sales Why Are Companies Reluctant to Spend Money on a Good Domain?

I don't think it's really because of ignorance that much. It's because most businesses, especially those starting up don't want to spend $x,xxx-$xx,xxx on a domain name...they see that as a ridiculous waste...and for most businesses, it probably is. If you are running 'John's Pizza Shop' and...

question Follow-up to a "no thanks" email response?

Just to make sure I understand correctly...you are saying that YOU sent the 1st email out of the blue, correct? They then responded and said they were not interested in buying the domain, correct? At that point I think an email like this, saying 'that's unfortunate because I was willing to sell...

advice How much should I ask for this domain?

How on earth are we supposed to know if you don't tell us the domain name? Start a thread in the appraisal section with the domain name and people can give you actual advice.

advice How much should I ask for this domain?

So if you are telling me it's not possible to get an appraisal for a brandable word...then following that logic, there is no way we can come up with a price for it. Your logic is flawed, there are many different levels of brandable...how on earth do you expect someone to give you a price without...

Domain Age Important?

Yes and no. Domain age is only important to domainers...a typical end-user could care less about how old the domain is. But even for domainers, unless it is decently old 10-15+ years, most won't go out of their way to bid/buy it just because of age. So I would say the answer depends on who you...

Domaining as a hobby on resume?

I personally don't see the point in listing it for that type of position. Generally a resume should show skills and experience relevant to the job you are applying for. I don't think buying domain names and selling them on an auction site would really mean much in the eyes of HR at a bank. That...

information Finding Previous Owner Of Domain

I think anybody with ethics and morals could explain it to you. You essentially went out of your way to buy a domain they let drop...now you are going out of your way to try to look up their contact information so you can send them an email or give them a call and basically say: 'haha, I have...

information Finding Previous Owner Of Domain

Agreed! skyz21, don't act dumb, that makes the rest of us look bad. Leave the past owner alone and find someone else to sell it to.

Being Threanted by big company

I'm not a lawyer, but if this guy is just franchising and the corporate franchise tells him to knock it off, I would say he should listen. He probably has a lengthy contract that covers how he can use the franchise name and I would wager to guess, this type of use is not permitted. You...

question 'Dead' trademarks

I could be wrong, but I don't know if that's necessarily the case. A trademark can be 'dead' for a number of reasons, I believe even for something as simple as not renewing it. But just because the trademark is 'dead' as far as an 'official registration', doesn't mean the company isn't still...

Cyber Squatting is a Bogus Term! Domain Owners are Inventors!

Even with the trademark, if Amazon.com was available to register, you could register it and build a website about the Amazon rainforest. Amazon has a trademark, but they don't own the word...Amazon was a word in the dictionary long before Amazon.com came around. As far as your question, you...

Domaining as a hobby on resume?

No problem, I've considered in the past whether to add hobbies and whatnot to my resume, but always decided against it. In this case, I think there are 2 things to think about: 1. Does buying and selling 5 domains a year really stand out as an accomplishment on your resume that is relevant to...

lol Sounds like this is turning into a thread about not doing business with zandibot. He'll throw you under the bus if you have second thoughts! For some reason, I don't think zandibot saw the thread going this direction.

sales 12 Lessons Learned From Analyzing 375+ Sold Domain Names

As expected: "Websites with New TLDs Buying Name+NewTLD.com Example: Bi.tt bought Bitt.com. Seems the primary reason people buy these new TLDs is because the .coms are not available. As the site grows, it eventually acquires the name+the TLD.com."
