Strange things are happening these days. Pownce, a free, alpha social network, must be holding gold : people are selling their invites on ebay at $9.95. Now that's strange. Webware's Rafe Needleman was giving out his invites, but apparently there has been a run for it and now they're all gone.

Pownce is covered here by Techscape. Mashable also has some words about the popular service and invites into it.
