LOL ... Domain Inquiry

[YoungJohn]

This is a recent inquiry I got for my favorite domain name, and most likely my most valuable, Pro3d.com.

Hello John! I like name of your site, i'am 3d artist from Russia. i Want to create site about CG for professional artists. Can u give me domain or sell it with very reasonable price?
If u want, u can see my portfolio \\\ TY!
I hope u r alive!!!

...

At least it made me feel bad enough to start mocking up a simple design for my site, as I honestly haven't had time to do a redesign in almost 10 years. I also dropped animation work entirely and went from 3d design into programming. 3d is one of the worst paying jobs, for the level of training it takes, in all of the design world... unless you are in the upper echelon of art director or project manager.
:lol:
Anyhow, thought I'd share the LOL.

What gave me a bigger lol is that you joined in 2003 and this is your 3rd post!
Can't anyone get you to shut up?

:p

Re: the email - if only that sentence would work whenever any of us domainers want to grab someone's domain?

Can u give me domain or sell it with very reasonable price?

Sure, we'll just give them to the guy, otherwise they're just sitting around in our account making adsense income and being sold to end users for good prices; no use in that, right?

Edit: although there's probably no use in posting comments in OP's thread; at your present rate, you won't check in again until approx 2014, right?

Good one

Re: people asking you to give them names: I gave one of my names away to a charity a few months ago. They asked what the cost of it was in their opening email; had they acted like I should give it to them in the first place, there is no way I would have given it to them... I really lose respect for people when they show disrespect for personal property rights.

Domain solicitations such as this are annoying. Just be glad that you aren't a sucker and know the value of your WEB REAL ESTATE.

These solicitors are just like telemarketers that call your house trying to buy it for less than a fraction of its value.

Sadly there are people who would sell their house, just as their domains in this manner.

I am not even sure if it is worth your while to respond to a solicitation like this.

Good luck developing your 3D domain.

YoungJohn is smart, he likely reads more than he writes.

BTW, Did the email suggest that you supply them with a little seed money to get their project started as well?

After all, they're doing you the favor of taking that name off your hands.:bah:
