why is that shocking? it's the name of the famous bar/restaurant/club/shopping district of a major American city. If he's local I'm surprised he didn't develop it - i think it's worth more than 250K.

So dollars is worth 650k and a local district name more than 250k?

Dead on, Mutt. Actually, if you knew what was going on right now in Buckhead you would realize that it was a GREAT buy at only $250k.

Some interesting reading....

All of the Buckhead clubs are now closed...but in a few years Buckhead will be known for alot more than some dive bars and a shooting or two!! ;)

**Rochard** · 07-11-2007, 09:45 AM

Didn't he pay a million bucks for this domain a few years back?

**woj** · 07-11-2007, 09:52 AM

nice

**the alchemist** · 07-11-2007, 09:57 AM

Wow congrats, that's a very nice sale

**dcohon** · 07-11-2007, 09:59 AM

Congrats

Congratulations!! Nice Sale

**GTS Mark** · 07-11-2007, 10:37 AM

Wow congrats to Rick, I would have thought Dollar rental car would have been the logical company to buy this domain or a financial institution...

I think $650,000 is a bit low to be honest, but as long as the seller is happy who cares

Correct. Guess who owns www.dolares.com? That would be me. Anyone want to buy pesos.com? I have that too.

Not a bad ROI ;)

Did you end up doing anything with the dollars.com backend (the software) or did you write it off?

**collegeboobies** · 07-11-2007, 11:18 AM

Excellent question. In fact we have something that can benifit you. Check www.madisonavenue.com (I like that domain too).

I figured it to be a million dollar name as well. It's all about perception and how long you are willing to wait to sell.

I have almost 3000 names. I believe my names are worth several million, at what point others will agree is the question. Rick did not think so as he made me no offers. I personally would not have paid $400k for Iran.com or buckhead.com (buckhead.com unless it is developed is not going to do much I don't think, unless he re-sells it to the city for a million) it's all perception.

I know one thing every name I have ever sold for a decent chunk of cash, I was told I would never get that price and I always got more than they said I would ever get. Now some times I wish I had those names back I would get 2-3 times that now. But that's the way it works sell it or keep it you can't do both. Maybe I should joint venture or lease them?

I'll tell you one thing this selling names based on traffic value alone is coming to a close. The .com market is coming back big. I wrote about this on my website on the front page Cashcows.com about 5 or 6 years ago. About the domain flipping.

**moneymotivates** · 07-11-2007, 11:49 AM

impressive ROI congrats!
