Can't say I'm surprised. They seemingly abandoned the site shortly after reopening.
The site is littered with popups to a ridiculous degree, if you're not a subscriber.
The Spointz thing was a farse.
Such a sad thing "skinz.org" has become..........

was peeking in on the current 2 bidders but I don't know how that stuff works over there (me never uses ebay)
snow most likely anyone buying it would use only it's name to increase traffic on an existing site cuz it's so deeply entangled in the web that would be it's only benefit to most right? doubt they are interested in the current db baker? don't you think?

Who knows, maybe something can be done to preserve what is and once was. I've been following closely, the discussion of the current/future state of skinz_org in the deviantART article and I must say, a lot of people still have a positive outlook on things. That's definitely a good sign. I know one of the bidders thus far is part of the community and would want nothing more than to see the proliferation of the community. I say more power to them, and anyone else within the community who places a bid.

Latest bid is 610 dollars......... I don't think 34i is going to see close to 5k.
Jafo...I don't think the problem was lack of emotion, when skinz returned. It was the lack of brown, the abudance of popups, and the attitude of mian, and company. They were never very friendly admins to begin with, but they seemed even more surley when they returned. Then they just disappeared, never responding to anything on the messageboard, and updating infrequently. It was almost as if they wanted to kill it again. This latest incarnation isn't the skinz I knew and loved..........

curious since there is only a few days left, I would think only a porn shop could/would cough up that much for a name such as skinz.org, but if the community builds a pot together who knows?
oh welllll me is being totally nosey! hehe

There are a lot of "sticky" issues when multiple people put money towards a single entity. There would need to be some organized purchase of the Skinz_org package. Trust me, if a group of people get together and pull money together, there will be some clash of who owns what, what they're going to do with it, etc.. I really don't see a group purchase thing happening, if some poeple do pull it off, I don't think enough money could be gathered in such short time. But we can always hope.

Additionally, for Brad, post numbers in these threads would be a big help.

Randy...perhaps a better word than 'emotion' would have been 'pulse'.
It was dead in the water since its resurrection....I know I wasted money supporting it out of nostalgic loyalty...but then I can think of worse places to support...

I would prob be the only one w/ a big enough ego to spend 5K on it just for the fun and love for it, but my bank account is not big enough at the moment... hehe
I think the rest will bid fair prices (somewhere in the 3 digits) but flake out when the price goes anywhere near 5K understandably.
