They had/have a certain cachet (to borrow a phrase I recently read) and
demand outstripped supply for a while. I'm not sure if that's still the
case, but it is free email with 1 GB of storage. I've already given away
half of the ones I offered under an hour ago.
They were selling/trading on Craigslist for a while but I haven't
checked lately. I don't know if anyone bothered with eBay.
I think that an _at_gmail.com account is considered the opposite of an
_at_aol.com account as far as coolness goes! :)

Are these in high demand or something? Of what benefit are they? Can I
buy some on eBay?
