This is a history making auction. Yes I am asking for ONE MILLION DOLLARS. I am working on the next big Web $2.00 company that will change how people deal with digital content. I need money to jump start the development of the company and enable be to get quick to the market. Since I started on the idea back in March 2006, doing good progress but not fast enough.

I bought this Paystation 3 from Sony Playstation store on December 2nd 2006, after meeting with a potential partner. I waling back to my car then saw a person getting out of Metreon Mall walking with on. Then I went to the and found the line and stood there. I was number 4 without a sticker (guaranteed to buy one). I calculated that the probability of getting one is high (number of people in line, the fact that this is Sony's store, plus information that they are not sure about the number of units they have) so I stuck there. And Lucky enough after 40mins I got a sticker and left the store with a PS3 in hand after a total less than 2 Hours in line. Well that is a record time.

Now I am asking for the funding money for my company in exchange of equity in the company. You will be helping creating the next big Internet company, in a historic way. I apologize that I can't have a picture of myself since I still have a day job. Also, the company is sill in stealth mode. Two of the photos shows my current office.

What you will get

A brand new sealed in box Sony Playstation 3 PS3, second batch, with receipt

A nice Sony playstation store bag
An equity 99Sparks, Inc. for the 95% of the auction price
Huge Publicity and Media Coverage, for this history making auction.

He's an engineer? .....I think he needs to stay away from the crack pipe

He relisted, auction ends in 2 hours and so far there's 1 bid $50. I'll see if I can snipe it for $75. Most likely the auction will be in 1000's in 1 hour.
