When Ebay initially purchased Skype for $2.5B, it had the grandiose plan of integrating its capabilities into its online auction business to faciliate buyer/seller communication.

It was generally perceived at that time that Ebay had overpaid in the Skype acquisition by a long shot.  Now, it appears, Ebay should "auction" off Skype and right it's sagging business

PREDICTION: A favorable judgment can only be made if any of the following occurs by the end of June 2009:

  1. Ebay formalizes its intention by announcing its plan to sell of Skype (brand and/or assets)
  2. Ebay announces sale of Skype (brand and/or assets)
  3. Ebay spins off Skype

@TIS, please change the bet closing date to June 30, 2009.


Got it, thanks!


@Eric, if you could fix the year (2009 instead of 2010) as well, that would be great :)
