Southwest Airlines made me an offer of $100K on the name SW.com ... in less then a year the name sold under $800K in China - it’s back up for sale
Nvidia, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook all passed on the chance to own Ai.com - did not even ask the price ^
I got an offer of $3,000,000 in cash for VR.com from HTC ... the owners passed ^ the name is still for sale
I represented Blue.com, the Blue Man Group passed on it
I represented 77.com, 777.com and 77Bank in Japan passed on the name
I represented HH.com, Hermes, Hilton Hotels, Hyatt all passed ^
I worked on 123.com - 123-reg.co.uk had interest but we could not come to a resolve
I represented WW.com - presented to weight watchers (no contract) “I was a rookie then” Weight Watchers waited a couple years and bought the name
All in all, I have seen and worked on 25+ LL.com and NN.com domains ... I have spoken to all the top dogs and for a hot minute even had an EBA with Afternic, “contracting” ...
I have sold a few names in all extensions, both .com and GTLDs, I even sold
https://mortgage.loans for $400K on a payment plan, however the buyer had financial problems, could not keep up w/ payments and the name was returned back to our ownership, but we made money, hence the six figure appraisal today
Let me tell you this, even if you have a truly million dollar name, it’s not easy to sell, don’t have any delusions about this industry, I once upon a time did
Now I realize patience is key and time is your best friend
