It appears that Wordpress has decided to try and bully a couple guys who are selling Wordpress tutorials.
This is a classic example of scarcity thinking. Wordpress could become an affiliate for these tutorial sites and make lots of money to help support their open source project, just like they do with hosting recommendations.
Instead, they call these excellent tutorial sites “scammers” and “snake oil”… un-freaking-believable.
Michel Fortin has the full scoop…

4Hey Armas,
It may be true. I just purchased a domain through the auction, right after the auction expired, so I picked it up for $5.00
It did take a couple weeks, ( I had forgotten about the purchase) and I got an email that the domain was now in my Godaddy account.
ordered on Dec. 26, received it on Jan. 8th
