You could end up with a bidding war similar to personalised car licence
plates.
Numbers like 1, 13 and dare I say it 69 may raise a lot of interest. Then
again this could be a good thing if people are prepared to pay for these
numbers via an auction and thus become a good money earner for Lugnet
Corporation.
Whether this would result in a thriving black market in "Lugnet ID Numbers"
would remain to be seen. For instance, Wes De Beer could successfully bid
US$231 on ID number 1 then sell it a year later to say Eve Asian for US$541.
Whether Todd would be happy with this is unknown but a lot of people could
stand to make a lot of money if the whole situation isn't handled properly.

| (...) I like the idea of auctioning them off. Set the start price at $0.00 for each number, if no one counterbids within say a week they get the number. All numbers withing the range the database can handle are open from day one. So if you want a (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
