Aye yi yi.... Reactions, anyone?

BERLIN, N.J., March 20 /PRNewswire/ -- An unemployed laborer hopes to generate millions by selling his domain names on eBay. How, you might ask, did Steven Zoe Hafto, an unemployed laborer, end up on eBay? With his employer's doors closed, and his unemployment and medical insurance about to expire, Steven at the age of 48 is hard-pressed to find a job. Without a formal education he began surfing the Internet to make a living. He came up with an outline for a website - a website where he and others can share their experiences on how one can make money on the web then post it on his website for free, hence the name http://www.followmeforfree.com/

Needless to say you need money. So he took out his credit card, found a hosting company, bought a few domain names so he could get into affiliate programs and started a limited liability company, SNAH LLC, named after his three sons. Now he needs to learn web design, about which he has no clue. He has the will and will find the way. Steven believes when your back is against the wall you are forced to come out of your comfort zone. The American dream is pulling oneself up by their boot straps.

By selling some of his domain names such as LockYourBet, FirstInTheUS, DareToVacation, APlanToWin and ThisTo.com he hopes to generate monies to start up http://www.followmeforfree.com/ and support his family. Steven had two inquiries via e-mail for $900,000.00 each for two different blocks of names, GirlsUpStairs.com and NascarToyotas.com. The inquiries came from LA and IL. Since the offers fell through he is putting them back on eBay. You can Google SNAH LLC or FollowMeForFree. On eBay, in search, type in domain names, all categories; sort by the highest price first. You can also notice them on eBay by the picture next to his names, the American flag shaped like the United States.

His research on the Internet indicates growth, and good domain names are hard to come by. Steven believes most of his .coms like KnowingIS and ThinkingIS.com are some of the great names and will generate a great deal of news/business for anyone who buys them. Steven sold http://www/. AnnaNicoleSmithTheBook.com for $2,850,000.00 on eBay, and then the bidder reneged. Steven is selling his .com names consisting of two to ten names per block, which coincide with one another; as a result these names may be redirected to the one central name the buyer chooses. Steven states, "You never know losing my job may have been the best thing that ever happened to me."

Even though he is asking for a million or so he is open to offers and is also looking for help/partners.

Well, ain't that a pisser...his site is gone.

Just like his bidders.

Focus, I told you not a penny over $2.5mil for AnnaNicoleSmithTheBook.com but you just wouldn't listen to me.

I don't have an extra $350K laying around. Next time do as I say.

I remember a guy that came her trying to sell Anna Nicole domains...

Actually, it was Paris Hilton selling the domains if you remember. And GD gave me an infraction for commenting in the sales thread!

Worst.... Press Release... Ever

Seriously.

Isn't "Unemployed Laborer" like a double negative also?
How can you be a laborer if you're unemployed? :D

I think the word you're looking for is Oxymoron...inherent contradiction. And yes, it is a very strange way for someone to be described in a "news article".
