Vintners.com Sells for $45,000

[Charley]

Sonoma resident and Bulgarian wine importer Vance T. Petrunoff sold Vintners.com domain name and web site to a Pennsylvania web developer for $45,000.

With the opening up of direct sales after the last year Supreme Court ruling, sales of wine-related domain name sales have been bubbling: CabernetSauvignon.com sold for $20,000, WineList.com for $21,255, RedWines.com $19,500.

Vintners.com is one of the most unique domain names in the wine business. A Vintner is a wine merchant or a wine producer. In some cases the term is also applied, erroneously, to winemakers.

"It will be a great starting point for winery direct wine shopping for consumers," said previous owner Vance T. Petrunoff.

Vance T. Petrunoff also publishes BulgarianWine.com and is currently offering for sale GlassofWine.com, Wine-Sale.com, WineFair.com, WineShows.com, WineMagic.com, WineryVisit.com.

I still have it. YEah, I turned down the $60K offer (domain trafficer) in hopes to find and sell to an end user/brander for somewhere near the 4 times independentaly appraised Mid Six Figures the domain is worth.

Apparently I've made the right choice.

Sounds great, good luck and please let us know how you get on :lala:

Who knows? Maybe whoever got it used it to pay for someone's kidney transplant or started an orphanage somewhere.

Perhaps in a long, drawn out sort of way...

Ever heard of Mattew Lesko? He's the guy on TV that dresses in the Joker Suit, covered in Question Marks handing out all kinds of Government Grants and such in his massively think Book centered in FREE Money from the Government.

The people that BUY his book, might have used a grant or loan to pay for that kidney transplant.

I should have at least hot a free book out of the deal...

Hey Mattew, how about a little reciprcation?!?!

I let FreeMoney.com go for that very reason!!!

Today, that domain is worth a Million EASY.

If I had that , would have waited more ..... ....... Anyways that LUCK !

 

[GoPC]

Consider the time... what was I waiting for? As far as I knew, there wasn't anything TO wait for. It's not like I said, "hmmmm... million bucks or just let it go"

I didn't even KNOW.

Now ignorance is no excuse. I'm very, very angry at myself and will to the day I did, spit in my own eye over it. But now I know better. Which is probably why I don't let ANYTHING go now. LOL!!!

So anyway, who wants GERWURTRAMINER.COM for a quick $40 bucks? It's late, I'm tired, this is my only "wine" domain and I shouldn't have bought it. I have 200+ others waiting for a body to go with their soul and they are being neglected.

Who's it gonna be?

I have a Private Broker working on the deal now (as opposed to the park-n-wait pros) who have unearthed a few offers BETTER than the one I turned down, but still are telling me to hold out for that $250K - $400K deal.

I was under the impression you had sold this name and were willing to provide proof of said sale to one of your detractors? Did I get it wrong?

Totally wrong... never said it was sold. I think the hubub was that he didn't believe the offer. It was through a broker so it's kinda hard to make up, LOL!

Anyway, as I said, my Broker (and the other 4 appraisals) said that it was undervalued at $60K so I counteroffered and then walked.

It's that simple.

---------------

As for the "G" wine... it's a dry white. The Vineyard I worked at was famous for it's 'Vert. Also for their Cabernet, but I wasn't fortunate enough to grab up that domain

Anyway, Try it if you like a really dry white

GoPC

not when Gerwurztraminer.com is available to register (I believe that is the correct spelling) :imho:

 

[GoPC]

Nope... missed it again :D LOL!!!! (I told you no one could spell it)

It's GEWURZTRAMINER

Still, should give you an idea of what the mispell opporunity might be

GoPC

 

[Charley]

How can someone remember this word? All different alphabets ......

 

[GoPC]

In the business, we all just call it "Vert"... easiest way to remember it. We mispelled it all the time on order forms and invoices... REALLY common.

Wine folks, consumers, know Vert and shop it. Whether or not they are more likely to spell it correctly or not, is a complete mistery.

From my own experience, I seen more mispells excluding the "z" than anything else.... which is why I grabbed that one up originally.

It's my ONLY wine domain and I'm really moving in a different direction so... like any wine, it can either sit on my shelf and gather dust, improving with time... or I can take it down, crack the cork and share it with friends
