Also, if any MacSlash readers have an idea on how I can transfer an AAC please let me know." Hmm, I would have figured that out before I tried to sell it. [Update 4:48p EDT] The song is now up to $350. /Quote

PS I just checked and the bids are now in the $800s! It'll be interesting to see what happens next.

Aah, looks like we have our first reseller. Presuming Apple will notice, it will be interesting to see what, if anything, happens to this entrepreneur.

It's really out of hand now, $100,100.00
I think the seller is worried about the high bid and allowing bidders to cancel.
Over 53,800 hits on the item page. This is an interesting situation where no transaction will take place until the auction is over. The price is now a joke, what will happen next?

There is nothing about this in the agreement for the iTunes music store?
