discuss Misspelled Domain Name Getting Bids

[Ms Domainer]

An expiring auction (In other words, not mine) at Go Daddy, greatful.com

https://auctions.godaddy.com/trpItemListing.aspx?miid=178349603
​

The correct spelling is "Grateful"

Bidding is over $500 and probably will go up.

My question: why would anyone pay so much for a domain that is more of a brandable and not such a "great" one at that?

There are 18 bidders.

Is there something special about this domain, or are the bidders notoriously bad spellers?

most people make mistake while typing or writing this type of word so its good for buying and its not bad deal.

I do have an intentional typo: Relpy.com; I've had it for a few years.

I think it's a cool brandable on its own -- and it was cheap (Go Daddy BIN).

I don't think I would consider Relpy a typo of Reply.

I like the Urban Dictionary definition. It made me laugh.

relpy
smelly, skanky people. Generally describes a person who doesn't shower often enough.
Ugh, I'm sick of smelling all these relpy people. They gotta go shower, or something.
