Unreal. Seriously unreal.

All the dollar store owners starting bidding to get an edge on their competitors.

It's called free publicity for a fledgling startup. I thought you were an expert in such things

Seriously, though, of the dead 'i' names, that's a pretty good one. Worth the price for branding purposes.

If they plan on doing TV or Radio this name is worth it, just for online marketing its a waste.

You never know why they are and what they are alocating to market this, someone should pickup iflights.com if they end up doing anything large scale youll get good traffic

Actually, your reaction shows you don't understand domain value.

Fly.com is worth, what, $1million +/-

Why? Three letters, huge business, tons of type-ins, yada yada. Incredibly brandable, memorable.

Now, KRL, go check the OVT's on ifly.com and tell me it's not worth at least ten percent of fly.com, ie $100k, (assuming a traffic test to confirm) on traffic alone, never mind branding.

Class dismissed

I'm sorry but fly.com and Ifly.com are not comparable.

I said ifly is 10% of fly.com--that's not 'comparable'.

KRL, maybe you and I could work out a system where after you routinely pass on such names, you could send them to me, and I could pay you a commission when you pass on them. I'm serious.

Well golly gee, I'm clearly not as smart as you are then. Maybe I should pay you to tutor me.

That's actually very interesting, as it's similar to the mistake of branding a .net and losing traffic to the .com: ifly gets traffic meant for flyi
