:-/

what kinda type in does it get ?
I wish I could afford a prem like that :/

[who]

$1k

Hope you get more than that, but that's my bid

[GeorgeK]

According to Fabulous.com (the site I use to do the redirection), it's had 9000 uniques in the past 30 days (so, 300/day). According to DomainSponsor (who I redirect it to), it had 7500 uniques over that period (although, DS's stats don't tend to be as reliable, I've found, as Fab's).

[Repetitive Monkey]

Very nice domain. I sent you an e-mail.

[paxton]

Great name, George. A premium domain that I suspect has already generated some serious five figure offers.

Good luck with the sale.

[evanmorgan]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[DaddyHalbucks]

Great name!

I have =[BLINGMAGAZINE.COM]= which might be a nice complement.

[DomBuyer]

That is a smokin' domain.

Bling

[brand0n]

what kinda price range we talking?
xxxx? more?

[DomBuyer]

He's looking for six figures.

[Taboo]

He's looking for six figures.

that makes sense considering BLINGBLING.com is selling for 12 figures.

[GeorgeK]

lol I know the owner of BlingBling.com won't sell cheap...

Bling.com is probably more brandable, though (10 characters is too long for most firms).

[BlingDaddy]

Everyone wants to be the Bling Daddy...... few can do it.... LMAO....

[Tango]

He's looking for six figures.

your the expert - it is worth that - correct?

any reason you're not developing the domain name? why don't you approach partners (mfg/retail/etc) yourself or work with someone who will do all the work for you?

[DomBuyer]

your the expert - it is worth that - correct?

I wouldn't buy it at six figures, or even a quarter of that, but I respect George for not selling cheap if that's what he wants out of the name. I think it's a vanity purchase for some bling-blinger.

damn, blingblinger.com is gone...

but bling-blinger.com is still available!


ALL THESE ARE GONE:
BlingBlingBling.com
BLINGed.com
BlingMe.com
BlingYou.com
BlingSex.com
BlingKing.com
KingBling.com
BlingStore.com
BlingBlog.com
even BlingBlingBlingBling.com is taken (by REFLEX).

my favorite so far: BlingTones.com (catchy... has a nice ring to it! LOL)
and
http://www.BlingThing.com LED Belt Buckles, Spinner Buckles & Pimp Cups.

but I wonder how long this will last:

BlingBlingBlingBlingBling.com is still available!

As DomBuyer alludes, there's an implicit "bid-ask" spread.....we all want to buy on the cheap, and sell high. 6-figures is fairly reasonable, though, for an end-user.

If you look at the Marchex purchase of UltSearch's portfolio, they paid $160 million dollars (roughly) for 500,000 uniques/day. That's $320/unique/day. 300 uniques/day = $96,000. A lot of domains have sold for more than that. That was also around 8-10 years income, for UltSearch's portfolio.

Pointing bling.com at DomainSponsor isn't optimal (someone higher on the food chain would have a direct deal with Overture or Google). Since DS is taking 50%, if one doubles the actual DS earnings, and then multiplies by 8 to 10 years....one's getting to 6-figures.

If you move up higher in the food chain, the numbers become even more interesting. If Google or Yahoo (Overture) started buying domains for traffic, 10x *their* earnings would be even higher than what DS is getting, since DS is only getting a fraction of the Google/Overture bid prices.

Taking it to the top of the food chain, the advertisers, when they're buying traffic on Google or Overture, their bids reflect only a percentage of their true profits from the traffic. If one could get 10x the advertiser's true earnings from the traffic, then you're laughing.

If you're a good negotiator, you can get much, much, much more. Selling the "branding" value gets you the biggest prices.

well said.

I've been tempted to switch from DomainSponsor and move over to Kanoodle/DomainHOP to see how much more I'd make... but never got around to it... or perhaps take up Slavik's offer...

re: BLING.com
has lots of development promise. been thinking about the possibilities.

[adonthenet]

Emailing you.

[Brujah]

Lil John didn't want it ? I'm surprised!

[BlingDaddy]

Will the REAL Bling Daddy please stand up? LMAO -

[ry0t]

what kinda price range we talking?
xxxx? more?

Way more than your 4 fingers brand0n haha I wouldnt waste time throwing in a bid of 5k on that domain its worth tons more.

[pornstar2pac]

I see the highest bid in this thread is $1,000


so I bid $1,100

[slapass]

Don't yoou have to worry about a time line on this one?

[GeorgeK]

No timeline. I'm not pressed for cash. Someone emailed a $25K offer today. I've turned down $50K in the past few months.

For some reason, bling.com gets more offers than any of my other domains (even though I have much more valuable ones), so I'm testing the market to see if someone serious wants to step up and do a deal.

[paxton]

Don't yoou have to worry about a time line on this one?

For any slang term, one has to wonder whether or not it will last. But I think "bling" has proven that it's not going to fade fast. People were telling George to sell this when the name was "hot" a year or so ago - when I'm sure its value (and offers) were substantially less.

This is one popular culture word that has grown stronger and stronger. Great job hanging on to it by the owner.

[GeorgeK]

Go to http://news.google.com/ and type "bling" --- lots of matches in the mainstream press.

[comeplay]

If i were you i would present this domain to snoop dog himself.

[buddyjuf]

1200 serious bid


hehe, good luck selling it and buying yourself a nice porsche

[Net41]

Anyone know Jacob The Jeweler?

[slapass]

That is a pretty good idea. make it a status thing for a real big dog.

'Bling Bling' Added To Oxford English Dictionary
04.30.2003 7:00 PM EDT

Term joins words like 'jiggy,' 'dope' and 'phat' in the definitions resource.

The next time you and your pals coin a slang term to describe your latest bejeweled accessories, don't bet on keeping it exclusive. The linguistics "gangstas" over at the Oxford English Dictionary aren't "new jacks" to the latest "def" lingo.

sell it to these guys, they coined the term
