I believe pg mentioned somewhere that they didn't actually make anything out of the whole ordeal after paying back their investors; fees were probably the least of their concerns ;). Still, an interesting use case of eBay.


Actually we did make something like 40k a piece after taxes. So it wasn't bad (we were 22 at the time, seemed like a lot then!).


Congrats :)! Now that you mention it, I believe I recalled incorrectly. I think PG mentioned that you guys used the proceeds to bootstrap your next business, Justin.tv, not that you guys didn't make anything out of the eBay auction (strictly speaking).


how is it not a lot at any age?


Compared to, say, SocialCam selling for $60M.
