What was your BIG MISS of 2005???

What was your BIG MISS of 2005???
What domain did you just miss getting, woke up too late to register, or just got beat in the bid for a lousy 5 bucks?

I just got into IDN Domain this year & missed by a lousy 2 hours
ケータイ.com (keitai) Japanese for cell (mobile) phone

I was waiting for 3 weeks for that & one other to drop
Then since I lost keitai I decided to register one more that was dropping & lucked up in finding out the new one was the most valuable IDN domain I own, I made a mistake in how I was determing the value at that point...

Let's go 2006......

I just missed Blinkcard_com by a couple of hours. "Blink" is the the term that describes the technology used to read "touchless" credit cards. Instead of a magnetic stripe that gets "swiped" by a clerk at checkout, the card has a chip imbedded in it. Never leaving the owners possession, the customer passes the card in front of an an rfid reader which and the account info gets "blinked" off of the card.

I didn't miss regging this one, but I missed renewing it and am still kicking myself, because it really fits with something I am presently developing and I could have used it. I was fully aware that I was letting it go and simply was not thinking clearly at the time: NameScience_com

An Ebay auction for Direct.com - it sold for just $1k and i've been kicking myself for not bidding that one up.

I've been anticipating more activity in the "blink" arena myself... one I almost didn't register (because I didn't know what it meant at the time) is BlinkTechnology_org. I did decide to reg it at the last minute. Not the best extension, but I'm hoping it'll pan out in the long run.

LOL. You made me research that and you're right. The wayback machine shows the site was owned by the same people back in 2004 as it is now. Lol. I feel much better now

Yeah - Sounds "To good to be True" in that range


I can't really think of any "one" i missed , But I am kicking myself on many from my available list ... I sometimes choose a "fun" domain off my list in place of a "Serious" one .... lol :red: You have to Enjoy what you're doing though IMO

:lol:

2005 was good to me, I didn't miss anything serious, got what I wanted to get on the main, except for the ocassional budget constraints hiccups.

The sellers I dealt with were, thankfully, mostly reasonable people.

The last square peg in my .US collection was transacted over Christmas and I could not have asked for a better ending to the year.

 

[primavera]

CastFilms.com Noticed it was avail and under the radar. Put it on my "later" list. That, along with a few other gems have since been taken. He who hesitates, will reg to late.

 

[XDuncan]

GameChamps.com, went to sleep and it was no longer avail

 

[loscocco]

i missed A1.com. by about $260,000

 

[RickM]

I found 2005 quitre slow on domains for myself...i lost a few that i was kicking myself about but it wasnt too bad.

 

[CrazyTech]

Terror.cc came up for sale here at Namepros and I just didn't have the budget to get it by about $20.

Sorry, that was what you meant wasnt it...? :red:

That was a BIG miss

More like Badger's Big Misses, (or Missus?) than a Big Miss, IMHO.
