Orkut on eBay

Want an Orkut invite? Try eBay. Since Orkut is an invitation only version of Friendster, invites can be hard to come by for people with more money than social skill. That's where eBay comes in, with people selling invites for "Buy It Now" prices of $3.50 - $11, with one auction actually fetching $11.00. I wonder how these auctions mesh with eBay's Downloadable Media Policy?
[Update: When I sent this to three friends via IM, they all responded with one word replies: "Crazy", "Sick" and "Nice."]
[Update 2: You can get them for $2.00 a pop (via Many-to-Many]

Although... Orkut looks a little slow / down right now, so I wonder if someone profiting from eBaying Orkut invites could claim damages to their business? hehe
