Might bog down.....

sags · 09-13-2006, 01:03 PM

The biggest obstacle in this idea might be the 60 day holding period for registrations which is beyond his control. He could "hold" the domain "in escow" on the honour system until they can be legitimately transferred every 60 days. Most domainers are honest people and even the dishonest ones wouldn't want their dishonesty published all over the internet. He could move up the process to every Friday evening. Otherwise there may be no need for domain names by the time he gets done, although I can't think of what could possibly replace them. He also is looking at other ways to keep up interest in his site. Anyway, I wish him well as it at least is an interesting site to follow.

That doesn't seem to be a limitation anymore because he's changed the offering period to 2 weeks now. Something about the 60 day holding period only applying to domain transfers between registrars, not change of ownership within the same registrar.

How come no one spotted that sooner? Anyway, it seems like the owners of NamePros are to thank for that one.

And it's a good thing he reduced it to 2 weeks because I would have lost interest by week 4.

Will the domain on my signature be counted? I can price it in 1 million dollars.

domaindigger · 09-16-2006, 08:04 AM

I know the offering period isn't over yet, but of the ones currently on offer, which do you guys think is the best?

I personally think SeekWork.com is best. It fits the job-seeking industry nicely and is generic. It would be a damn good trade up from oneuglydomain.net

Thoughts?

OK, he's apparently appraised the domains and I was wrong.

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/235856-ugly-1-million-guy-wants-trade.html

The highest appraised domain was ReleaseParty.com for $3,500. But I wasn't too far off because SeekWork.com was the second highest appraised at $1,326.

If he's not lying about those numbers, then I think that answers my original question: he DOES have a chance to get the $1 million.

Voting begins tomorrow, I'll probably go for SeekWork.com (yes, I'm stubborn).

Where has everyone gone, by the way? No one answered my last post. I'm still new here, but since I've answered my own original post, should we close this thread? How do I close it?

gingeman · 09-19-2006, 10:04 AM

to be honest, my opinion is that all he has done is swapped one very average domain for another repeatedly, and I can't see that scenario changing. He might get a domain that is 'appraised' for $1million one day, but selling a domain for that figure is a very different kettle of fish.

yeah maybe but winning a domain appraised for 1 million is still a very good performance, even if its sold for only 10% of the appraisal

domaindigger · 10-01-2006, 05:44 PM

OK, it's official, he's traded OneUglyDomain.net for ReleaseParty.com. That's a pretty good tradeup, better than I expected at least. He's now accepting offers for ReleaseParty.com and he's even accepting .MOBI's.

OneUglyDomain.net was a pretty bad domain, but what do you guys think of ReleaseParty.com?

DropLister · 10-01-2006, 05:49 PM

releaseparty.com is a good domain, i dont know what the previous owner was smoking.

Jammer · 10-01-2006, 05:53 PM

wasn't it offered by Namepros?

***SpareDomains*** · 10-01-2006, 05:58 PM

ReleaseParty.com is pretty hot, he will probably reject a lot of offers at this stage as it will take something pretty good to be a fair trade for that one.

You're right, he's actually rejected the first 3 offers. I don't remember him doing this in the first round.

Jo · 10-01-2006, 07:43 PM

What's a release party? Is that a new album party? Or a movie? Who holds the party? Who would buy this domain? I like seekwork better.

Jammer · 10-01-2006, 08:00 PM

A release party cound be all of the above...music,movies etc.Limited market unless your well connected and know the right people.
Another idea could be another social networking site capitalizing on the user generated content market of music,video,film etc similiar to myspace.

Coopey · 10-02-2006, 03:10 PM

I voted for the worst domain, and have found that the novelty wore off pretty quick.
It would have been much more interesting going up in small increments, but to from a $6 domain to a $3500 domain is a big jump, and now he's going to start struggling so early on.

I wonder if oneuglydomain.net will ever earn that $3500...

briman1970 · 10-02-2006, 04:20 PM

I just sent him a bunch... let's see if he bites.

briman1970 · 10-05-2006, 01:56 AM

He bit... he chose to accept IHD.mobi and CelebrityAffairs.com for the next round of voting. Wish me luck!

So far I have the only 2 domains he's chosen from 23 he's been offered. Not too shabby!

Not too shabby at all, sir!

I was thinking about offering releaseparty.info, as a joke of course, what with it being so obviously worth less than the .com he owns...

CelebrityAffairs.com is worth a lot of money...far more than the $3500 of releaseparty.com. I hope he appreciates your contribution.

Wow, CelebrityAffairs.com is a good offer, well done. Good luck to you!

domaindigger · 10-13-2006, 08:56 AM

For those still interested, the voting for the ReleaseParty.com trade has begun. The 5 contenders are:

* MobileLogo.mobi
* GuideNet.tv
* WeekendResort.com
* IHD.mobi
* CelebrityAffairs.com

Which do you guys think is the most valuable? My vote is for CelebrityAffairs.com

Good luck to those who submitted the offers.

I think hes hit a wall here. Or even started going backwards...

Not a lot of great choices IMO, but I did vote...one of 3 votes!
