Windows Live Beta Invites Being Sold On eBay

December 20th, 2005 • Related • Filed Under

I would love to get an invite to the Windows Live Messenger 8 beta (dropping a big hint if anyone takes pity on me - everton@connectedinternet.co.uk!) but I’m not desperate enough to pay for one. Once again eBay has proven that you can create a market for anything and invites are appearing for sale.

One item that finishes soon made me chuckle. The current price is $44CAD which is ludicrous, but the seller has the cheek to add $0.01CAD on for shipping!

    They are free now but when the beta first started you could only get the beta by invite.
