alert Epik Had A Major Breach

In my opinion everyone here is overreacting to this situation. Hackers have different motives for doing what they do. Some are motivated by financial gains and some are motivated by ideology and politics. And some just want to monitor certain companies and organizations and never reveal that...

question XYZ sales, really???

There also has to be some consequences for members who have used inappropriate, demeaning, and insulting language here out of pure malice. No one deserves to be treated like this based on some unsubstantiated assumptions of wrongdoing. IMO

domains “Everyone is sitting on valuable domains, they just need the right timing for a big payday”(???)

Don't forget about all the new customers that domainers bring for Registrars by selling domains to end users who will end up using the Registrars' other services. IMO

information Brent Oxley Loses Access to Create.com, Plus Millions of Dollars Worth of His Domains

It seems that there are four different issues here that are all mixed up together, which in my opinion need to be addressed separately: 1- Can a domain name be locked upon notice of legal action being started against a Registrant or should locking the domain require an actual court order. 2-...

All Registrars show you the honey while they are small and are trying to attract more customers, the problem arises later on when they feel that they don't have to care about you as a customer anymore. We need to come up with a solution for the whole Industry so that no matter where our domains...

registries Breaking: Verisign announces .com price hike to $8.39

Not all domains in the portfolio are going to be sold. On a portfolio of 300000 domains with a 1% yearly sale through rate that means that 3000 domains are going to be sold per year. If the average sale price for the domains sold is $3000 then you need to add around 1.82% to the price of each...

strategy Too Many Or Too Few Choices?

@Bob Hawkes, Thanks for a very thorough analysis, It might be important to also consider what Caliber and Category the domains fall under. If you have a high Caliber domain that relates to a popular category that attracts corporate end users then you might be better off to go with "Make Offer"...

Rick asked for $2.5k domains - Seller almost backed out

This could be looked at as the Big Fish preying on the Little Fish, Or It could be looked at as the Big Fish helping the Little Fish get some working capital which they wouldn't have been able to get otherwise. But either way, if the Little Fish voluntary goes into the mouth of the Big Fish...
