discuss Do you ever feel bad about being a domain squatter?

The problem is that domainers don't abide by market forces. A buyer may be asked to not only beat all other bidders (which would ordinarily be sufficient), but to do so by a wide margin. Domain sellers have a very rare ability to get away with this sort of thing. If buyer has already named his...

Dropping YouTube typos

but these domains were registered in october of last year, and it appears that Chesterton has requested that they be deleted early.

Dropping YouTube typos

what is going on with these? looks like chesterton holdings had them registered until October but decided to delete them. Doesn't this suggest that youtube threatened legal action over the names, and whoever registers them next is likely to quickly lose them?

.eu Sunrise rejected registration slitch at July 4th

now i think about it, this really sucks and has cost me a lot of money. I had great lists of names lined up but thanks to eurid's bungle now everybody knows all the names that are expiring. names I could have got with 200 euro bids I now have bid 1000 euro and it's hardly worth it. even if...

Two 6-Figure Sales Lead New DNJournal.com Top 20 List

My words were careless, the main point is that the seller can ask what he likes, but I believe cannot effectively justify a price far in excess of what it would cost to replace the domain with one of similar quality. Luckily for sellers, most buyers do not ask them to justify prices.

Two 6-Figure Sales Lead New DNJournal.com Top 20 List

Maybe I should have left out the word overpriced, but in most markets what one person will pay for an item can be very different from its fair price. The cost of replacing a domain with one of a similar quality must be at least some sort of guide as to its fair price. The domainer is allowed...

Two 6-Figure Sales Lead New DNJournal.com Top 20 List

Overpriced. The buyer should have caught a couple of 3 letter .eu domains in the drops for a total of euro 1k or so, then offered a swap for the single ufu.eu domain (whose letters are not particularly prime). or maybe offer a swap for a single 3 letter domain with better letters + 500 euro. no...

.eu Landrush 2

It appears that Ovidio are the company behind the 400 (maybe more if some are not listed) New York registrars. In a way, anyone who got names in landrush 1 can count themselves lucky. It's now clear that Ovidio also planned to destroy the opposition on that occasion, but must have suffered a...

After Landrush2 comes Landrush3

It may indeed be much harder to get good names in follow up landrushes. The americans got a big chunk of the good domains with just 90 registrars in landrush 1. They have an additional 400 New York registrars they can bring to bear on landrush 2.

The .eu scam. How US companies stole our very own TLD

I did not say everyone, I said many. Given that the americans may actually have registered nearer to 100,000 domains, just 5% of those is obviously 5000 disappointed europeans. Just stating a probable fact here, whether you find it funny is up to you. The americans were extremely thorough...

.EU is already a complete Failure

But some of the europeans who missed out would have been end-users. The big US speculator who was behind the shell companies worldonlineendeavours.com, lexiconmedialtd.com, lehighbasin.com etc., and who controlled 90 registrars, registered up to 50,000 names and many of those would otherwise...

.EU is already a complete Failure

Only 999, lol. If someone else owned those domains, they wouldn't pay 199 for them. And they seem to be implying that 50 domains have already been sold. That is very doubtful.

The .eu scam. How US companies stole our very own TLD

No scam, but it didn't have to operate that way on this occasion. Eurid could easily have disallowed collaboration between 100's of registrars. Many of the 30,000 plus names taken by the americans would otherwise gone to europeans who would have enjoyed developing sites on them. Now their only...

The .eu scam. How US companies stole our very own TLD

There's a lot of talk about these 400 registrars, but I'm not so sure they got involved in the landrush. Can anyone tell me a single domain registered by one of those 400 New York registrars? Although the 400 New Yorkers were probably not involved, it appears that nevertheless Americans /...

Did you notice .EU

this last minute annihilation of the remaining half-decent domains could take the total number of domains awarded to fake trademarks to over 20,000.

What does "R" behind a name imply?

No, the cheats were not clever. The .eu sunrise rules were so inadequate that any idiot who took a bit of time to read them could have figured out how to steal the best names.
