discuss $1billion for the set of domains

[SirDrago]

While searching the interweb this morning sipping on my hot cup of jesus juice (Coffee) I came across this out of the ordinary offer.


This is the cut and paste...

"Quote"

Retiring www,ShoppingGirl,com and www,DecomprasChic,com are for sale

for """""$1Billion for the set of domain names only."""""
Covering both the English and Spanish markets!


So I know we ALL believe that our Domains are worth "Millions" but what on earth can explain this asking price????
Your thoughts please?

Following the same theme... A well-known app developer Marco Arment was developing a new podcast app and was trying to buy overcast.com:

"I couldn’t get the .com — its squatter wants $100,000,000 for it. That’s right,a hundred million dollars. I tried to get him to come down a bit, and he said he’d take $95 million. I offered him $1,000, which quickly ended negotiations."

Whole story: Naming Overcast

Well I have to say 1k is in fact a low ball offer but the sellers price is outrageous.

A little too expensive. If only $100 less, I would probably have bought it.

Way overpriced imo. These are only worth $150,000,000 maybe $200,000,000.

Hello,

Either:

1. Publicity stunt, just to drive attention
2. On magic mushrooms
3. Naive

Craigslist!? Oh noes! You know that when you go to meet them with the $1B in cash they will whack you over the head with a tire iron!

The seller must be hoping that Google changes the name of their holding company to Shopping Girl. :D

Just a pathetic attempt to drive business to there website. Only in achieving the destruction of their credibility. A shame really when you think about it.
