Warning against a member...

[Coral Cove]

I strongly urge any of you going into business with Dejan Lesicar (NamePros member @venturefile.com and owner of sites like sexydress.us) to be very cautious. He is about to cost our company Brandroot a lot of stress and money as we pursue serious legal action against him.

In short the details are as follows:

4/08/2014 - Dejan creates a Brandroot account
5/09/2014 - Wuvo.com is accepted and listed for sale at a price of $6750
09/29/2014 - Dejan requests that Wuvo.com be removed from Brandroot because "The name was accepted to an auction event."
10/14/2014 - Brandroot receives a $3,000 offer for wuvo.com
10/14/2104 - Dejan rejects and reminds us that he removed his name

We then remind him of his contractual obligation of keeping Wuvo exclusive to Brandroot for a period of 30 days following the request of removal.

10/15/2014 - In the interested buyer impatience he raises his offer to $4500.

Dejan is intrigued and writes, "Thank you for the update. That is a decent offer and I will seriously consider it." For several days Dejan is unresponsive, ignoring several of our emails.

10/22/2014 - In a matter of minutes of informing Dejan that he is no longer welcome to sell at Brandroot and that Wuvo.com will be removed, Wuvo.com sells at full price for $6750.

10/22/214 - Dejan decides that he does not want to sell Wuvo at Brandroot and that my email stating that his name was removed ended his contractual obligation with Brandroot (which the email in no way stated).

Our financial loss due to Dejan's unprofessionalism is not the concern. Brandroot is now left with one very unhappy customer threatening us with litigation. We have informed Dejan that we will stop at nothing, "making this venture of [his] a lot more expensive and stressful than [he] thought possible."

You've been warned. Dejan Lesicar is very capable of leaving you in one sticky situation if you enter into business with him.

This may be off topic, but the whole "nancy" term, being that my mothers name is nancy, has a broader meaning. Yes the vast majority of domainers are men (I'm a gal) but calling someone a "nancy", is akin to calling someone a sissy. Wowzers.

 

[Coral Cove]

I was referring to the negative Nancy.

We have a kid at our house who just got a degree ........he knows it all as well, he told me infallible was not a word the other day (while holding a laptop) when i said do a search and you will see that it is, the response was 'i have not been in school for 4 years" to which i replied ...... 'it's been 35 years for me, what's your point?" I love a good comedy

"Nancy" is basically translated to "girlie man." NOT a good thing to call us.

I didn't expect anything less from the Nancy's at NamePros. The overall sentiment is for this swindling domain owner Dejan, which was very much expected at this forum, and not for the individual who put out almost 7k for a domain and now has lost any chance of getting it.

You're confusing 2 issues. Whether the domain seller breached your terms is separate from the question of whether or not you handled the situation well and the fact that you're being criticized for posting here does not imply that anyone is sympathizing with him. It just means that people don't think you're handling this very well, pure and simple.

Generally speaking, what you'll find is that when a customer posts a complaint about a business, that that will be perceived as a public service, but that when a business posts a complaint about a customer that will be perceived as vindictive and unprofessional. That may not seem fair and you may not like it, but that's a reality of life. The only exception might be when a customer does something really egregious such as committing credit fraud, but even then the posting would need to sound professional and be free of personal attacks.

Additionally, when a business owner starts publicly exchanging insults with people, that always backfires on the business owner -- ALWAYS. That's because behaving professionally means keeping your cool and not letting your emotions get the best of you. Nobody wants to do business with someone that's quick to roll around the mud. Try for a second to imagine the CEO of a major corporation handling things the way have. It's unthinkable, and there's a good reason for that.

I know that you're upset and that you feel cheated, but you should really give some thought to handling things differently in the future because it makes little sense to respond to the loss of a deal by doing further damage to your business.

Just so we're clear, I mean this as constructive criticism so please refrain from responding with an attack. Cheers.

All right, let's be serious here: I recall the thread about BR when you first signed up to NP. I decided to try BR because it sounded professional, something I wanted to be a part of. This thread is something a user would post, to slander a company. Instead though, it's the other way around. Your best bet would be to apologize to us for dragging it out & CLOSE THIS THREAD. Come on,are you not a professional? This is YOUR business/issue, yet you're damaging your company for the sake of a bit of money. Just close this thread and hope the wounds heal

Just say the word!

Thank you @discobull, non of my responses have been an attack. I'm just unwilling to not defend myself.

I don't believe one is able to close threads at NamePros. And yes, many NamePro members have tried hard to slander Brandroot just the same as they have slandered countless other businesses here like BB and Namerific. I let Dejan know that I would warn other domainers of his behavior at NamePros and other forums if he did not continue with the transaction as he was contractually obligated. This was his choice. Such a large deception should not go untold, especially in an industry where trust is a huge part of the business. If anyone slandered his name, he did it himself by being stubborn enough to refuse the transfer of the domain.

@Rader

Having an issue with a particular user Vs. Calling the whole fraternity names, are two separate issues.

Mind not, but that doesn't make sense.

 

[S-B]

This is too funny. Look at the top of the thread, click thread tools and click the checkbox that says open (already has a check there). That'll close the thread.

Shane, we can't close threads that involve general discussion, or news.

Only appraisal/ sales/ requests threads can be closed.

lol why exactly do you think that? I have no interest in closing this thread.

'Checkout the big brain on Brad" .... i gave him a like ,,, he's having a bad day

 

[Archangel]

As a former mod: you CAN close a thread, so long as you are the thread starter. @Eric_Lyon If he requests it, you should close this up from further posting

 

[artstar]

life is too short to deal with such things, move on and use as a learning experience for all, the domain owner has the domain sold, BR is aware of TOS issues. its over now

stay cool domainers we are all on this bus together!
:P

If you do end up pursuing legal action, this will be a great admission for the defense to use against you.

The terms are worded a little wrong and will be fixed.

And this too.

OMG - This thread is getting out of hand. How can i stop reading this?
