question Did LGBTE.com just sell for $12? Seriously? Or Renewed?

[WhoaDomain.com]

Hello again NP,
I've been following the domain LGBTE.com over at Godaddy expired auctions. @ the auction (found it by accident really) showed it had no bids and had 5 days left. I didn't bid because I did not want to start it up. wanted to wait till closer to thee end. Was surprised though that no one bid on it. Figured everyone was just "waiting" last minute to bid to get the best price. and yesterday? I checked? It was no longer available for bid?

Was it taken? Was it renewed by the original owner? I can't tell. Can someone figure it out with their skills?

why was I tracking LGBTE.com? well I saw the sale of LGBTQ.com for $37K plus check each letter in the alphabet? and add it to the end of LGBT? and they are all taken for many years.

I like LGBTE.com for E being anything like Entertainment,Exotic (and replace X with R and make a new word),

How come this domain had at least 2 to 4 days left and now it's no longer available? check screenshot.

if you click that BUY NOW button on Domaintools it will take you to afternic and your shopping cart is empty. doesn't seem to have expired. but seems like the domain might have been renewed in 12/06/16 to have an expiration date of 12/06/2017 does that mean it was renewed? despite the fact that it was in the expireds auction of godaddy and last time I checked it had 5 days to go before the auction ended?

what's going on here?

Because after Kinsey report, bisexual behaviour is on the rise. If I remember correctly the relationships in modern world are becoming so complex that our emotions and behaviour diverse us so much from the animals.
Its just a theory though. My father was all the time saying to me, when the majority of people are gay in some few 100s of years, you could have a minority of straights who would care about reproduction. I know many straight guys who wouldnt complain about it.

No complexity here

However yes the modern world is becoming so complex that... idk

Sorry...what would you do with this name? Does it have some meaning..I haven't researched it so not sure..looks like a random lllll.com to me?

Please see the .lgbt extension

I own LGBT dotORG, the highest offer was $75,000
This community has some deep pocket buyer

Nice offer, not enough?

Not enough yet, I could be wrong though

The .org is the right extension for this one, but they now have a .lgbt gtld extension

 

[gilescoley]

Please see the .lgbt extension

Have you checked how many sales there have been? It doesnt even appear on namebio as an extension?

This is LGBTE though, adding a letter to end is not gonna help this one

They can pull back auctions on GoDaddy?

Sorry but I have to call you out on this one, as it makes no sense and hard to believe:


Did you actually negotiated, or the 75k offer just came in and you never heard back from the "buyer"...
If that's the case I have six figure offers on multiple LLLL.com names.

If that's not the case then 75k would be the highest price LLLL.org domain ever SOLD. (non word that is) Date.org and Move.org are the top ones if my memory serves right.

So enlighten me please.

It actually came from a well-established LGBT organization, their initial offer was $10,000 and we negotiated back and forth but my asking range is much higher than their budget. I assume it's not a fake buyer.

And LGBT isn't a random LLLL.org. To some end user, it's far better than LGBT dotCOM

Of course, I heard they're funded by Rockefeller

In March 2015, I picked up lgbtq.org for $10 ( about $22 including renewal fee) as a GoDaddy closeout. Although the metrics on it looked good, I had only heard of lgbt, not lgbtq. I never heard anyone use it, and people with whom I discussed the purchase invariably always asked me what the 'q' stood for. Bottom line is that I didn't have much confidence in the domain. So, I sold it a month later for $1488 and was happy to be rid of it. These days, I'm feeling a little less happy about that sale.

In LGBTQ, the Q stands for queer, that's why it was worth something.

Q for questions ?

It has been a very trending topic, and was mentioned quite a bit during the elections.

So I guess that is why some people are more drawn to the popularity of the term, for whatever reasons every ending letter is taken, although some are taken by Chinese investors in the randomness of chip reservations.

Q for questions ?

I researched it before buying and came up with "questioning". What I meant is that I'd never heard anyone actually use it so I thought it must be an obscure abbreviation that only 5 or 6 people knew about.

hmmm .org for that niche? is perfect.

I can see some non profit using that domain in the future. in fact it might actually fetch close to or same as the .com sold for but to enduser not resellers.

great profit by the way. by the way. was the sales via outbounds or auction?

geez why can't I find one like this.

I really need to pay attention next time to .org especially if I want to target non-profits or associations or orgs.

totally not on my radar.

will be now.

.org are so over looked.

LGBT.com can be any mainstream site multi use but LGBT.org is perfect for non-profit. makes sense to have .org.

Have to add that in some countries in EU use the GLBT order instead of LGBT, although most of the organizations prefer LGBT nowdays. Q was added later, because of all the new sexual identities that came up in the modern post 1970 world and for the Straight people who fight for Gay rights.

yup that's what I've seen. although this E is no good since it's a vowel.

Its true it stands a bit out, but we are not talking about 5L chips here

5L chips is game over for the most part, those spec registrations are dropping as we speak.

son of a b*tch!

LGBTE.com DID sell for $12 I think? check this link on hoster stats.

http://www.hosterstats.com/historicaldns.php?domain=lgbte.com

arrrgghhh!!!!!!!!

seems it was transfer over in 1-2017.

I guess many domains on Godaddy fly under the radar.

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

but thanks to this thread I dug deeper and found out that LGBTE could stand for LGBT Entrepreneurs.

It's a growing niche.

https://www.google.com/#q=lgbt+venture+capital

so ended up getting a 6L.com

LGBTVC.com LGBT Venture Capital.
VCLGBT.com Venture Capital LGBT

for $1.63 each.

LGBTV would be better here probably but then it would just be LGBT Venture not Venture Capital.

if Venture Capitalists want to get into "bed" with LGBT then the shorter (the domain) the better. in most cases LGBT prefers longer (domains) but in this situation Shorter is better.

and for good measure got.

EntrepreneurLGBT.com
FundLGBT.com
VentureLGBT.com

the reverse was all taken. maybe for good reason?
