Nike is all set to start selling the Nike Air MAG, a pair of shoes that was made popular by Back to the Future Part II. While there is a chance you can own a pair, chances are you’re going to miss out. Nike isn’t mass producing these shoes. Instead, they are selling 1,500 pairs on eBay. Well darn.

Today, Dish Network won a bid in a bankruptcy court auction for Blockbuster. The troubled company brought in a maximum bid for $320 million.

Welcome to the future. Back in 1989, Back to the Future II showed us what it would be like to live in the future. The future is today apparently as the absolutely awesome self-lacing Nike shoe is finally going up for sale. Unfortunately, it’s just one shoe and it’s an auction. The prop was worn more »

You’ve seen the advertisements, “Win this iPod touch for $4.19″ or “the hammer fell on this MacBook for just $15.23.” These temptingly good offers are brought to you by Swoopo, an auction site of sorts that has been shown a lot of hate by our commenters. My post back in September and subsequent interview with more »

Hate your dot com you were forced into taking? Have your e-mails to yourname.com gone unanswered, clearly showing they’ve no intention of closing up shop, even if all they do is put up stupid vacation photos? Yeah, me too. But there is hope for us domain-challenged individuals: an auction on Thursday.

The .me sensationThe Internet powers recently released .me domains and the fanciest (deemed by someone, I suppose) are up for auction in NYC this Thursday. This is the first ever .me public auction!

New to the US market is swoopo.com an auction site, but not one like you know and hate love like eBay. No, swoopo is a very different and interesting concept. The price you pay is the cost of bidding plus the ending final price. Confused?

Each bid costs $1. Yes, you pay to bid. You can buy bids in groups of 20 up to 500. So every time you bid, you are charged $1. Now the flip side of this is the prices are very low on goods. For example, a 2nd gen 8gb iPod touch just went for $73.80 (final sales price, who knows how much that person spent in bids to claim it). They seem stocked with lots of gadgets, laptops and even jewelry.
