Eagles Soar and Confidence Pays:xf.grin: Just watched the Eagles win the Super Bowl, and went to my computer and reg'd the domain ConfidencePays.com. While it doesn't compare to WTFcup.com as far as potential, but it still works. Most of you are afraid to take a shot at my appraisal requests for fear of being shot down, confidence is why I keep asking...that, and I just luv the exposure.

As far as "What the Fuk Cup" or WTFcup.com is concerned, if you dont't get it, you need to look for another profession.Ever heard of the World Cup?, the Stanley Cup? or the Fedex Cup?...well now you've heard of the WTF.Cup:xf.wink:

ConfidencePays.com....care to take a shot at how much that might fetch? Why hadn't anyone ever reg'd confidenepays.com? Lack of confidence:xf.grin:

Hey it could be a thing, if you had an idea and wanted to grow it, it sounds like it could be a fun or crazy game.

Yet you "hate" it?.....LMAO NoBS...I also own BSHappens.com along with BullSh*tHappens.com. Want to take a shot at those nobs?...maybe it's time to put it to rest:xf.grin:

.cup is of those gtld's I never knew existed. That gtld might fold before wtf cup becomes an actual thing.

too funny NoBS...it appears you caught me in a typo, and one of your shameless buds creataweb liked your catch. You don't think I don't know who your are???

The domain I reg'd was, and is WTFCup.com, and as you and your ilk generally do, I'm sure you've already checked it out:xf.grin: Curious, is NamePro's aware of your tactics? I know they're aware of mine, but I want them to be.....stay tuned:smuggrin:

Oh ok, WTFcup.com.

Not sure who you think I am. I've been lurking around for a few months, I think I had an account here or another domain forum 10+ years ago where I posted a few times. But this is the only account I use, just created it today. Keen to HELP other domainers with my HONEST NO BS opinion. If I had a bad haircut I would expect a best friend to point it out not be all shy and shit. You have my opinion. Take it and like it.

Welcome @NoBS if you don't tell people what they want to hear in appraisals expect them to get upset. .

You said, "You have my opinion. Take it and like it"....LMAO yet again...you're the first member I had the pleasure of clicking "Dislike" for...did you feel it? I doubt it, but I'm tired of messing with the likes of you, so the next click for you is, IGNORE!

Ok Bulloney! You might be a cool guy in person and I find your wtf cup idea interesting. But you talk too much and your domain sucks.

Why hadn't anyone ever reg'd confidenepays.com?
20 million years of evolution weeded out any likely registrants. Good luck!

Why ask for appraisals if your only going to argue with people. You do it all the time. All you do is argue
Very not PRO, arent we supposed to be pro's here? Ignore me too bub, and I will return the courtesy

Hey "bub", I do it for the exposure:xf.grin:, and it appears I'm getting it. Not quite ready to put you on ignore yet, but getting real close...maybe you can beat me to the punch:xf.rolleyes:

Tells me you have zero imagination and creativity.

This is pretty much where you're going wrong as a "domainer" .. it's certainly not unique to you .. MANY domainers have done it to some degree when starting .. you're using your own imagination to twist and turn and find cool ideas .. and then find cool domains for those ideas/concepts. But that is your downfall .. you're buying domains based on the fact end users will see your domain and then follow through with your idea / concept.

But the fact of the matter is that that strategy is backwards .. you need to find good names for business ideas that other people are ALREADY thinking of and planning to start-up.

Otherwise you're a developer .. with completely worthless unwanted domains UNLESS they are developed. Which is not domaining .. it's development. So sure if you build a great little site for wtf.cup it could certainly be worth something because of the developed content .. but as a stand alone domain it has virtually zero chance of ever being wanted by someone unless you pitch them on DEVELOPMENT (and *NOT* on the actual domain). Could it sell? Of course there's a small chance .. but appraisals are based on the risk/reward/costs of the name alone .. and on those merits alone wtf.cup falls far below what most of us would consider a worthwhile risk/investment.


The others are correct in that wft.cup is a bad domain .. you need to remember that the appraisal section has nothing to do with your imagined potential development .. it has to do with the realistic chance of somebody with an EXISTING business idea of finding and wanting your domain(s) for their business idea that they have already developed .. AND .. willing to pay a multiple to account for more than the costs of maintaining all of the other domains in your portfolio that don't sell in a year.


