Hi everybody. If you registered domains at Domain.com and/or one of its sister companies (NetFirms, Dotster and MyDomain) or bought a domain that was registered in one of these registrars and was pushed to you- you need to read this.
1. Pushes between accounts don't change owner details. So if...
Recently I bought at Godaddy three domains that are/were also registered at Godaddy: GoSystems dot com, GoToys dot com and GoEducation dot com. A few days ago I got an email from attorney David E Weslow (who's a well respected attorney in the industry, to my understanding) about an intent to...
Just got the funds for C/O/S/U/I/T/E.com. Bought a few months ago for $20. Sold at Afternic for a little over $1600 a few days ago. Got $1284. Fifth end user sale in the last two months. Lovin' this summer so far!
@GoDaddy Look at the numbers @bmugford provided and explain how this "boost" is good for anybody other than Godaddy and why should people take the risk of making less money? It's clear that your platform is the one who profits from this new program across the board, while for sellers the effect...
@Sperry8 I think that's exactly the problem. The afternic inventory isn't easily findable on Godaddy. At least not in a straightforward way.
Head over to Godaddy.com and imagine that you're a buyer who wants a domain that starts with the word 'love' accompanied by an unknown second word...
Slow clap. Congrats on being better than all of us domainers who haven't ascended to the God level developers ascend to. We all appreciate that you keep posting about it repeatedly with name-dropping, yacht-dropping and whatever other droppings you perceive as proof that you're superior. That's...
@boker Thanks. Like everybody else- I've been using promos so it was easy buying a lot of domains for cheap, especially last year and at the beginning of 2017. Renewing, however, is a different matter and I'm quite picky even though I'd love to keep more. It just eats into profits too much. In...
@alcy Maintained cost low $XXXX. eDiscover was one of my stupidest purchases in domaining. Overpaid for it when I thought I had things figured out. Still managed to make about 2K on it. And DayOfAtonement cost $100.
Today I discovered that a bunch of my Afternic landers aren't resolving. Everything is set up correctly, but visitors get to the "This domain is registered, but may still be available" page instead of the custom lander. My rep refreshed a couple of the domains on his end and that solved the...

WebTokens [.] com
MakeupOnline [.] com (previously sold for $10,000)
