Great sale. When did you reg it?

 

[JudgeMind]

Congrats.

When brandables start hitting the 4k mark you know you have done well.

Care to share if the sale was through BB, your shop, or they reached out to you.

Thanks

Originally through boostnames.com

 

[morf13]

Congrats on these sales, by the way, I know it can vary, but how Many of you pay extra to make these premier listings or front page listings when you post them for sale on GD, Sedo, Flippa, etc as opposed to listing them free under the standard listings?

BBCPhotos - $150, sold to BBC of the UK, courtesy sale

hi,tomcarl
congrats
but if it wasnt a courtesy sale and you listed it on some market
is it maybe a trademark issue?
newbie's question,thank you

You're right, sorry about that I somehow accidentally got them in this thread

Nice man, where are you selling these at? Godaddy? Sedo?

 

[ricksinfoshop]

I keep them parked on a couple of marketplaces but almost all of them are from proactive marketing. Contacting end users which I think would appreciate them.

Nice! How many prospects do you usually email for each domain before you get some offers rolling in?

 

[Rob84]

No doubt! How did you sell it?

I have offered the name for different - keyword related - websites. One replied positively (the rest said: no thanks), the offer was OK for me, so we settled the deal.

all .com's

What's the meaning behind that one?

I did a little digging and found a ton of names on GDA with that plus seemingly random numbers.

 

[tomcarl]

Only smallish deals so far this year.

Modest, are we?

J/w for the incoming inquiry sales, did you park your names? Or use custom templates? If you parked, which company do you use?

Congrats on the sales. Very nice.

A little more digging and I found an expiring domain tyc-ylc.net which used to forward to a Chinese (I think) gambling website. Wonder if there's any connection to that. You can see that at Archive.org

Yes. When I had plugged tycylc into google translator, it gave me "sun city casino". I also noticed that besides tycylc, the Chinese register a lot of different domains that have ylc in them and that they all typically have something to do with gambling. However, when I plug just ylc into Google it tells me that it means "a car". I've asked Chinese friends to help, but they don't know either and that includes a friend of a friend that lives in China. I also emailed the 4.cn broker about it after the deal closed but haven't received any response yet. *shrug*

There's a Yakama Legends Casino (YLC) in Washington state, but I don't know how that would tie into Chinese websites. Ya never know...

I think we can probably file that one under "coincidence".

I was playing with google translator and noticed the following. As I type tycylc into it, google produces one Chinese character for each letter that I type. I don't understand why it does that since each Chinese character represents an entire word not just a letter, but that's what it does nonetheless. Anyhow, when I click on those characters in order to see the English translation, google also generates the pinyin version of the Chinese characters at the bottom of the page. Here's what it looks like: Tàiyáng chéng yúlè chéng . Notice that tycylc corresponds to the first letter of each syllable. Is tycylc a generally recognized abbreviation? Maybe, but I'm still not sure.

Interesting. I had been thinking it's an acronym for some (possibly) commercial entity.

Kind of strange that your Chinese friend couldn't elaborate on it, if it was anything obvious.
