Isn't this the same domain for-sale at namescon, no reserve?

Thanks for reaching out! I believe Namescon doesn't start until the 22nd and to my knowledge, I still have the rights for sale via the owner.

Please let me know if interested, I appreciate the heads up on the namescon auction though!

Ok, your the guy who got this one on flippa, lol

This is the wrong venue, start cold calling actual Travel Agencies, and services like that.

This one was acquired off the reserve list for $650 I believe in 2015, then flipped for $10K. It has an annual renewal of about $500, which is not good for a domainer, but manageable for an end user.

This one was well advertised, and documented here, surprised it is back for sale here, that is not a good sign.

Please post renewal price and renewal date.

Renewal price is $499,

• Next Renewal Period starts on 6/18/2018

I'm working with the owner who purchased it on Flippa, he is looking to free up funds for other projects at the moment. Thanks for your input!

This one just sold at nameson auction for $3k ouch

They didn't have a choice, they wouldn't have given them auction venue with a reserve, a gamble gone wrong.

Horrible call to even purchase it at 10k with $500 renewals without a plan (which is now apparent).

Very true. Too much risk at play, if I was in the same shoes, I'd have just not listed it, renewed for as long as possible got out my phone book and started dialing. A name like that, you could quote five figures to travel agencies TODAY and may even get offers if your diligent...no ones going to be going all out to find you but if you do the dirty work its a name that could garner a very nice return. The buyer who bought it....got a massive steal must have consulted Ricky Henderson.

The people in the room, do not like premiums, they placed a disclaimer showing $500 annual renewal, that killed the sale for sure. It had to be disclosed because it was such a large number.

The .com has sat parked for decades.

There was a huge thread when this was being sold for it's eventual $10K sale, it would be fun to go back, and see how that played out now.

There was many people saying this was a 6 figure domain.

He was trying a few weeks before the auction, he had an ad up here at namepros looking for $10K.

Yup, renewals are an absolute deal killer on ngtlds and thats the problem with this name, even at $3k, which is a steal, You need to sell the name within 6 years before you go into the red, where as if this were in .com, you could stick 10 years on that and barely shell out $100. Not only is the resale market for new g's not developed yet, the registrars have yet to learn their lesson. You can't have your cake and eat it....that is exactly what is being reflected by the clear lack of interest in ngtlds at Namescon....its just not good business.

Yea, I totally agree.

It was a pumped thread here, gained lots of exposure good and bad. Never would have reached 10K without the thread...
