.co .CO - The Discussion, Showcase and Sales Report Thread

[TOXX]

Well, it seems like Colombia will be releasing .CO to the internet market:

...
This could truly be a big competitor to .COM (especially being a "typo").
I would say with proper guidance .CO could REALLY have a bright future!
...
Let me know your thoughts please.

If they wanted it, they could handregister it just like you did.

You don't acquire skills without intelligence. Business acumen is part of intelligence.

It's true that you don't need intelligence to be born in a rich family or win a lottery ticket. But if you want to make money you need some 'thing' that not everyone has.

hmm yeah but the thing is.. you can just keep mindlessly doing something that generates money. spend enough time doing anything and you'll likely figure out how to acquire these little green pieces of paper from it better than most people... that alone doesnt mean you're intelligent though. it could possibly mean you just stuck to one thing and inevitably got better at it. it has a lot to do with your motivation and enthusiasm for a certain thing too.. some peoples motivation is to acquire as much money as possible so other people think they're cool.. sign of above average intelligence? not necessarily..

just ask yourself does it work the other way around.. is having very little money a sign of below average intelligence? is the guy that worked on an assembly line in a factory his whole life not intelligent?

the correct answer to that is: not enough information to determine.

what if getting good at video games was equivalent to money? im not talking about competitions where you actually win real money.. just talking about guys that sit around playing Halo all day and have gotten REALLY good, better than most people.. we wouldnt say they are intelligent based on that information alone.

Intelligence is a measurement of problem solving ability. If a person wishes to acquire money (or anything else), where "more money" is the problem, having more intelligence will allow them to "solve" and arrive at a solution more effectively.

This is one reason highly evolved sentient beings from other universal realms can travel interdimensionally to Earth's fourth dimension.

I think you are confusing the issue. There are many intelligent people around but they don't use their intelligence to make money. They might be content people, have different ambitions, got some health issue or suffer from lethargy.

The question is if there is a correlation between money and intelligence? The answer is yes and it's self-evident.

nah, i'd still say there is not enough information to determine. you can make lots of money being stupid, just falling into the right situation happens a lot. not talking about being born into money either..

good example! If you happen to talk from time to time to both: millionaires and people working at an assembly line, you just cant avoid this conclusion: THE DIFFERENCE IN INTELLIGENCE OF THESE TWO GROUPS IS STRIKING!

in most situations.. so we can say that more often than not having lots of money is a sign of intelligence. but i wouldn't say its so often that its "the exception to the rule"... lots of smart blue collar people out there.

"in most situations" is simpler, but stronger than stating "there is correlation".

 

[mjnels]

"in most situations" is a simpler, but stronger than stating "there is correlation".

right, but 'there is correlation' is pretty definite. when i say in most situations i mean somewhere above 51%.. im not intelligent enough to know what the real number is, but probably not high enough to write everyone else off..

Nobody is talking about writing everyone else off...We just state, that there is an apparent correlation between the ability to make money and the intelligence.

the ability to make money or to save money? lots of people have managed to get high paying jobs but somehow they're still poor and their financial life is a disaster.

Wikipedia:

IQ and g (discussed in the next section) are correlated with many important social outcomes—individuals with low IQs are more likely to be divorced, have a child out of marriage, be incarcerated, and need long-term welfare support, while individuals with high IQs are associated with more years of education, higher status jobs and higher income.

A .CO auction at Sedo is scheduled for Nov 12th.

The list looks pretty marginal.

There are a few decent ones, but most of them are popular words with no real commercial value.

[JB Lions]

Yeah, list didn't look too good. Now, if you had these names, it would be a Premium .co auction - http://www.sedo.co/

They should think about doing that soon, before all these new extensions come out

Saw these other auctions:

DSB Bank Bankruptcy Auction PART I
DSB Bank Bankruptcy Auction PART II

wonder what that's going to be

Opinions please.

Got an offer today on Sedo (dang 15% commission) on MusicPlayer....in the dotco for $500, $425 after sedo fees. I would be ok at $1200 (around $1000 after sedo fees). What do you think?

 

[JB Lions]

First offer is usually the low ball offer, seeing if you would bite, so you should be able to get some more. I would counter at a little higher than you would be ok with. Of course there's always that possibility that they don't respond and that might be your best offer on the domain ever.

 

[MicroGuy]

In my experience, more than 50% of first offers are in fact the highest offer.

On this domain, I would say accept or counter and be prepared to wait a while for another buyer. And if you accept, odds are around 65% to 75% you will get paid. Your results will probably vary slightly. If you do counter, counter at your break even figure at minimum. Best of luck!

IF you dont think this name can easily sell for more in the near future, then i suggest the following- Counter offer in the $900-1100 range and don't drop below ~ $700. that way you dont sell the name too cheaply and you get a decent profit.In the end we are all here to sell names.push the name and get your dough.

i completely disagree with settling for 1st offer unless that 1st offer is in your expected offer range.domain business is the epitome of cheap! people are always trying to get great names for nothing.

IMO $500 is a solid and fair offer for this name in the .co extension.

If it was me, I would just counter at $575.

This is an easy way to negate the commission cost, and an easy explaination for the counter offer.

Take the money and run IMO.

It's not the time to gamble in the .co market.
