Hello everyone,
Listen how stupid I am... I am hard up for cash and as my luck would have it when things go wrong they really go wrong! Last year I got sucked into a scam where a guy name John Martin saw these domains parked at sedo and emailed me saying he would buy them for $1995 if I got them appraised by... yep you guessed it one of the two appraisers he listed (meaning he was part of the appraisal company drumming up sales)... hoping to get good appraisals I told the appraisers if I like the appraisals I had lots more I wanted to get appraised... (ok a little lie on my part but I guess an honest appraiser should not be swayed... right?) gee what do you know... good domains turned out to be GREAT domains... ya right!!!... STUPID STUPID ME!!! Anyway after getting them appraise as you see bellow he says sorry prices to high but what I will do with you permission is try and sell these domains using your appraisals and split the difference. I was really pissed off because I did not have the money to invest in these appraisals but did so out of desperation and taking him by his word that he would buy them for $1995. Anyway I posted this scam on a board he was a member of and then he proceeded to smear my company name with visa card fraud and porn scandals! What a loser!!! I guess this stuff happens a lot but I am not in the domain business so I was an easy sucker!
Anyway, interestingly enough fastdomainsales.com the company I got them appraised at is no longer in business... DUH!

I don't know about domain business but I assume these are only hot domains for those in business with Bali somehow... me for example am planning to use the balireview.com domain for a resort and hotel tourism site the balidragon.com was to be a bali products ecommerce site and the balifriends.net a friendster type site. I will still try and do these things but I have other projects on the go and I could really use the money right now so if by some freak chance anyone is interested in these domains please let me know how we can go about coming up with a fair price.
Cheers.
