domain $1.26 for 46 good domains?

[markts]

I have tried my hand at politics in the past months and had terrible results. Listed them just about everywhere and no bites at any price. What is the problem with political domains? Sedo staill has not sold kerryedwards.com and they won't. I think there is an overall lack of excitment in politics this year. Some of my domains are dated (2004) but others I find great. We decided to stick all 46 on eBay with no minimum and no reserve and now have a whopping bid of 1.26. Why can these domains not sell at better prices? We all know there is money in politics. The domains are good, here is the list:

I would just accept the bids - dispose of these domains.

Thoes names should have picked-up some $ if thoes were auctioned a year before the election. I guess it's too late to use thoes for development as publicity and indexing takes time. IMO... political domains are "speculator/s" gambling.

Now you've just realise how the domain name game works... some ups and downs...

I've used to reg and sold Alexadra Kerry domains before... hoping that I'll pickup some little profit... i've sold each on all major ext at low-mid$xxx after realising that the Cannes issue is over. Not bad after profiting some $10-20/each...

Better forget thoes names and just think that you've lost a gamble... As I've said... it's too late, the election is nearing and after that, thoes domains are wothless.

Good luck with your auction

I hope that he wouldn't have had tons of domains called Kerry-Edwards a year ago :p

I’m no psychic - just dumb - and not into politics

You are right, I’m no psychic – who had an idea Kerry would be there let alone pick Edwards. I thought I was doing good to register minutes after the Edwards announcement. Planned that at least one would sell.

Hurray, The bidding for 46 domains is up to a whopping $15.50 - three days left

A year ago I thought it would be dean (or was that also less then a year ago) who would be the democratic canidate.

nice info

I read, I learn. I had the idea of regestering each possible canidate the next presidental election figuring the winner would cover the cost of the loosers. I've now changed my mind. Thanks for this thread. :kickass:

Agreed take whatever the end bid price is. The election is only 60 days away. Too short to do anything with them of note. Even $15 is more you're going to get when they expire. Stay away from "current event" domains in the future.

Hang in there - many Ebay bidders wait til the last minutes of the auction before they show any interest.

I would think that with:

TheRepublicanParty.US
TheDemocraticParty.US
RepublicanElephants.com
DemocraticDonkeys.com

in the mix, you'll end up with more bids.

Trust in Ebay :lol:
