When domain sold people will then start to see more vaoues in the name, In my own view; the joy of domaining is to get good buyer. I think the sold price is good IMO. There are many thousands of premium domains there unsold due to price. And moreso that the domain has few end users.

Well, I think you are right, because I own SHAPESHIFT/ws.. Just in case.

Under China's crack down on it's nation's crypto currencies holders, China bitcoiners are starting to go under ground to trade the currencies on the over the counter (otc) markets in other countries.. I'm happy to own Bitcoin-otcmarket/com

I'm saying who has the real leverage here. If there aren't that many end users, then it's the buyer. This could be the best offer the seller ever gets.

"ShapeShift" is an incredible brandable. 25K bare minimum this one should have sold for imo.

Not really, that's why there aren't that many end users for it, that could pay that kind of price. List them. When I hear it, I think of shapeshifter "is the ability of a being or creature to completely transform its physical form or shape."

Again, they got $25,000 and a domain most likely for reg fee, that better describes their business. I'm sure they're both happy with the deal.

There a lot of global money associated with ShapeShift, so there should be a number of defensive purchases in the works, especially most, if not all the cctld's. I mean if I were shapeshift I wouldn't leave traffic on the table for the competitoin to pick up. this is the price the big boys (global) must pay for being big, shapeshift is a darn good name to own.

I don't think so in this case, .com is just fine. I checked and some are available for hand reg, others have different kinds of businesses using them.

Well, Shapeshift is global, when some one type in "Shapeshift " in say.. Samoa with a fairly small population, the .ws website will be shown in the top search results offering similar services to the dot-com, Global service providers (if not trademarked) must do defensive buying of cctld's with the most market share, or leave millions of dollars on the tables.. most companies obtain a trademark first, if they can.

.com is global. The rest of your post doesn't make much sense. I know you were hoping for some big payday registering shapeshift.ws but they don't need it. They won't be leaving "millions of dollars on the tables". Again, they can hand reg right now, other cctlds, much larger than Samoa. And again, companies are using other extensions for different sorts of businesses.

Shapeshift.ws is not for sale. Yes dot-com is global, but owning Shapeshift in diffarent cctld's does make a difference.. say in I lived in India, and searched "shapeshift" I would also need to add the dot-com gtld in order to automatically go to the dot-com site, otherwise the cctld of dot "IN" site will rank higher getting some business meant for the dot-com site, money on the table, right?

The point of a "brandable" domain, and it's values, lies in its ability to be applied to any genre.

My point is this term could have been used in any number of fields as a product or service.

Healthcare, Hollywood, Food Services, Transport, Education. The list goes on.

I think of the movie "Altered States", but again I think this domain could have any number of end users pop up.

Yes, number one, but lets say shapeshift.in was a developed web site, anyone in India searching shapeshift within that country will get the ".in" site frist. The reason dot-com is number one over that country's cctld is..(in a word) "content", the only way a tld will out rank that country's cctld or shapeshift/com out ranking shapeshift/in in india is because ".in" is under developed, or haven't been developed (parked) these things can be easily corrected to take a large chunk of market share in that country, and if a competitor did this in alot of cctld's.. well, I would say yes, There's money on the table.

Only the owner truly knows what has come, and gone in the way of real, and lowball offers. They would have surely asked for more, but if the buyer had their number, that is their number. The seller at the end of the day made the call, that in the near term this was the best offer coming their way, and they took it.

Mark White · Sep 20, 2017

Maybe sold for more bitcoin then cash. I mean, put it out that dot-com went for $25k and the others should fall in line with the dot-com doctrine, dot-com is king right?

Could have been. I'm sure if they had a better offer, they would have taken it. Sometimes people get offers, reject them and it turns out it's the only offer they ever get, or they get more, just not as much. Could they have gotten a better offer sometime in the future, maybe, maybe not. But this could be a bird in the hand situation. Again, they have $25,000 and this works just fine for them - http://shapeshiftpilates.com/

Do some basic research first or Google. Shapeshift.in is already taken, it forwards to https://www.okfit.in/home

How about another developed shapeshift cctld. Let's use this one - http://shapeshift.co.uk/

Let's go to Google UK and search on shapeshift - https://www.google.co.uk/search?sou...1.64.psy-ab..0.10.931...0i131k1.0.m--w2OD-_zg

Shapeshift.io is still #1. They don't need these other cctlds to rank.

Mark White · Sep 20, 2017

Could be they own the (.co.uk) version, and if they indeed own the (.co.uk) version why would they feel the need of securing it, when they already had dot io.. or vice versa, and why would they purchase dot-com when they already had (.co.uk) and dot io, sounds like a company that's growing,right? however, could be no one owns that domain name, only because it's still holding the dot io suffix, of course this could be as a result of the domain being forwarded, or redirected to get more web traffic/revnue coming in.
Now, if they don't own the (.co.uk) version and a competitor buys it, what do you think they will do with it? Thier competition can work a forwarded/ redirected domain name
just as easily as they can. This have been known to psiphon revenue in e-commerce. it may even be illegal under certain circumstances.

Ok deal and fair. Not everybody has to price gouge like mike mann etc. and I'm sure Erik is aware of domains and their pricing. Funny fact I hired him to do copywriting 10 years ago on odesk (now upwork). Now he's a crypto multi-millionaire haha

Funny how the stories play out, Jack Ma never got the job at burger king in the end, We know how that story played out.
