Crap costing thousands

[jamesosix]

Does anybody else laugh when they see some of the prices people are asking for domains? I'm no expert, but seen some right crap on offer lately for xxxx+ Domains, I wouldn't pay x for!

Is it just me who gets a chuckle out of seeing these?

 

[alcy]

imo its everyones decision and right to ask whatever they want for their names...and its everyones right to use the ignore list as they see fit

in this way everyone can be satisified

 

[jamesosix]

Dreamers. Let them dream on I say, since there's no real harm done.

Agreed, I just laugh at them and wondered if I am alone or not in that respect.

I personally think this is just a whiners thread. IMHO

Feel free not to contribute then ​

I think that ridiculous prices on domains listed publicly (i.e. outside NPs) do hurt the industry as a whole. I think occasionally an end user starts searching, comes across a few ridiculous prices, assume that most will be that order and simply gives up finding the best hand registration for their startup or business/organization. It would be tough, but the marketplaces could if they wanted to put the resources into it have an approval process for prices, sort of like some brand sites do.

I realize domain name pricing is not an exact science, and some find it a good strategy to start very high, but I think truly crazy pricing hurts us all.

Although, I see your points and agree to an extent, I tend to take the opposite approach. The publicly listed prices in the stratosphere emphasize that there is limited supply to end users. I feel this can fuel demand, and ultimately liquidity, for more moderate, fair, and realistic pricing structures.

They sure can, and you are more than welcome to laugh at those prices as well.

I see some people with million dollar + asking prices in threads with endless bumps.
That is amusing.

Million dollar+ asking prices + endless bumps = "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

I almost jokingly priced a name I paid $40 for here on NP and listed it on GoDaddy for $1600 thinking no one would ever actually go for it. It sold in about 3 months for the full $1600 of which I actually got about $1100 of. It baffled me someone would pay that much for such a name.

I got a warning from our lovely moderator a few months back because I finally posted and asked if the guy had a mental issue or something. I said you keep bumping million dollar domains with an $8 reg fee and you're driving me nuts.

Amanda gave me proper hell but it was sooooooooooooooo satisfying just to post it once.

I had to, I could not take it any longer and afterwards I had a strange feeling of calm.

Until the big boss arrived to put me in my place

you remind me the .company guy,who always asks millions to start auction for onr shit name.
had considered to talk with him then think if i talk with a mad,then i must be even more mad.

The part of me that wants to help members kicks in once in a while and I try to offer a little bit of guidance but in this case I have to agree with you, sometimes it's a futile effort.

 

[MrConor]

To all, how many bumps do you think you should use before you say to yourself "enough is enough"?

IIremember year ago or so, there was a member with veeeery long .top domain name, I am sure everyone knows who I am speaking about...he got lot of heat for his passion for .top, and we now learn that this extension sells surprisingly well in China for large amounts of money almost every day (check namebio). I have not read one comment here which would indicate such development, only this member was basically spot on...

The problem was not extension, but his toptoptoptoptop....endless domain names.
You want to tell he sold sold them?
So where is he?
I am sure if he would sell them, he would come here to report report his sales.

@kingoftop?
@illuminatydomains?
What was his name? Who remember?

If I had 60m, I would just buy remote island without internet and moved there instead of buying virtual names

If I had 60 million I would complain that I don't have a 100 million

 

[karmaco]

I honestly don’t care what other people price their domains at. What is amusing is someone pricing it high here where 80 percent of the names wanted think $50 is end user pricing,

Lets try, you give me 60m and will see I will not ask for more...

This thread is less informative than the chatroom, I keep seeing it at the top. can we at least rename it to
" Complainers making complaints about annoying members by being annoying also "

He dont just bumping them, he is also bought banner space...
Instead to waste money much better could be make landing page for each domain..

But you make the same thing - you are making complaints about annoying members by being annoying too
