Taboo,

yeh they are good people over at nat a1. Sold a good name to them back in 98, and the wired next day np.

Thanks for all the kind words Taboo!!

I think that name has huge potential, and with a great business plan it should definitely grab some VC attention. You did your part in purchasing the domain, so anything else we get from the exchange wouldn't feel right. You deserve any and all the success you gain from here. Do keep me updated though on the site, I can't wait to see it develop. That's a real nice gesture though, and I appreciate it.

If you know anyone looking to buy the rest of my domains, send em to: http://www.shortdomains.com/

Best of luck my friend!

Rick are you selling the rest of those domains for 25K?

This is an interesting thread.

Wish I would have gotten into the domains business sooner.

as with all things investing:)

you are in the domain Biz

but you already have an amazing portfolio. with the money you're making, you can afford to invest deeper in this business or any business, anytime you want. :)

btw, i thought you owned mikeai.com ?

LOL, yep the 2 Ricks in the biz got the gems for sure.

all this chatting is making me wanna get back in the game again. :1orglaugh and I've only gone cold turkey since August 1. it's nice to see the leaders pop up again.

anyone know if wf is still running that co-op? curious where it led.

Taboo will you be at the show?

webfather redirects porno.com to ROAR / Fabulous so i think there must be a reason for that

Good thread. Good info and generously shared.

:thumbsup

I wish. I just moved (still) into a new house and remodeling basement. gotta set up my "MATRIX" home office and the electrician's needs me here to set up my stuff for the extra juice he's piping in. lol. i've got an insane set up that'll probably give me some disease in 10 years. I won't miss any shows next year though. I really would love to network with all of you. i think I could get a lot done there.

seems very interesting..i never thought there are still some non registered names worth reselling

I'm selling some stuff if anyone's got money to invest.

The key is generic traffic.

just email me at jordan <*at*> nametower.com

The drops are too crazy now, I don't even bother with them.

I've sold some nice ones though:
Glossary.com
Counties.com
LPH.COM
RRN.com
RRA.COM
OTP.COM
PKP.com
Syndromes.com
Deport.com
Lunches.com
Does.com
etc.etc.

That name looks familiar. ;)

Nice names, best of luck with those nametower.

Yeah, they've been selling like hotcakes lately too... I have no doubt someone will plunk 25k for the rest of em here soon. If I had time to market these things, I would simply hold on to them and make much more.

Pornaholic.com would be a great email addy.

Rick, you've got some interesting names left on your list. good price for the lot. but if no one bites or you don't feel like waiting, put them on pool.com's new auction site, but before you do, email me so I can give you contact info for people there. i think you could get a bit more than $25k over there listing them separately. Or create a special page/domain without the adult domains and contact a major VC firm to see if they'd like to buy the whole lot for $50k-100k to use for their portfolio of startups that are still under the radar. you'll at least get the price you're asking if not more. a few hours on the phone can't hurt. and you'd still have some adult domains left over to flip. i posted this on another thread:

http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/newrep...postid=4989504
overhang = imagine a fruit tree that's branches are weighed down almost to the point of snapping from having too much fruit on the ends.

that "overhang" i mentioned is industry wide and is considered a bad thing by the people who put money into the vc fund, but it's a great thing if you're a startup or selling something to the VCs. They want their fees/commissions and need to spend money.

Hey :)

Yeah great names :)

(those are some of my top sold ones) :p

I have Funnys.com, rapping.com, and some other names right now.

email me when ranks.com is for sale :Graucho

So you finally sold Lunches.com, congrats.

So you finally sold Lunches.com, congrats.

finally?

LOL.

Maybe i had it for a few months?
heheheh.

Thanks for the congrats though.

I would love to know what kind of prices domains will be going for in 3-4 years from now.

:winkwink:

I just picked up FriendCash.com 5 minutes ago. I was going thru todays drop list of names that no one wanted. And for me, it was the best $6.50 I 've spent today. I'm adding it to a new sponsor search site called SponsorCash.com that i picked up for under $30 during a drop earlier this year.

