Another, more ambitious, would-be profiteer asked for $100,000 for five sites he’d registered through GoDaddy, including vamassacre.com and vatechcarnage.com. He covered his ad in American flags and described his sites as “Great Domain Names for a Memorial Fund Development… Our Hearts go out to all the victims and families of Virginia Tech Massacre!”
Matt Owens opened bidding for virginia-tech-rampage.com at $1,000. He set his Buy It Now price at $10,000. On the listing, Owens wrote that virginia-tech-rampage.com is a “great domain name for development!” He posted a photo of an angel in a short white dress hovering next to a cross.
