24hr Domain Auction: VIPLounge.com NR - GoFuckYourself.com

rankscom · 03-17-2004, 03:16 PM

I've owned this name for years now. Just realized right now that I don't even have it online, so it's impossible for me to know how many type-ins it's getting. Our new review site is doing well, and wanted to raise some advertising dollars to give it a boost. I'll also be donating 20% of the proceeds to one of the following charities:

-Free Speech Coation - http://www.freespeechcoalition.com/
-IMPA : http://www.impai.org/
-Patent Fight (Homegrown/Spike)??

The buyer will get to choose where that donation will go.

Domain: VIPLounge.com
Type-Ins: Unknown (probably under 100/day)
Minimum Bid: None
Value: ?? (TBD)
Branding: Cam Network, Mega-Site, Webmaster Resources.. almost anything.

If you'd like to bid, simply post the dollar amount. The auction will end at 5pm est. tomorrow (thursday), not a minute later. So the highest bid up until exactly 5:00pm est. (5:01 is too late), will win the domain name. Payment can be made via wire or paypal.

No e-mail, icq bids... all bids must be made in this thread. Good luck!

p.s. If I've missed anything (rules, etc.), I'll make a follow-up post in this thread. If you have any questions, e-mail me, rick at ranks.com.

quiet · 03-17-2004, 11:47 PM

it's rick, from the old ynot days. good luck with the sale, and nice donation idea.

rankscom · 03-17-2004, 11:53 PM

Thanks to George for bringing this to my attention.

Since the board doesn't put a tag on edited messages, I have to change the rules on how the auction ends. Otherwise bidders could edit their final bids without anyway noticing.

Rule Change:
The auction will continue after 5pm eastern time until there are no bids during a 5 minute period. So technically, if there are no bids after 5pm, it will end at 5:05pm. If there is a bid at 5:01, a bid can be made until 5:06, but 5:07 would be too late (just to be clear).

This is good and bad... bidders will have a fair shot to make a high bid, but the bidding will extend for an unpredictable amount of time. I don't have much of a choice though. Hopefully this will be the only rule change necessary, but please view future pages just in case.

Thanks,
Rick

Forgot to also include this in my last post...

Please keep all bidding from this point in minimum increments of $100 or more. No $1 outbids. Keeps the bidding simple. Thanks.

Wasup Mike!! Congrats on all your success bro.

Checkout: http://www.shortdomains.com , let me know if there's any names that might interest you. Use the e-mail on the site, and I'll reply to it myself. All the best.

Sami · 03-18-2004, 12:13 PM

Thats a pretty good domain name.

rankscom · 03-18-2004, 02:41 PM

20 min. left (plus bidding extension)... good luck!

GeorgeK · 03-18-2004, 02:54 PM

$1,700

Giorgio_Xo · 03-18-2004, 02:55 PM

I down bid it to $100.

rankscom · 03-18-2004, 03:01 PM

Current high bid is $1700. If there are no other bids in the next 5 minutes (until 5:05 est.) , then the auction is closed. That would be a steal!!

GeorgeK · 03-18-2004, 03:02 PM

I think I already won.

I placed the bid at 4:54 pm (intentionally), so the auto-extension didn't apply, as there were no bids in the final 5 mins.

"The auction will continue after 5pm eastern time until there are no bids during a 5 minute period. So technically, if there are no bids after 5pm, it will end at 5:05pm."

This meant the 5 min. begins after 5pm... regardless of when the bids were placed beforehand. I'm sorry for any confusion...

rankscom · 03-18-2004, 03:05 PM

doesn't look like it'll matter though

GeorgeK · 03-18-2004, 03:08 PM

Yes, a moot point now.

If you email me with Paypal nfo, I'll send you funds immediately.

Not bad for a low post count GFYer.

rankscom · 03-18-2004, 03:08 PM

You're good George! Thanks for bidding, and hope you make a lot of money off the domain!

Let me know what charity you'd like the 20% to be donated to. You know how to get in touch with me.

This was a fun little auction/experiement. Good to see the results.

GeorgeK · 03-18-2004, 03:09 PM

Oh, for the charity stuff, you can split the 20% donation among the 2 charities (I don't have a real preference).

GeorgeK · 03-18-2004, 03:55 PM

Thanks for a quick and smooth transaction. It was a pleasure dealing with a true pro.

If anyone has other names for sale, feel free to email me.

Thanks again George.

I sent the donation for $170 off to IMPA, and am awaiting to hear back from Free Speech Coalition on how to donate the other $170. Enjoy the domain!