Plus if you're a news/info junkie like me, look for trends, new terms etc, it's easy to find gold. I read this article and posted it on gfy days ago:

///
Has cell phone blogging found its place?
Published: August 6, 2004, 5:10 AM PDT
http://news.com.com/Has+cell+phone+b...3-5299687.html

Cell phone software makers are putting a new twist on Web logs by tapping into geotracking features in handsets. However, the location-based mobile social networks--or "LoMoSos"--are expensive to use so far, and wireless carriers have been slow to adopt them.
///

I didn't even make it to the 2nd paragraph before I realized it was probably a new tech term that VCs coined and I rushed to reserve LoMoSo.com & LoMoSos.com, then i checked google on the 6th and LoMoSo had maybe 2 results, someone's last name. today it has 57+ cause lots of bloggers are beginning to use the term. but you never know, I'm sure I can milk it for more than the $13 I spent.

god damn is this GFY? nice thread for sure!

i know. i was being sarcastic. you emailed me when you first acquired it. :1orglaugh

Running the review site (which is doin very well) has more work than I (and my staff) can get done on a daily basis. I can barely take time to post in this thread. The domains don't take up a lot of time to take inquiries, but the time adds up, and we can't afford to take time away from our main project.

I'm hoping to sell everything within the next 30 days. A pool.com auction might be a good idea, but I'd prefer just to get rid of them as a lot. Do you know if they would be willing to do an auction for them all? I'd be very interested in that.

I really appreciate your input on this, I may e-mail you soon... maybe we can work together.

Congratulations but I don't see so much value in them.
I mean I know the value of type-in or generic domains...but with names like sponsorcash.com or friendcash.com you have to make a site first and then promote it somehow, before it makes you money.

I think I'd be more happy if I could register for free ( i mean for $6.99 or whatever the registrar charges ) a domain that would have very little typein traffic, but it would make me like 2 sales per month from that traffic just by redirecting to a corresponding sponsor's site, rather than registering a name like sponsorscash.com or friendcash.com that IMO requires work and promotiong to make any money.

Yes, great thread.
Thanks to everyone. Even AVM for the bumps :)

PS If nat a1 were so great they would buy
69ers.com from me! LOL

first thing you need to do is take hentai.co.uk off afternic and point it to a hentai sponsor asap and let it sit.

Preapproved.co.uk, market it to Credit card / banks asap.

also, FitScience.com is too cheap. you'll think I'm crazy, but add another zero and negotiate down from there. why? i know there's not much if any type-in etc, but for the fitness/health industry, you could flip it if you spent 60 days contacting ppl. take it off afternic and throw some fitness links/news feeds on it before you look for suitors. you've got nothing to lose at this point. it is a very brandable domain and can be used for ppl products/food/supplements and even pet industry. in fact, price it at $100,000 when you shop it around and work it far down to where you're very happy. let them pay you in small annual payments if nothing else. you only want $300-$1500 for it. ask for $1,000 a year for 20 years if that makes you happy. you don't always need to sell domains, when you can license them. contact GNC, weider, nautilus, metrx, atkins, etc.

I'm not really in the domain bizz.
This domain was from a guy I know. He was selling it and asked if I was interested.

yeah, when you contact them with the name/info I give you, tell them it's as a lot. if they say they don't do that, tell them even greatdomains.com just started auctioning LOTS. it's true. or ebay it all. some vc highrollers still go to the domain auctions there. and of course we can work together. I need plenty of people who want to trade sweat-for-equity and knowledge-for-equity.

btw, pornoftheday.com is nice

but take debtcapital.com off your list asap. you can make the same amount i paid you or maybe even 5 times that, with that domain.

