sales Milo Yiannopoulos is ripped off to the tune of $138,000 in Hatred.com sale

Every one of us know this is how domain investing works. Domain Incite is stirring controversy for the same reason DSAD interviewed Richard.

I don't understand everything else that is going on around this, but from taking a domain that was marketed, and unsold, and to find out the right end user, and get them to pay for a 1 word .com, that is why we are all here. This guy hit the grand slam, this is what domaining is all about. Like I said taking everything else aside on the pure domain sale side of it, it's an amazing sale, and the seller made it all happen, otherwise it would still be sitting in their account.

Value is in the eyes of the beholder.

Some will see it, some won't, some will hate regardless.

I only hatred.com that I did not think of buying and then selling that domain first.

What an idiotic and ridiculous tweet from Kevin Murphy.

Apart from my opinion in support of @uglydork, everything I shared is posted publicly by other people and searchable. I gave a sourced summary of what happened because it was fragmented.

I didn't use @uglydork's name in the title, because it's not about him. I could have used Mr. Murphy's name in the title, but I chose to use Mr. Murphy's words in the title, because his words caught my eye on Twitter. Mr. Yiannopoulos is presumably elated whenever his name is in a title.

IMO, this is an important discourse to have. I was also questioning whether more people think of "expensive" or "overpriced" when they hear rip off, as Mr. Murphy tweeted. Contrarily, I haven't read any replies that corroborate his definition.

Great sale really - it ought to be spun as something emphasizing the value of domains for the industry. After all - we are buying/selling/trading ONE OF A KIND assets - not some stock, not fiat currency printed out of thin air, it's not much different than selling one of a kind physical real estate - except the upside is the whole world can come through your land/property.

The funny thing is - in this particular case, the end user will do just fine with this name. Because of his peculiar stance in the public eye there is a lot of potential for him to recoup the purchase price relatively soon.

In fact don't be surprised if the driveby fake news media like CNN starts using hatred.com to talk about Milo....He probably loves the idea of getting lost angry liberals to come click on things and add to his pot (I'm not liberal or conservative, ....registered Independent )

The name is perfect for him. Milo,his team and I talked at great length about this being a brand. All of this nonsense and all the nonsense on other message boards is only fueling his name and brand. hatred is probably worth more than he paid already. I would have never gotten this much out fo it if I would have developed it.

Pretty genius to link the perfect buyer for this name, Congrats!

Can't think of a more appropriate end user.

I smell jealousy.

Milo is a great guy btw.

I personally disagree with Milos content / narrative. (hence why I disliked the above posts) That said, this is why it's this perfect domain for him and his brand. A category defining buzz word that represents viral responses.

Did you or (Milo's people) ever mention the domain, Hate.com as a potential prospect?

Heck No! I was trying to sell mine

That is not a rip-off, that is a great sale! Now what is a rip-off is having having my wife steal my domain sale money to remodel our bathroom, she ripped me off

The term "rip off" is a shocker in this context and was no doubt the wrong term, the buyer is happy and has a great brand name (in certain music circles this name is gold I tells ya) A good sale for all involved !

Haven't read all comments, but @uglydork -- congrats, man. I believe (but don't 100% remember) that we crossed paths back when I was @FlippaDomains and we tried to market this at auction. It was a tough sell back then -- geared better towards an end user, but the big question was 'who'.

I'm with @Grilled ~ Milo's not my personal cup of tea. But he's a savvy marketer and this is smart for his future projects. My personal political views aside, this was a great sale. Congrats again.

I must be so out of the loop, I never even heard of Kevin Murphy nor have I heard of Milo? I don't read domaining.com, and I don't watch the news. Domaining is just not the same since I got to party with Ron Jeremy and the Playboy bunnies at the Playboy Mansion at DomainFest in 2009

I do like Nampros though, cool hangout with cool people!

[The seller, Mr. Dynas] offered the domain on my Twitter thread many times. We all passed. Then he went out and had a grand slam homerun. Kudos! Isn’t that the name of the business? Should be a lesson to folks.

Kevin Murphy has a very low regard for domainers. He covers our industry to make money. So if anybody is ripping anybody off…

He is driven by the jealousy and hatred of domainers. All you have to do is read his stories and his choice of adjectives. He is not a journalist imho

Yeah hatred.com is a very strong, controversial word. It's very memorable. Congrats on your sale.

Domain valuations are tough and there is an element of subjectivity to them. However, it's commonly agreed dictionary words are the most valuable.

I can't understand these "rip-off" comments, that is illogical given the subjectivity of domain valuations.

You know you have made it when your story has been translated into Chinese as news half way across the world! news.ename.cn/yumingjiaoyi_20170626_109337_1.html Hats off to you, @uglydork!

What a boat load of crap! Would he turned down that money if it were offered to him? Hypocrites everywhere. Who the hell does he think he is to determine what is rip off? Jealous dolt.

Do I blame them? The seller should have NEVER revealed anything about his sale and now the news might get to the buyer.

The buyer thrives on controversy..... any press is good press to him.

The buyer and I had an agreement to release the sale - you should have asked me first
