* I fiddled around with NetBet.com in '96 - '97 for a couple of years and just let it expire.

* 5 years ago I sold WebTraffic.com for $18,000 and had an offer about a month later for $40,000.

* I have GayAdultMarketing.com now and can't even get an offer of $1,000 for it.

* I also have PersianPuppy.com which I bought for a gay adult directory like PersianKitty but nobody can see the potential here and the amount of free publicity.

"The domain game" - fun stuff!


Oh boy, I was all ready to tell you how quickly the domain market changes. You know, buy (or sell) one year and regret a year later.

I sold a bunch of names just over a year ago and I could have sold them for soooo much more had I sold them today instead. Oh well.

Your examples are definitely tough to swallow. Those were some terrific domain names. The fact that there was an immidiate flip for a significant increase in price is oh, so painful.

Sorry for what you missed, but happy for what you got!!!! Nice thread!
