.com Bulloney Name Sale.....2K or 3.5M?

[ThatNameGuy]

The name AcSel that Bulloney created in 1983 for a medical billing company he started in 1977 is still trading today using the domain AcSel(.)org. The original name for the company was "Accounts Receivable Management Corporation" and Bulloney now t/a ThatNameGuy™ paid $2,000 to the ad agency that was hired to come up with a new name for the company

Fast forward to 2016 and Acsel(.)org was sold for 3.5M. The only question is whether the name Acsel like LasVegas(.)com that sold for 90M, is a 2K name or a 3.5M name?

For those critics who have a hard time believing, I'd recommend you visit AcSel(.)org then check out Bulloney's Linkedin bio to see when, and by who the name AcSel was created.

For more details or clarification, feel free to send a PM or see ThatNameGuy™ in nCredible Vegas the end of this month.

Acsel.org is a $0 name. I honestly wouldn't waste my time claiming it if someone was giving it away for free in the free domains section.

Even Acsel.com isn't a very good domain and would have a very difficult time finding a buyer at $2k. Admittedly I would take the .com for free though ... the .com would even likely get my attention if passing through expiration auctions .. but I most certainly would not have bought it at auction .. and not even at $5 closeout .. although I definitely wouldn't say the .com would be a bad closeout purchase.

The problem with the name is that it colossally fails the radio test. Also, most people will think it's either Sell or Cell way before Sel .. then before ever thinking Acsel they would even think Excel or Accel (for Acceleration).

Sounds like a bunch of Bulloney....

selling a full blown business is VERY MUCH different than selling a fully running/monetize website which is VERY MUCH different than selling a domain name itself. Be careful and dont get confused about what makes for the total package sale. it's not apples to apples or even apples to elephants.

Are you seriously trying to compare LasVegas.com to Acsel.org?

Any number would have to do with the underlying business, or it's accounts. Given this company dates back to 1977, and 1983, and you are bragging about acquiring acsel.org you are essentially doing yourself a misdeed if you want a pat on the back. You could have had any generic name back then regardless of brand, and you went with this .org?

Definitely in the same ballpark! LasVegas is the name of the ballpark, Acsel is printed on a broken urinal in the ballpark basement. good grief.

First...I never said it was a great name, and I still don't believe it is. There are ALWAYS better names, and the name I posted on the reg of the day today ZonaDaily™ is a perfect example. Remember I'm a business guy first, a marketing guy second and a domainer a distant third. I always knew I was a pretty good "name" guy, and the more I hang around this industry the more know it

I did come up with the name Acsel in place of "Accounts Receivable Management Corporation", and my partner and I paid the ad agency $2,000 for it in 1983...duh! Since then I started other companies like Contact USA, InQuisitor, and more recently Domain Gourmet. I'm sure those are all crappy names to you, but I know better

It went over your head too...I didn't buy the domain AcSel (.)org, I just came up with the "name" in 1983, and I never said I thought it was a great name. Geeesh! And the point with LasVegas. com is that it was a full blown business just like AcSel still is...even today.

Your post is all over the place.

First off I can't get past the weirdness when somebody writes or talks in 3rd person...
"The name AcSel that Bulloney created"
Stop that.

Then I see you are letting us know you changed your UserName...
"and Bulloney now t/a ThatNameGuy™"

Good move. Bulloney is a horrible name when trying to do Business anywhere. It is a hybrid name of 2-words - Bull$hit and Baloney. Both completely negative and untrustworthy. My advice for any future posts here or anywhere, don't even mention that horrible past UserName, if you want to me taken seriously. "That Name Guy" is 100x better. Go with that.

So from this statement here...
"paid $2,000 to the ad agency that was hired to come up with a new name for the company"
I see you did not create the name but you paid someone else to create that name for 2k.
I think that was a waste of 2k. If you want to be "The Name Guy" you should have been able to come up with a hundred better names than that on your own back then.

I agree with others here. I wouldn't even spend the few minutes to have that transferred into my account if it was given to me for free. Honestly. I pass up 100 better closeouts everyday that are much better, and I drop better domains of my own than this - acsel/org

So to answer your question that is the title of your thread -
Bulloney Name Sale.....2K or 3.5M?
Seriously, neither. Not even $10/reg fee.

I am sorry if this sounds horribly negative but I see nothing positive here at all about this huge typo potential dot org domain, truthfully.

I will try to end on a positive note. I see 1 domain, I like a little bit in your signature. MakeSomethingHappen with your domain.

Regardless of your opinion, and everyone has one, Bulloney was created to be a fun name, but you obviously don't get it. That said, I must realize that everyone doesn't have a sense of humor. I use to refer to myself as an S.O.B. or, Son Of a Buckeye because my Dad graduated from Ohio State in 1939 (nickname Buckeyes), but I guess you don't get that either

Moving on...i probably wasn't clear enough in that I created the name AcSel, but we paid the ad agency $2,000 who we hired to help us come up with a new name. I never said it was a great name, however it was good enough that the company continued to grow and prosper and was sold for 3.5M just a few years ago.

Finally, thanks for the compliment for ThatNameGuy™ because I'm starting a blog by that name. The blog isn't meant for professional domainers like yourself, but rather the everyday guy/girl and "end user" who names everything from dogs, kids, nicknames, street names, boat names and yes, even domain names.

I registered the name MakeSomethingHappen(.)com September 1, 2001, and all I use it for is my personal email address.

No need to apologize for "sounding horribly negative"...remember I have a sense of humor, and I see a lot of humor in your comments Thanks

Congrats on cashing in by selling your company! But basically, correct me if I'm wrong, you sold your company trading under a crap brand, using a mediocre domain in the worst extension for a company? That's no domain sale. You could've claimed you sold the office paper press for 3.5M as well.

Actually I haven't owned the company for over 20 years, however I did start it and I did create it's name. As for the "extension", I didn't register that either, and I most likely wouldn't have. My point had a lot to do with the domain LasVegas .com selling for 90M, and it had little to do with the name, but everything to do with the business. At least I created the name AcSel, but Las Vegas has been around for a couple hundred years
At least you gave me credit for coming up with a "mediocre" name and not a crappy name. Thanks

Wait for it...he will.

is bulloney the name of yer dog?

Didn't take long for ThatNameGuy (Bulloney) to become Restricted ...

Oh dear, this kind of thinking will probably come to us all. You tie-in the event/s from years ago (usually personal) and then read in some 'imaginary' consequence applicable to todays events. or surroundings

There is that word for it.

 

[Internet.Domains]

Congrats @ThatNameGuy! Keep your head up and show yo stuff!

 

[NYJimbo]

Here we go again....

What exactly are you trying to do here ? You kinda (hired someone else ?) came up with a name 30 years ago and you want to take credit for the success of it 30 years later ?

Can you show proof it sold for $3.5 million ? Hosterstats shows no change since 2012. Am I missing something ?

I dont think he sold it for 3.5 million. His post is kinda confusing.

Didn't I say in my original post that if you want to know details just to send me a PM? I'm all about transparency, and Verisign is in my corner
