... you could be known as the surgeon general of gmail... the possibilities are endless people!... endless!!...
if you act now, ill even throw in this very tiny bottle of "insta jerky"
now you can make all the jerky you ever wanted, instantly...
bums have been living off of insta jerky for years folks...
just find a dead pigeon, place a few drops using our patent pending stick... and bam.. jerky for the whole family folks... thats right, one pigeon feeds the whole family*... (*results are not typical)

Like, wow! rockclimbergirl@gmail.com though? That's, like, so totally too lame enough. So is climbsomething. It's so androidness or something (that means neither nor masculine or feminist. I learned it on who wants to be a millionaire last night).
How about climbingrrl@gmail.com or chikclimber@gmail.com or flailingfootscrapingtopropinggirlfriend@gmail.com ?
Ya! Climbing totally rocks! Get it? YA!!
