WHY A MYSTERY DOMAIN AUCTION?

THE #1 REASON, IT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. (BUT MANY WILL TRY AFTER THIS ONE)

MYSTERY AUCTIONS CAN BE FUN AND EXCITING!!!

MYSTERY DOMAIN AUCTION (M.D.A.) BECAUSE DOMAINS ARE THE NEW PREMIUM REAL ESTATE. HAVING A GREAT DOMAIN IS JUST LIKE HAVING A REAL ESTATE IN THE BUSIEST PART OF TOWN.

YOU COULD OPEN YOUR NEW BUSINESS.

YOU COULD USE THE REAL ESTATE TO EXPAND A BUSINESS.

ARE YOU COULD JUST KEEP IT UNTIL ALL THE LAND IS GONE THEN SELL IT.

ARE YOU COULD DEVELOP THE LAND AND THEN SELL.


ANYWAY YOU GET THE PICTURE.

BUT IF YOUR STILL NOT SURE ABOUT THE VALUE OF DOMAIN NAMES CHECK THESE SITES OUT.

NOW FOR THE DOMAIN NAME.

I HAVE A FEW THINGS I WELL TELL YOU ABOUT YOUR NEW DOMAIN

1. IT'S A VERY RARE AND SOUGHT AFTER TYPE OF DOMAIN NAME. A 3 LETTER DOMAIN NAME. GUARANTEED TO BE ALL LETTERS ARE YOUR MONEY BACK AND YOU KEEP THE DOMAIN.

LETTERS ONLY (THE ONLY NON LETTER YOU WILL SEE IS THE DOT)

2. IT HAS A VOWEL IN IT. (A, E, I, O, U)

3. AND MOST IMPORTANT WHEN GETTING A DOMAIN. CAN IT BE PRONOUNCED?
YES IT CAN AND PRONOUNCED AS A WORD (like saying RED dot whatever), NOT AS LETTERS.(ATW dot whatever)

TO TEST THIS I HAD MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND 8 YEAR OLD SON READ THE DOMAIN NAME, AND THEY BOTH HAD NO PROBLEM AT ALL!!!!

4. LAST THING IT'S GUARANTEED TO BE ONE OF THESE, .INFO, .NAME, .BIZ, .ORG, .NET, ARE YES .COM.

(COME ON IT'S A MYSTERY AUCTION I CAN'T TELL YOU WHICH ONE, BUT I BELIEVE YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY!)

On Jun-08-06 at 16:38:00 PDT, seller added the following information:

There has been well over 27,000 hits on the press release. WOW! This is going to be bigger then I first thought it would. The winner may end up on LENO!

 

[kev]

it will most likely turn out to be a 3 letter .biz with a "q" in it or something

 

[suntech]

I like the idea of progressive payback for first person to bid $xxx
J.K.

 

[.X.]

They certainly put alot of work into it.....If it is a .name .biz,Someone maybe really upset :lol:

I agree with suntech,The bidding incentives are pretty cool... I've seen stranger things happen on ebay,If they get 100K...They will have acomplished a huge sale imo,I'll be watching this one-LOL

 

[B33R]

"Mystery" auctions only benefit one person - the seller.

It's even possible that the seller has multiple domains and will give one relative to the price paid. Whatever happens the buyer will lose out.

Want a crappy domain? Bid on his auction!

:imho:

 

[gingeman]

yeah, I saw the auction yesterday and had the chance to be the first to bid the $200- don't know what its at now. I think B33R is right, they probably have a handful of names and will dish out one that relates to final price. My money is on a dodgy .name, hence I never did bid. Got to admire the ingenuity of the seller though...

 

[nmr86]

its not.. i did it before.. but did it small

 

[cache]

how do you verify that there is truely someone that win the bonus?

"THERE IS BONUS CASH FOR SOME THAT BID AND DO NOT WIN."

 

[gingeman]

its not.. i did it before.. but did it small

Is it you? What's the domain, please, please pretty please!! (i don't like surprises!)





joke btw- good luck with the sale

Iam thinking a .name aswell, Possibly a .biz,Oh well..If folks can sell chicken breast,Grilled cheese sandwichs,Haunted dirt,,I guess the possibilitly of a LLL.name going for 25K is possible,,I am just glad i wont be on the receiveing end
:lol:

 

[treatist]

Lots of if's with this one, I know I am not the best at grammer, but reading through this ad leads me to believe that the owner is not from the US (even though ebay lists him/her as regged in the US).

Even Godaddy is listed as Go Daddy (note the space). Wouldn't you think that someone with a good 3 letter domain hosted at Godaddy would at least get the name right?

Oh well, PT Barnum is still alive and well.

 

[Morph]

That is full of crap.

He says this is the first mystery domain auction?
FALSE.

And for a person who can't seem to find the caps lock...i wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

 

[NameClerk]

I think it's safe to say that the mystery domain isn't a .com

3 letter .com's don't need a "circus" to generate interest.

The winner will get screwed. The non winning bidder who get's the bonus will be the true winner (if they ever see the money).

This will probably end badly.

 

[webcom]

ebay shouldn't alow crap like this

 

[angisson]

wow, 17 bids.. and up to 510 dollars.. thats 509 dollars more than its worth

 

[terryuk]

This will probably end badly.

Who knows

I'd like to see how much it actually goes for!

 

[.X.]

ebay shouldn't alow crap like this

I agree...But they have allowed alot worse...And the funny part is....These sellers always seem to cash in :lol:

 

[MadAboutDomains]

The same seller is selling AB1C.com, net, biz and stuff like that, and he talks rubbish on that auction aswell....

The bull that he talks makes him money... and why would anyone bid $1,000,000 for $100,500 back???

He says that his children could read them alright... but he obviously has no grammar capabilities when he keeps using 'ARE' as a replacement for the word 'OR' all the way through.

Idiot!

 

[fonzie_007]

I'm guessing it something as awful as qaf.biz. More power to the guy if he gets people bidding on it.

 

[Jo]

I saw that auction as well. I didn't like the looks of his other auctions, I even searched back 30 days. I agree he mostly likely has a bunch of 3 lettered domains and will choose one in the end depending on the price. I agree the buyer will not be pleased.

 

[gazzip]

That is full of crap.
i wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

That about sums it up for me too :hehe:



.

 

[WuLabsWuTecH]

i bet it's a .info . Even if it goes for a lot and he has a few 3letter names, he'll still give out his crappiest one

 

[3par]

I predict it is a worth less .name and I predict this auction wont be successful, i.e. the highest bidder wont pay.

 

[linker]

I wish I could generate this kind of intrest in my auctions, but I guess I am too honest...

Someone won't be happy when this ends, I am guessing...

Can you say woQ.name?

 

[dgridley]

The very fact he even mentioned .name turns me off to this auction.. virtually any .name he could have would be worthless IMO.

I agree he's probably holding multiple domains of this sort and this is his way of doling out the worst at a high price. I also agree this can only end badly for the "winner".
