However, the thing that makes items valuable, is the people that want them.
I personally think the whole idea of trying to get a low number for people to remember, is fine, but to put a value on it, is just completely ridiculous. :-) I mean, we're not talking about 800 numbers here, and for that matter, even those aren't worth much these days. There's always going to be lots of people that offer lots of money for completely trivial, stupid and worthless things. Who would have thought those low numbers would be worth something in a near future or did the three programmers knew they would get 400 million dollar for the software a couple of years later?Ī world gone crazy? And, are you really a much cooler person with a low ICQ number? I forgot the passwords for them as quickly as I got them -) In the beginning (the week they started!) I was registering those things as much I drink water. I have secured my UIN's with the most difficult passwords so they won't succeed that way in a long time. One time I got an email from Mirabilis telling me people were trying to get the login using a brute force attack. The example I started this thread with is just one of the many examples how they allready tried to get my numbers. I'm not going to tell you how much because you wouldn't believe it anyway. I have a very low 5 digit and two low 6 digit UIN's and I started to get offers for it more than a year ago from the strangest people and yes, companies. It's going on for a long time allready and people are stealing the low numbers because other people are paying a lot of cash for it.
Hmmmm, I thought you guys knew about this.
