Anyone heard of this site/bought the domain list?

~first post Hello!

Just wondering if anyone has come across or used this site: randomdotcom.com (is linking allowed here?)

It's a fun little app, even if not hugely useful. On the footer, it says you can purchase the list of remaining .com names but does not have a small price. I'm considering asking for it out of curiosity. Any opinions on how much you think it's fair price?

Depends on how many domains are in the list, all .coms, and how useful they are.
Most of the domains shown are not registered for a reason.

Somebody posted it somewhere here a while back...

There used to be a little site years ago, as in 5-7 years (maybe it's still live) that listed deleted / available domains and let you filter for dictionary words, peoples' names, extension, etc. If you watched that list for the most part you'd see the same names get picked up and dropped. Over and over again.

When I looked at that new site I recognized many of those domains from the old list.

"Depends on how many domains are in the list, all .coms, and how useful they are."
The blurb at the top says there are around 1400 for .coms.
I've emailed them for prices. If anyone is interested then I could let you know when I hear back.

Considering they are asking $0.99 for each one (and thus far none of them that I've seen look very good) I couldn't see it being very much. According to their site, 1.4k are still available (Not sure how they would come up with that number since news ones are getting registered and dropping each day)... I would say the list surely isn't worth $1400...Not even a quarter of that. The list probably isn't worth more than $10

the 99 cents is to register the domains using their affiliate links.

Yes indeed, 99c for registration. I contacted them, by the way. They are asking for 30USD for .com list. Reasonable, I guess - it's actually lower than i thought.
