discuss Someone bought i.news for $35,000 and left it?

[Arpit131]

I just noticed the sale of i.news for $35,000. Someone bought it for that price and left it to no avail.

There is no website on that name.
I wouldn't consider that as a reseller price, would you?

How can people afford to buy such names and not develop it!

Your take on this?

Some people even drop their domains which were purchased for 5F...

+ traditionally many sales are fake or for tax optimization purpose...

Nice sale, I have a bunch of i.gTLD domains, news of this sale makes my day

Very interesting, I own ine.ws

 

[Joshua Harding]

Not sure - but they're more than welcome to do the same with my domain: i.hosting

sometimes when you have billions, 35K were quite nothing to loose LOL

Of just for plain old money laundering.

wales can always afford to waste money... it is not the first time, neither will it be last.

How many would be of that kind? That would be a small percentage I guess. And sales like these which are the only few in these categories won't be fake I believe!

Thoughts?

Well, sales like these are rare. Very rare! I wouldn't tell you to base your proposition on this.

That might actually give you some good returns someday maybe!

It is not small, such tax optimization technique is popular and used for many years...

Fund.com was bought for 10million in 2008 and it is left undeveloped, so does many names. For some it is product for some it is investment, for some it is tax optimization...For some of us it is our mortgage plan, retirement plan, party expense, etc etc...

I sold a domain for low to mid five figures about nine months ago and the owner hasn’t yet bothered to change the nameservers.
