Another Ebay scam

People are selling invitations to join Gmail. As I type this, one has a US$48 bid on it.
Once you've signed up for a Gmail account (you have to be invited) you get two invitations to send to friends. Or the highest bidder. So really, you could just pay for the invitation, and sell your two invitations to make the money back. Or sell one and send the other to yourself, and get another two invitations.
If you don't want to buy one, you can start a Blogger account (Blogger and Gmail are both part of Google) and you'll get an invite once you've posted a certain amount.
By the way, my email address is now christop {at} gmail {dot} com.
Props to Tim.
