eBay For Millionaires
AC writes "Got $2 million in assets? Then you can join BillionaireXchange; just the place to find a 2006 Bugatti Veyron with a Start Bid of $1,050,000.00. Or perhaps you are looking for a boat like the Disco Volante (from James Bond), for example the 2000 Azimut Motor Yacht, a lovely 85-footer with a Start Bid of $2,700,000.00. On the other end of the deal, did your hedge fund leave you in the lurch? This is the place to sell those extravagant toys you thought you could afford."
Alternatively, you could try giving your Veyron a salt water wash...

wot no sig
But will they have Airwolf, lasers and the head of Keith Moon? http://m.assetbar.com/achewood/uuacdNd5L
It's because none of us have the right to become a member, unless browsing /. is the latest fad for industrial tycoons and Hollywood A-listers. I'm taking this as a deliberate assult on my rights to make fake bids on speedboats and supercars, and I'll be writing a strongly worded letter to my local governent representative expressing my concern and displeasure.
You can advertise in this sig from as little as £99.99 a month!
No top secret island bases, personal space stations, gold cigar holder and lighter combos that can double as a handgun and definitely no sharks with frikkin laser beams. In short, nothing that any self respecting billionaire /. reader would want to spend their money on.

You would think that a site for billionaires could afford a read web designer and would not use a rocket theme joomla template. http://demo.rockettheme.com/aug08/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
Interesting - you can buy A-rod's house online. I guess winning the world series doesn't pay as much as it used to.

Joe Moneybags: Can I join?
Billionaire Exchange: We need to check how much money you have.
JM: Well you wouldn't want any riff-raff in, would you.
BE: Quite. So can you send us details of all your bank accounts. Oh, we'll need the access codes, passwords and all that.
JM: Not sure about that, can't I fax you the statements?
BE: Any teen with a computer can fake them. Riff-raff, remember?
JM: Umm ... OK, here they are.
[1 week later]
BE: [answering phone] Hello, Billionare Exchange, how can I help you?
JM: What's up. It's me, J Moneybags the third. I was waiting to hear from you guys.
BE: Sorry, you aren't sufficiently wealthy. Short by about 1.9 million, in fact.
JM: But I've got ten million in cash alone!
BE: Correction. You had ten million. Have a nice day now!

Yes, many slashdotters even wear underwear. Let's post articles about underwear, that should be relevant.
Only if they are about where the gnomes are hiding mine.
