domains Most of Us Missed The Boat… Again

There were few threads in 2007 or so where people asked if anybody had every lost money on domains. Lots of people chimed in with answers like "don't be silly", or why would you ask a stupid question like that. In hindsight, you can see that it was an indication of a market top. But whenever...

strategy Never set a BIN price for your domain names

More bad advice. I don't take anyone seriously who won't give me a price. Those who won't mention what they want for the name are basically losers looking to scam someone. One thing that I never do, and almost all scammers and losers do, is send a name to Sedo auction. There are actually people...

news Forbes Asks “Why, Even After A Year, There’s Still No Land Grab For New Internet Domains”

People are on to the scam. 99 percent of all UDRP's are for dotcoms (what does that tell you about what is valuable?). There is not need to get scammed by scumbag registrars and other pumpers who tout these scams. Business is smarter than people think. If someone uses one of these worthless...

domain UsedCar.world

They are all worth zero (I guess it is possible to find a sucker who doesn't know they are worthless). I feel bad for newbies like you who get victimized by registrars and other scam pumpers, including those who used to be the biggest legends in domaining. They don't care about you at all. If...

domains Most of Us Missed The Boat… Again

The main thing that creates value is if the name helps create commerce on a site. That generally means transactions where people spend money. That is why Hotels.com or Loans.com is so strong. The Chinese have a thing for numbers, so you will see Chinese language sites with numbers, and they want...

If you got caught.

Anyone getting scammed in that way should NEVER pay. Those names should not be allowed to be listed. It is fraudulent misrepresentation. Also, in real world business, mistakes of this type are grounds for voiding the transaction. Finally, even if Sedo or the seller could claim breach of...

domain Please appraise INVESTMENT EASE dot COM

I wouldn't register the name if it was available. Most garbage names get spam/fake offers from people. If you are that out of touch with your life/reality that you are buying domains, and cannot make simple decisions on how to respond to people who are "allegedly" asking about your name(s), then...

domain youwineasy.com and nightlifeinibiza.com

Not worth anything. However, if you stop registering names for 6 months and all you do is read, then you will be in great shape going forward. Everyone makes the same mistakes when they start out. The names I first registered were ten times worse than this, and I spent a few thousand dollars...

sales Sneaky End Users

It doesn't matter. If people play the lottery, a few people will "succeed" even though their actions are not worthy of the good fortune that comes after they get lucky. Domainers don't even know simple math. If I have a name that can fetch zero on the forums, but has a one in a thousand chance...

sales Sneaky End Users

The seller got extremely lucky. The name is not worth near that amount without getting outrageously lucky. 99 percent of all domainers have no clue about what their domains are worth in a real world transaction. That is why forums fell off the map. Nobody is willing to offer anything of value...

news PlentyofFish.com sold??

How can someone who has been a member since 2006 not know the difference between a business and a domain name? It is hard to believe.

domain Booty.org

Decent name. You could get lucky and sell it for a few thousand. If you put it in front of a bunch of domainers who know what they are doing you wouldn't get that much, but it is a decent name. What is stunning is how many people mention Estibot. It just makes people look like morons and...

sales Marchex sells portfolio of 200K+ domains to GoDaddy for $28.1m

Marchex stock was over $25 in 2006. It is now under $5. All of this so-called money that they made on the portfolio went to management. Shareholders got creamed. They are scammers and borderline criminals, but this is typical of people who are in business using other people's money. The name of...

sales Marchex sells portfolio of 200K+ domains to GoDaddy for $28.1m

People who believe that the desktop PC is going away are nuts. Once these companies who advertise on mobile realize that they aren't getting a bang for their buck, mobile advertising will slow down, crash, then build up again from a lower starting point. Companies are looking to mobile because...

news Shoes.com to Caleres.com: Brown Shoe Co rebrands to a hand-reg domain

I'm pretty sure they are keeping the Shoes.com domain name. If they decide to give up that advantage for any price at all, this will definitely go down as one of the dumbest business decisions of all time. It is fine to rebrand, but if they in any way give up any percentage at all of those...

domain Please appraise kitchenproducts.org

Definitely worth zero. These names are worth less than zero because you are now using up your time thinking about them, asking questions about them, etc. This is not the type of insight that gets you the prize in life, that is for sure. The white noise you included in your post is the sign that...

news PlentyofFish.com sold??

It is a business story, not a domaining story. That is why PlentyOfFish.com forwards to POF.com. If it were a domaining story, the name would be based on PlentyOfFish.com. The name Plenty of Fish adds absolutely zero value to the business, and that is why they use POF. This is the final free...

news PlentyofFish.com sold??

You don't know what you are talking about. This sale of a business has nothing to do with domain names. No more so than if Match.com is sold or launches an IPO. You started this thread because you thought that the sale has something to do with a domain name. It doesn't. Other posters may have a...
