Strangest Domain Purchases ever ??

[gazzip]

From DNJournal - "With his focus on symmetry, his purchases have followed a certain pattern and the prices paid have been thought out down to the last cent. This past week Demas completed the purchase of 11 domains totaling $1,144,444.30"

How does that work ?

Buyer: How much do you want for 444.com ?

Marchex: err, $150,000 or we're not selling

Buyer: Hmmm, I was thinking more like $178,888.89, sound ok to you ?

Marchex: DEAL :lala: :bingo:


Very strange

Funny, i watched a movie the other night with something similar. the people wanted to pay a higher amount for something because they thought the numbers were lucky!

Maybe it has something to do with luck or fung shway(?) in the numbers or simply they like to get rid of the cents.

Sometimes we have to see behind the curtain...

Ok... call me stupid!!!

I was studing a litle bit the domains trying to find some logic..

And i decided to register:

E8GMT.COM (this one has a big secret behind, imo)
E8EQUATOR.COM
E8PLANET.COM
E8WORDS.COM
E8CLOCK.COM

Once again... call me stupid!

Maybe he wanted the media attention so that's why he made those type of purchases

Yea right :D Splurging a million for that. There are many premiums he could have obtained for that money.
