[...] Everything in the digital world is free. It’s a world of abundance — I give you something (a photo, a song, some software or information) and yet I still have it. Anyone working in marketing knows the truth: that people value stuff that’s free as though it were valueless. Online marketeers occasionally create false scarcity to give a free service the perception of value; you may recall for instance the buzz when hard-to-get Gmail beta invites sold on eBay, or when Pownce invites did the same three years later.

[...] Getting invitations to private betas can be a frustrating experience for early adopters. If you don’t know someone who’s already in the beta it could end up being a very long wait. Over the last few years invitations for some betas were so hard to get that they ended up for sale on eBay – Gmail is the most famous example but recently Pownce invites were also put up for sale.

[...] Obtenir des invitations à des services en mode privés peut être une expérience frustrante si vous êtes un utilisateur curieux. Si vous ne connaissez personne qui est déjà en train de tester le produit vous devrez vous armez de patience. Sur ces dernières années les invitations aux versions beta des nouveaux services web peut s’avérer si difficiles à obtenir que l’on en trouve parfois en ventes sur eBay – Gmail est l’application la plus populaire dans ce sens mais récemment des invitations sur Pownce ont également été mises en ventes.

I see several Buy-it-now at $2.50 and nobody’s buying. Where’s the news here? If I put crap for sale on eBay, will I make it in Techcrunch too?

There is NO market of Pownce accounts on eBay. That’s the news in case someone cares.

Please…. Don’t… I mean do not even think about comparing the fever GMail caused in people dying to get an account with Pownce.

Wow, I didn't know it was such a hot commodity. Alright then, I'll throw in a pownce invite alongside a USB humping dog for the winner of the Googlebot competition. Actually, maybe I'll just give them away to anyone who enters. I wonder what the max price for an invite will be. Any guesses?

Interesting to see if the market for Pownce takes off at all – at this point I don’t think there is the same sort of hype as for GMail.

It is not about anything coming up on ebay for sale..But anything ridiculous that comes up on sale gets hyped up in Techcrunch also. Just sometime back we had this German Twitter clone on ebay blown up here..
