Now that anything can be sold on Ebay (including body parts) it should be no surprise that someone wants to sell their own DIGG profile on Ebay.

With all of the recent news about top Digg users being offered cash by Netscape to move over to their competing platform, I’m not surprised to see that someone has apparently placed their top 100 Digg profile up for sale on eBay.

The auction, which started a few hours ago, is for the Digg username GeekForLife. The user has submitted 748 Digg stories, 39 of which have made it to the Digg home page. There are no bidders as of 4 pm PST on Sunday.

There are two arguments for the account having value. First, of course, is the fact that Netscape is now paying top Digg users to switch over. Netscape is looking for actual users, not accounts, though, and so there’s little chance of this account being turned into a valuable income stream at Netscape. Second, high ranking Digg accounts count more than others when they Digg a story, making that story more likely to go to the home page. The account therefore has value, if Digg doesn’t simply turn it off.

This story has, of course, already been put on Digg.

I reported on the the recent news about top Digg users being offered cash by Netscape to move over to their competing platform earlier this month - Jason Calacanis offers to buy out each top digg users for 12,000 year.

However, YouTube channels may be more valuable than DIGG profiles according to Celulares who left a comment at TechCrunch about this story.

Something I find even more valuable are YouTube channels. There are a couple of kids who are very influencial on youtube and have manage to get hundreds of thousands of views and more importantly channel subscribers. I even went about offering some money for an account in the top ten who only has one video uploaded.

I think this is more of a publicity stunt as I can’t imagine anyone is going to pay for an account that means little or nothing without the person who created it.
