I pre-bidded on the domain Sued.com for $8k before live auction started.

When the internet bidder posted $7k the auctioneer said the internet bidder won. Then the auctioneer corrected himself that there's a proposed bid of $8k which is the highest bid. I thought it means I'm the winner so I left to get my beer.

However, the auction continued. The auctioneer asked any more bid bla bla and a room bidder placed a $9k bid. I run back to my PC when I heard it but it was too late. My broadband speed sucks tonight otherwise I could have heard what the auctioneer said more clearly and timely. :'(

Anyway, a great domain and it's a bargain. Congrats to the buyer and the seller!!! It's time to move on.

I'm sure you are not the only one tonight. The auctioneer is really fast and I think they missed several bids for the same reason.

I shouldn't have gone for beer that quick ...

Look on the bright side... Think of how much beer you can buy now with the extra $8K burning a hole in your pocket :laugh:

Dude, beer is very important IMHO (I'm serious!) ... what would you have done developmentally (if you don't mind me asking) with the domain name Sued.com? :gl: :talk:

LOL, true!

I'm looking for a quality .com domain for a reserved legal project with my partner. I have another domain HelpYou.com which works great for this niche but since there are some nice offers came in, I prefer to find another short and decent name to replace it. I have contacted many domain owners but so far this one is in the most reasonable price range so I decide to take it (it also comes with useful typein traffic)

And I missed it finally.

Again, thanks guys, I feel much better now (after drinking some beer) :yell:

I'm glad you feel better (the icey cold beer helps (21+)), but - humbly - I believe you (or the beer) actually saved yourself on this one, IMHO. :$: :yell:

Unsure, for me maybe it's the whole "past tense" thing ... though still a good domain name! :gl:
Be safe, and see you soon.

Yeah, its always the beer. I hear it all the time! By the way, Sued.com is a nice LLLL which is also a great keyword. I could see why you are upset.

It's not over till the fat lady has sung.

and don't assume, because you make an 'ass u me'

but don't beat yourself up though for it, it's an ok/good buy - not a big steal or anything.
and besides, if you wanted that sued.com domain that's related....buy, for example, suecenter, sueworld, etc. instead - save money, and still have a pretty strong case.


yes, a single dot com looks good - but it's definitley not everything, or nowhere near that by itself.

it still requires the same amount of effort to push and promote a concept

Hi,
i can't tell you how much you loose or won because you don't get this domain but i can tell you my generally opinion:

don't be frustrated...today,tomorrow or day after you will get your domain
or maybe you will get a chance to get a domain that is much better then the domain that you don't get,this is not the first and last domain that you will not get but therefore you will have many chances to get a other domain in future days and to be not frustrated:
be positive,think positive...today or tomorrow is a new day to get your domain...look at a lighter side:you have drink beer and i propose that you whas with your wife and that's also very good thinks,positive thinks...
example: if i must choose between beer(i don't drink beer but some juice will be also good) and a day with my wife and on the other side:a domain,well:
i take the beer and day with wife :)

don't let that domains controls you(and your life)...you must take the control over the domains

think positive and positive thinks will happen(sooner or later)

regards
Ron

Mate....I was the bloke that posted the $7k bid that "won" that auction....They even confirmed it to me (and, it still shows in my Snapnames account as a name I won!!)

Then, I watched the buggers suddenly declare there'd been another, earlier bid for $8k (yours?) - and, I watched them invalidate my 'winning' bid...and start bidding again....!!....I let it go, then....


I'll share that cold beer with you.... :)

Thank you, Ron and bamaboy, I'm fine today/now.

Cheers! DomainTalker! I knew it should be one of our fellow NPer who post that $7k :)

Well, you know what they say - if at first you don't suck 'sued', try try again :)

Sorry, that sounds like a serious bummer. :( I'm sure it won't happen to you again.
Good karma now awaits you :))
