Can't Afford Facebook.com? Try Facemash.com Instead

Before there was Facebook, or even TheFacebook, there was Facemash.com, the site Mark Zuckerberg coded in his Harvard dorm room for his own version of Hot or Not. In its original form, Zuckerberg uploaded pictures of Harvard University women, placing two at a time side by side and asking visitors to click on which was the hotter female. Sexiest? Sure, but it also reportedly played a crucial role in Zuckerberg's decision to found Facebook.
In any event, Facemash.com is now up on the auction block. Some 600 visitors normally visit the site per month, though that number has jumped to more than 1,000 per day since the movie The Social Network popped up in theaters.
Of course there's that whole question of legitimacy, but a quick peek at the DNS info makes everything at least appear to be kosher. Flippa currently has it listed with a Buy It Now price of $125,000.
