From ugly to $1 million, guy wants to trade up his ugly domain name - Page 51

briman1970 · 05-25-2007, 02:31 AM

OUD is back.

Highlights:
- Andres is going to share 50% of the 1 million with traders (not equally).
- The offer on the table will be added to the vote.
- Andres has veto power as a "last resort".
- Namepros members will vote in-forum and have the final say if Andres vetos a trade.
- Voting lasts 24 hours.
- Voting has started with 7 names/sets including the OnlineCasino.im set. It would've been 9 names/sets, but two people pulled their offers.

Good luck Andres!

Sounds good to me

Glad to see it back Andres!

RJ · 05-25-2007, 12:58 PM

Brilliant changes. The incentive plan is an especially good move.

Now if we can just get a good domain back on the trading block.

RogueWriter · 05-25-2007, 01:04 PM

Nice save, Andres. Good luck.

*Nods*

Whilst I like the .im set, I'm personally hoping for a .com or .net to appear soon enough

It has been so entertaining watching this site evolve.It has been like watching a young politition.First it was full of hope and ambition,now it has become full of "justified" corruption.Imo,its another sad human example of what happens to good people and good ideas way to often.I guess this is natural human evolution and all of these small examples paint us a scary picture of where we are heading if we dont realize this and change.

Brujah · 05-26-2007, 05:16 PM

I hope he vetos this round and grabs YouthCollege.com just to get things moving again.

Care to backup these 'corruption' claims?

domaindigger · 05-28-2007, 10:21 PM

He's sharing $500,000 and there are still no offers? Not a good sign for OUD.

Brujah · 05-28-2007, 10:39 PM

Ugh.. somebody wake me when the .im's are gone!

He's doing that thing of not telling people the current offers until the offering round has finished AFAIK? I've sent offers in

Do you really think that he is going to get a million?

Erdy · 05-29-2007, 10:49 AM

There are 3 .org names offered right now. I'm not really a favorite of org domains. I hope somebody will offer a 4 letter .com.

If only we could have a cvcv.com offered. That would be perfect.

They're my .org names

I might offer up an LLLL.com or two up at a later date, who knows.

Just for giggles, ran all the OUD trades through Estibot.com's instant appraiser. All looks pretty good, except for ReleaseParty being too high.

OneUglyDomain.net Reg Fee
ReleaseParty.com $5,778
CelebrityAffairs.com $215
VoiceTone.mobi $20
RealitySeries.tv $78
YoG.mobi $137
F9Y.com $240
TriGuard.com $689 + TriGuard.net $48 + TriGuard.org $49 (Total $786)
Consolidate.biz $420
354.net $1,083
Casino.rw $1,374
OnlineCasino.im $140 + Wifi.im $125 + OnlinePoker.im $197 (Total $462)

End result = 7 trade ups, 4 trade downs

RogueWriter · 05-30-2007, 02:56 PM

$20 a measly $20? VoiceTone.mobi, you broke my heart!

Estibot is going to kick every other free appraisal system to the curb.

I think the appraisal of ReleaseParty.com is amazingly accurate RJ.

BTW, the uncapitalized version spit out $905.

I've been gone for a week, save for a few times in which I managed to get online. I see that Andres made a lot of good changes. But good changes mean nothing whatsoever unless they WORK. I'll keep my eye on this round... Andres should just accept a decent .com so we can move on, though.

He needs to be offered a .com before he can accept one. Only .org's and .name's offered so far this round...

Brujah · 05-31-2007, 01:12 AM

He could've taken YouthCollege.com but kept the .im's again instead. I'm certain the round he gets rid of those .im's for a .com/.net or even a .info, he'll get better offers. I hope he doesn't gamble with odd TLDs again like that. He needs to strategize, and play this like a chess game. He's playing his future traders. He has to play to their desires and moves.

The only thing hindering these are the rapidly approaching reg fees which total over $300. If the names had several months of reg left, they'd already be gone IMHO.

tristanperry · 05-31-2007, 01:32 AM

Just wondering if your offer to renew at least one of the .im names is still available?

Also, someone should probably offer up a good .com/.net if they want to see OUD progress further

I pulled that offer after Andres changed the rules in the middle of the last round.

Okay fair enough