CFSB vs. SUNTRUST

make them fight each other for it.

shameless plug:

im selling OnlineBankTransfer.com is anybody wants to snag it up for a good price :winkwink:

yes. correct. but keep in mind I'm running a business incubator to build brands, not just redirecting to sponsors. some of the heavyweights on gfy are allowing me to private label their sites because that's my strategy. its win/win for everyone. For me, FriendCash.com is the perfect name for one of our refer-a-friend affiliate programs we're developing. So from a sponsor standpoint, it's a perfect fit. also perfect for social-networking sites. And SponsorCash.com is as generic as I wanted it to be so I can list every sponsor (mainstream/adult/offline) in a search engine format. It does take time & work, but i only sleep 4 hours.

and know this, because of you, I had to register friendScash.com and sponsorScash.com just a sec ago. seeing your typo made me drop more money. i will never forgive you, yet I also need to buy you a drink to thank you. :1orglaugh

As the Net becomes more and more integrated with people's lives, the value of Internet real estate is going to up and up and up and up.

Many people will be kicking themselves, like always, for not buying early on.

i kick myself for getting out of the game 2 weeks ago.

:)

"Just when I thought that I was out... they pull me back in"

anyone likes the name http://www.SwiftWets.com ? :)

Anyone have any good perfume or cologne type names??

I have perfumestore.com, but would like to check out some more.

New store soon :)

thanks

Todd

we're buying financial domain names if anyone has any to sell
email me at [email protected]
also non-adult domains

as always we pay top $$

very nice.

Early on was 1997. Nowadays the market is fierce and already dominated by a couple dozen big players :2 cents:

Slav,

I have a good one for you man :)

worldbanks.com

Taboo,

Thanks man.

Programmers are doing up the store right now, should be ok. Tough market, but we have been running stores online since 1995, so I think I can make a little dent :)

You should make a worldwide bank index, starts some SE traffic going to that site and sell advertising to offshore compenies ( or something like that )

Polish,

Pretty good idea there. But the only problem is, doesn't that take labor or work to do? :) LOL

slavdogg, email sent.

i just bought some too. maybe we'll trade for g.o.d.

:)

and I'm looking forever for a big tits related domain.. can some of you big guys show me the way to a good big tits related domain..
got the cash show me the names.

ICQ: 54079298

:1orglaugh

Thats very funny Mike!

Might you be interested in thepheromone.com ?

So who are the heavyweights in the domain industry? i'm not talking about just those who grab the most drops, I mean who else has healthy portfolios. everyone, please help me compile a list. in no particular order, and some may not belong anymore. I only chose to reveal those who don't fly under the radar. Everyone below makes it well known what's in their portfolios, if they don't, I didn't mention their domains.

+ National A-1
+ BuyDomains.com
+ FMA.com / Elequa
+ Chena.com
+ DomainDeluxe.com
+ DotcomAgency.com
+ eRealEstate.com/Webfather
+ Slav
+ Mail.com, just down down their email list and you'll see. I remember when they tried to IPO an incubator called World.com
+ Communicate.com
+ Reflex
+ MostWantedDomains.com
+ AVM?
+ CNET, gotta respect a company that owns/licenses: tv.com, radio.com, news.com, shopper.com, mp3.com, gamecenter.com, download.com, community.com
+ Digimedia.com, they've got lots more than they reveal on their site and they won't sell me a damn thing. :)
+ Yahoo. Yes, yahoo. own/buy domains to keep their competitors at bay.
+ Disney. always on a buying spree for potential projects that may get greenlit. always buying amazing domains. very large and healthy portfolio.

former kings, but still visionaries:
+ WebMagic(.com), who developed/ipo'd: Toys.com, Cooking.com, Sports.com, Auctions.com, Collectibles.com, Sales.com, Pets.com
+ Idealab, they sold some to FMA, but at one time owned or still own evolution.com, research.com (fma), tools.com, ebusiness.com, goto.com (now overture), incubated eToys/Toys.com, Pets.com, Cooking.com, and countless others.

ok, I'm sure I missed a lot, help me add to it.

also consider making your own line of exclusive perfumes. easy to manufacture now, lots of small players are entering that industry and doing very well. because of their small production runs, the perfumes sell for a high premium in boutiques. i've got an idea for two, including the domains/marketing concept, so we should talk. check out google for the story on the entrepreneur who invented the cologne: MONEY
