Elequa, the playboy with a lot of cash, but sometimes not much buying sense, was twice offered the name, but said it wasn't "worth it". That made me laugh.
The name was also posted on domainstate.com, and had hundreds of page views by lots of "players". The owner of dnforum, known for buying big names, contacted me, but also passed on the price.
Shall I continue? Why don't I?
In fact, prior to closing escrow, I preoffered the name to ten select people, some of the biggest "players" in the domain game. None of them were within $5k of the buy it now price. Hey, maybe they had their reasons.
Still.
I'm not here to embarass or hate unlike some of you, just pointing out that time and again when it come down to ponying up, most "players" in the domain trade are extremely conservative about spending money. People push out the three dollar press releases and talk about $1 million domain sales--and god bless 'em if they can pull it off--but amazingly when it comes down to actually buying really good names, very few "players" actually take big risks on domain names.

You try to sell to other domain "players", but you never thought to contact ANYONE in the "music" industry? :1orglaugh What if you had pushed out your own $3 press release asking for music industry partners, etc? Hmmm, $3, maybe could've turned that into 7 figures for yourself. But that's too much trouble and brainpower. Why do you think people issue press releases? LOL. Why sell the name for so cheap, when you could have issued a PR and sold "slices" of it. :)

Yes, Taboo did dive in earlier to tell me what a fool I was for selling so cheap, but failed to actually come up with the $25k to put his five dollar words into action. Hmm, never seen that before in the domain game....
....Until then, you can all run your mouth like Taboo. Money talks, bullshit walks.

I advised you to TARGET your suitors by picking up the PHONE before you flipped something so valuable to un-targeted buyers. I didn't fail to come up with the money... I just chose not to do business with you, this time. Plenty of domains out there. Just because people don't buy from you, doesn't mean people aren't buying! I'm still on my buying spree... Melon.com, Morale.com, AdvertiseHere.com (you probably can't understand why I bought this, right?)... In fact, my "bullshit" rant was positive for your domain, it may have helped you sell the domain quicker, moron. instead, you talk down about KRL (men.com) and Elequa/FMA (ai.com,February.com,July.com,etc..) because they also didn't buy it from you... all you do is prove yourself a rookie.

Next time I offer one up, I'll give you each a chance to pre-buy it, get on my short list, so to speak. Send me an email. There's not enough respect on this board. Way too much bullshitting and slagging. Life is too precious.

Any luck DUMPING Asteroids.com? even after your price drop? LOL.

god, that name is so good, you're right, I'm still blushing. But why do you need AVM to give us a "rundown", can't you? Oh, that's right... you don't have time for bull-shitters and slaggers. And yet you have no problem coming to gfy to SPAM your domain sales? :) I only told you to broaden your horizons, but you choose to unload domains by spamming domain message boards for 5 figure sales, when you don't understand the simple concept of flipping a domain to a targeted buyer. but i don't blame you for hating me, we're just different... best example is: you thought gray.com sucked. :1orglaugh at this rate, you'll always be an also-ran. learn to look beyond selling domains to people that compete with you and focus on marketing them to the companies that want to dominate their industry. Sell category-killer domains to GIANTS of the industry. why? because even if they HATE your domain name, they will buy it to make sure their competitor doesn't buy it. Offer the domain for twice what you think they'll pay, then while they're fighting for it, slash the price in half for whoever buys it immediately. done deal. But since something like that takes more than 24 hours to flip (sometimes even 24 months), I guess it's too much trouble/work for you. |
