how will this end up?

 

[HeyNow]

I say it's better than giving Adam Dicker their money.

Amen. Additionally, it kinda makes me think Rams.com will now only be worth what a typical one-word .com is worth. This is great.

Agreed.

I am a die hard Giants fan. I typed in Gmen.com it is redirected to Giants.com

I think you are right, looks like they've settled for therams.com, so they don't need those other names.

Anyway, after seeing your comment, I was curious to see what the rams.com might fetch if it was just the name of an animal. So I did a search on valuate.com of other farm type animals, and it seems they range between around $100-200,000. Therefore, since rams is only 4 letters, it is probably at the upper end of that range, although valuate gives it a price of $116,000.
In conclusion, rams.com is still a valuable name, although it is unlikely to ever sell for the kind of money that the LA Rams could afford to pay.

I guess I should have put "For amusement purposes only" at the bottom ; )

A quick hover over the rest of the NFL teams at the bottom of the page shows that the majority of them aren't using mascot only.com as their domain so really it shouldn't be that surprising. Some are abbreviated city+mascot like azcardinals or kcchiefs, others are entire city+mascot like buffalobills, there are actually less than half of the teams using mascot only (14/32).

 

[TRY]

Remember how the NFL made a bid of $275,000 for cowboys .com then went back on their bid saying they thought it was $275. I guarantee they are not that stupid. anyways It eventually sold for $370,000.

Not that they actually need the domain, but i'm sure the LA Rams know they are the only high-value buyer for this domain and so they can make low offers all day long.

But would buy from Adam Dicker now anyway?

The Rams today traded for the overall number one pick in the 2016 draft. The team that picks first is obligated to pay a fortune to the number one picked player. The going rate is a 22 million contract. Now if the Rams can negotiate down to 21 million they get Rams.com for 'free' lol

$650k is not a crazy asking prize. However, Unfortunately for Adam integrity is far more valuable than any domain name. A Business like LA Rams cannot be involved in a transaction with an individual facing numerous allegations of ripping people off! This is bad for Business! reputation is massively important. If I was the man in the chair deciding on these matters I would definitely not buy from Adam Dicker. Domain privacy? Adam himself use to say NEVER hide your details on whois as it makes it difficult for buyers to find you. He should have taking his own course on DN college.

@richface - I'd buy Rams.com from the devil himself if I owned The Rams. Despite whatever I think of the current owner
