Well maybe not the kind of press that is only news in a miniscule industry made up of nerds. The only effect he will get from this is that he will be inundated with calls, emails and maybe even letters from desperate sellers trying to peddle pigeon shit domain names.

HaHa.... sorry... could not resist

One of my most favorite memes!!!

I seriously start doubting if there was any 150K sale.

Given the buyer and his love for PR stunts and the seller's desire to keep the flame on by provoking people, that could be part of arrangement. Something like "low xx,xxx + PR stunt".

Also the seller's story that the buyer wired advance payment because he had max budget and needed board's approval does not look like Milo, as I doubt he has this kind of corporate setting and limitations.

So Much HATRED for HATRED.com. One thing for certain, the domain is living upto its name. Congratulations on the sale. Its definitely a memorable one with lot of potential applications. I am sure the buyer will find the investment worth it.

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

I am aware of that but you also have right to release the info or not to. I know you did it to encourage others but as you can see, a lot of people are not happy about it.

yeah, as a celebrity, quite typical.

A 2016 Facebook post from Milo

Cal it "Flipped Well" instead of "Ripped Off". Come on we know for expert Domainers its the normal thing.

You can doubt it all you want - its been verified independently

I'm going to be honest - I wouldn't change a thing. I have had more positive than negative and when I have another big sale I will announce that too!

I used to disclose sales the first 15 years I was in this industry especially the big one's to help the industry, but about 5 years ago, decided NDA is the best way to go. Just makes life easier that way. The hate and jealousy is everywhere, so ignore it and keep doing what your doing. Congrats on your sale, well deserved!

I thought about that but to be honest - the negativity stopped bothering me. It just makes people look uneducated and jealous.

thats what hatred is all about

My take is that Milo is going to use it to show the "hatred" that is coming from "the left", not necessarily to just platform plug his own opinions. It would be a brilliant move, using a very powerful negative word to pummel his political opponents. The domain Hatred.com could bring in millions of dollars in free publicity for him, making the price of the domain seem very reasonable. BTW he has a new book coming out, Dangerous, to be released July 4th. He has mastered creating controversy to his own benefit, accepting massive vitriol for value, a concept not ever used by most PR professionals because of the potential of a powerful backlash.

I think the point is being missed here. Mr Murphy being a blogger/writer knows how controversial Milo is and how this would boost his ,KM, profile and cause a stir in the domain industry-which it did. Where was Mr Murphy's outrage over the purchase of dudu.com by an unknown CEO for $1million? This is all BS and nonsense.

What is so crazy, some of my neighbors think I am drug dealer, because I work at home, go to the beach mid day during the week, never shave, dressed in shorts, t-shirt, sometimes no shirt(we do that in San Diego).

The dads at my kids school, think I am unemployeed because I always volunteer, go on all the field trips, at all the after school events, etc. I used to tell them I started in the domain industry in 1997, and make a full time living doing that, none of them believe it, so I just tell them, yes I am a bum who smokes weed all day(lol) It took my mom about 5 years to realized I actually made a living in the domain industry(lol) My sisters didn't believe it, than when I made money they want to leach off me, and call me an asshole because they work in there shitty job and never took risk.

So basically, 99% of the population hates anybody becoming successful, so the 1% of us, we need to stick together. I guess Kevin Murphy is part of the 99% and not the 1%.

The the more haters you have the better your doing, so congrats on your great sale!