All that being said .. "Confidence Pays" actually does work for EXISTING businesses .. namely in the self-help industry. It isn't an amazing domain .. but it's good .. and much much MUCH more importantly .. it actually is a domain somebody might consider buying.


All these other "concepts" you have are cool .. and imaginative .. but you're putting the horse before the cart. Everyone will tell you it's a great idea or concept .. but when it comes time to investing or committing real time/energy you'll see most of these things never result in anything.

Particularly if you've never developed a website before, you lack the ability to truly gauge the time, resources, energy, and costs involved. All these combined effectively hold thousands of times more value than just the cost of the domain.

Based on your reactions you want us all to evaluate the value of your concept domains as if they were already completed projects .. so in your mind you want us to say that:

Your Domain(s) + Massive Energy = A valuable domain.
But the reality is that it is wrong to include all that development time/energy/cost when just evaluating the domain.

I'm not saying to stop dreaming and coming up with these huge multi-domain concepts .. but just realise that what you are talking about is not domaining .. and as such the honest truth is that more often than not people are going to tell you the domains are worthless .. because they are as domains alone. Whether they are worthwhile businesses is a completely different question .. but not one that should be reflected in a "domain" appraisal unless there is a very strong chance someone else will come up with the concept INDEPENDENTLY and come searching for your domain.

So many people you will contact for your ideas will tell you it's a good idea and bla bla bla .. but more often than not they are just being nice .. and have no real intention of following through with actual investment (or they might not even understand what is involved/required).

Again .. many of us pass through the same phase .. many many years ago long before I was a domainer I bought over a dozen similar domains with the same prefix _Music.com, _Money.com, _TV.com, etc etc .. *BUT* I actually had a big site/community running on the music one and actually DID develop a couple of the others enough to justify buying them.

I strongly suggest you actually develop at least one domain based on your own "concepts" before going off and registering any more. For all I know you could indeed do great with it .. and then continue to acquire more and grow .. but again .. that is not domaining.

In terms of just domaining you're on the right track with Confidence Pays .. it's one of the better domains in this section .. which admittedly isn't saying much .. lol .. but it's a good buy at handreg .. and I would certainly pay $8 a year holding it .. the risk:reward is there for that domain.

Confidencepays.com ------ not sure any reseller would pick it, unlimited potential for end user especially the eccentric football fan type profile. If Sam Bradford can make 78 million $$ then anything is possible.

WTFcup.com ----- Not a great pick because of the "W". There are myriad world cups all over the world Soccer, Cricket etc.

Ateguy....it's NOT wtf.cup. To my knowledge, the .cup extension doesn't even exist? It's WTFCup.com.
Are you even aware of the acronym WTF?! If you're not, I'd suggest you go to wtf.com to find out. Moving on, are you aware in what context I'm referring to "Cup".....ever heard of the Davis Cup in tennis, the Stanley Cup in hockey, or the Fedex Cup in golf? Now this will be a test of your imagination, but when you combine WTF with Cup, what do you hear? I've already been advised I should trademark it. Ever hear of SNL? This will stretch your imagination even further, but can you imagine SNL awarding the WTFCup to a new politician or celebrity every week?

Ateguy...I just luv it when members like you and Kate ASSUME something/anything, and then rail for 14 paragraphs why you're so much smarter than me simply because of your experience:xf.wink:

Finally, if you're one of the best this industry has to offer....it's sad:xf.frown: Regardless, where sadness exists, I see OPPORTUNITY!

Thanks.
I have fallen into that trap with many of my domains and seeing it said this way helps to paint a far clearer picture for me. I definitely have some I got intending on developing but it has become apparent I have many more where that was not my intent and have seen after a few months they are not the best names to try and sell just on the merits of the name.
@NoBS, welcome to namepros. I look forward to seeing more of what you have to say in other threads.

You can have a million people view a white hairy dog turd, still no-one will buy it... There is such a thing as bad publicity and the only time any one or corporate entity states otherwise is when their tail is between their legs...
