Sell #amazonfail gear

there are already people selling #amazonfail merchandise through CafePress or other websites, but wouldn't it be nice to own THE place to get everything #amazonfail ?

shirts, mugs, stickers, and more can be branded and sold with the now-famous phrase.

More Uses for AmazonFail.com

surely this whole #amazonfail incident will be chronicled thoroughly. bloggers have already done thorough writeups, but i guarantee graduate students will do case studies, and i would expect people to write full books about it. wouldn't it be great to own www.AmazonFail.com to promote a book of the same title?

As my other posts have listed, there are many ways to monitize this website. There is surely attention now, but the opportunity to brand this domain as THE amazon complaint center is unbelievable.

Once again, here's the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250406462610

If you'd like to buy it outright, email amazonfail@gmail.com

Media Exposure Continues

the blogosphere continues to erupt, and #amazonfail is still the hottest search on Twitter. Here's a great blog describing the whole fiasco:

As I previously stated, the Seattle PI has picked up this story and it's currently on their front page. AmazonFail.com is looking more valuable by the minute.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Picks up Story

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has now reported on the #amazonfail scandal and the related sale of www.AmazonFail.com . Obviously, increased exposure means increased interest.

Check out the auction on eBay, or send me an email (amazonfail@gmail.com) if interested in the website.

AmazonFail.com for sale

In light of Amazon.com's recent scandalous anti-LGBT behavior, I have decided to offer multiple AmazonFAIL properties for sale. Twitter users have coined this scandal AmazonFail, and that name can be continued for any future Amazon problems.


I am selling as a package:

www.AmazonFail.com (invaluable - think PayPalSucks.com)
This blog (amazonfail.blogspot.com)
AmazonFail@gmail.com

I will put this package on eBay, but I will also accept individual offers, and I reserve the right to sell at any time. Email amazonfail@gmail.com with any questions or offers.
