I have the email elvis@elvis.com and I've heard in the past that nice email addresses have been sold on ebay.

Was just wondering if anyone thinks anyone might actually pay for the address, because its definitley easy to remember, and elvis fans of course would probably like it, and maybe how much it might be worth.

Maybe it's because I'm not a major fan, but I would think that other than an E impersonator, the market wouldn't be so great. Of course, iffin I'm wrong, laugh all the way to the bank.

You'll fetch quite a good price if you promote your ebay auction. I'm not that big of an Elvis fan, but I'd give you a few hundred dollars for it. I give out my email address a few dozen times a week to someone in person. It would be a lot easier if I could tell them that address.

Just think of how much more likely it is that that blonde girl in the bar would remember elvis@elvis.com.

Just out of curiousity, how did you come about getting it? Are you affiliated with Elvis' estate and have access to the whole domain, or did you just get that vanity address somehow?

SOLD! ONLY PROBLEM IS: and its a big problem... Just found out that Elvis.com email doesnt have a feature where you can change your email password. :( So of course, I don't think anyone would want to buy it, knowing they cant change the password.

Actually, Elvis.com offers free email, and i just got it that way. I'm in no way affiliated with them.

Elvis-mania is very much alive and kicking and I think you really could sell it for more than a couple of hundred bucks. But the people behind the actual domain might have something to say about that being their asset and not your asset, so I would tread very carefully and read their terms of service before pursuing it.
