kev · 04-22-2006, 05:00 AM

Hi there,

Did i get a good deal on this name do you think?

diddie · 04-22-2006, 05:38 AM

congrats for your sale

kev · 04-22-2006, 05:45 AM

cheers mate.

I thought it was a bit cheap myself at 400 but hey, nice quick profit

diddie · 04-22-2006, 05:48 AM

and what about the .EU transfer issue , any news ?

Amnezia · 04-22-2006, 05:49 AM

i think thats a great price considering how new the extension is

kev · 04-22-2006, 05:51 AM

well it is regged at spacereg.com and ive just contacted them. the guy wants to use escrow for the transfer, so do they handle the transfer? ive never used it before as i thought it was a waste of money but the guys wants it for security which is fair enough

gazzip · 04-22-2006, 05:52 AM

Congrats on your quick sale Kev

cheers gazzip...what a guy!
It could have gone for more but i think people were put off when the winning bidder had zero feedback but i dont think he is a time waster considering he wants to use escrow.

At least i can say i was one of the first .eu sellers

gazzip · 04-22-2006, 06:15 AM

Looks like you may have started a new trend too Kev - The same word is now reg'd in 10 extensions 6 of which are parked at sedo !!

Can you remember how many there was when we talk in PM ?
Was'nt it only about 2 ??
(my PM does'nt work at that moment for some reason so I can't check)

Let us all know how you get on with the transfer as there is a bit of confusion about the whole .eu process at the moment. Let's hope it is not a bumpy ride

Congratz Kev-Keep us posted on the progress of this sale. If you pull it off successfully it would lay to rest a lot of "misconceptions,misinformation" Hoping you have a smooth ride and come out a winner.

kev · 04-22-2006, 06:22 AM

Seriously! Even the .biz wasnt registered a week ago. Thats pretty funny

I think it is a good idea to sell quickly when the hype is up, then i can maybe buy a few 3 letter domains in a few months when people realise they cant sell them for 1000 euros each. Thats the plan. But i really wanted kev.eu

Cheers binaryman. Sorry to hear of your fallen sale

. Your time will come im sure

tetrapak · 04-22-2006, 07:18 AM

In most of the cases i see .biz is not regged and .eu is. I would also reg .eu over .biz anytime.
Kev, imho its an awesome sale, congrats!

Jo · 04-22-2006, 08:49 AM

Congrats Kev! I hope the transfer goes smoothly, please let us know how it all goes. I think .eu will be worth much more than any .biz

Also...I think you received a good deal for a new extension but for myself I would have held off for a few years. I really do think it will be worth high x,xxx or even more in years to come seeing as advertising.eu had such high bids recently (xxx,xxx!)

ammo · 04-22-2006, 09:18 AM

Congratulations! awesome price considering. Let us know if it all goes smooth.

yeah i did think about holding off. If it doesnt go through ill just keep it for a while but people appraised it at reg fee when i put it in Appraisal section, and this was why i sold

fonzie_007 · 04-22-2006, 10:55 AM

Good sale... now the tough part will be is if you can actually transfer or push the domain to the new owner. shh... don't tell Eurid.

ill see how i get on. Either way it is a win win situation for me

1) $400 sale...not bad (i know it is now valuable)
2) Hold on to it and get xxxx in the future

Spacereg haven't replied yet? i'm still confident i can get it through though. Is this the first .eu sale on namepros?

Yes, as far as I know.

kev · 04-22-2006, 11:17 AM

ha lol. I wonder if it is one of the first in the world!

I haven't seen any on sedo and advertising.eu never sold on ebay so this sale could affect the .eu market?

That would be a great asset for the buyer having the first .eu ever resold

Just got this from spacereg. It is possible

Hello,

If you just let us know that your domain should be transferred to its own
account we can do so for free. For security reasons we will contact the
current admin contact, be email, to authenticate the transfer request.
We will not charge for this.
Transferring to another registrar will incur the transfer costs of the
new registrar. Transferring to us costs 15 USD, however
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=189882
with .eu domains you do not get an extra years worth of registration
with the transfer costs (those are the eurid rules!).
Changing the registered owner (Company field in the contact form)
also incurs a cost of 15 USD and again you get no extra years worth of
registration.
However, if you just put the domain name into its own account then
someone else will have access to the domain name.

I hope that answers your questions.

regards,
Patrick

fonzie_007 · 04-22-2006, 12:19 PM

Let me get this straight... Eurid is charging $15 just to change the registrant. Those greedy little #%#*!

It looks like it costs $15 to transfer PLUS you have to pay to re-register? Is that right?

And if you check out the project I'm working on, you'll see the Ebay auctions that have closed so far for .eu's since the beginning:

kev · 04-22-2006, 12:52 PM

the guy hasn't made it clear at all. Ill write back and see what he means. Any idea if it is the first ever .eu sale?

Sam · 04-22-2006, 03:53 PM

Wow, What a great sell for you. Advertises.eu IMO was worth close to reg fee. Looks like this .eu fire is spreading quickly.

its one of those names which you either love or hate i think with the "s" on the end. This was hand regged on the afternoon of the 7th of april so it wasnt pre-order which i find hard to believe!
