only get it appraised if you trust the company/people. but it's not necessary. sometimes appraisals are not even worth a penny. appraise it yourself. if you want to make 10/100/1000 times what you paid for it, then don't accept less. :)

WARNING:
if a buyer "requires" you to get an appraisal, DON'T. they are usually working with the companies they recommend and not interested in buying your domain name, just selling worthless appraisals.

Taboo, giving you the exclusive right here:

Erections.com went for $18k. Chris Chena and I had gone partners on this, and had worked for a month trying to convince the drug companies to buy big.

Pfizer, Elli Lilly and Bayer all had serious interest, even to point of having political infighting between the executive level, the brand managers and the ad agencies that handle their erection drugs.

Ultimately, all backed away from the name because of sensitivity around the name, despite the fact that what they sell is "erections" and what they bid on in Google and Overture is "erections" LOL

Long, boring story.

Anyway, there's a bigger story coming with them and us, but in the meantime, we did pretty good for a name with fairly low traffic (but lucrative niche).



:drinkup

Congrats on the sale DomBuyer. :thumbsup

Once again congrats. Good story too. They are crazy... they are selling BONERS but afraid of owning Erections.com - LOL.

Is DNJ going to have full story tonight?

Glad I'm getting some insight into the mainstream sex industry :) because I think I may have similar problems with companies next year with my newly acquired domain "SexPatch.com"... P&G's new patch (intrinsa) just got approved and on fast track to market. I just bought the name yesterday from Afternic/BuyDomains.


Sex Patch Revs Menopausal Women
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/...in650177.shtml

MSNBC - Female sex patch effective in trial, says P&G
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/5222841/

Chicago Tribune | Sex patch may lift low hormone levels
http://www.chicagotribune.com/featur...ewomannews-hed

I'm hoping to generate lots of traffic to it, but I think I will make more money selling a patch to wean women off the "sex patch". :1orglaugh

VOX... email me. trying to contact you. :)

BeachGirls.com: just sold at............

can't say right now, but the gfy thread pretty much tells the story pretty much.

:glugglug

Taboo, yes, Duke has the scoop on erections.com

congrats on beachgirls.com

$6 or $7K?

I was considering bidding at 5K but just bought too many adult domains during 3 day shopping spree and still have big auctions closing at pool. :( :)

can't wait to read DNJ tonight for the scoop...

Last week I bought JuegosEroticos.com (erotic games) for 2300 U$S, it has 300-420 daily type-ins, I think it's a very good name.

I am always interested in buying spanish domains, so, if you are in the mood, email me at [email protected] to discuss about your spanish names. :thumbsup

A bunch of 4 digit dot coms dropping recently, seems that prices are coming down a bit now. The ones starting with "0" didn't get much interest at Enom.

* I said I was done acquiring these, but I recently traded some of mine off in exchange for some 3-digit domains. :winkwink: So I may be in the market for a few more. :1orglaugh

DomBuyer sold a domain name for me this week. He's money - like me. :glugglug :evil-laug

Thanks again DB.

:stoned Really what was this person thinking !!!

firehotquotes.com - alexa rating 274,388

i have gerizon.com :)

I think the Alexa ranking (which isn't the best indicator anyway) you are seeing factors in stats before the site started redirecting to firehotquotes.bolt.com - which is much higher ranked.

Thanks Taboo.

Buyer has asked me to keep this one quiet.

anyone else watching the body.net drop today? (11/19)

pre-bids at:
enom: $1200
namewinner: $28,900

wow.

on another note:
check out the brand new owners of melon.com
they didn't waste any time. :)

100 Sold Domains

Looks like Enom caught body.net. Should be fun to watch this one. High bid is at $1,500. :)

Melon.com site looks great. :thumbsup

excellent!

So, I'm in the pool drop auction for AuctionLink.com...

only 2 bidders and I stop bidding at $1,777.00

well, supposedly only 2 people allowed and yet a "new" bidder enters the auction. WTF? now the bidding is at $2,850.00.

but makes no sense whatsoever.

truly very weird.

only supposed to be 2 people, right? are they allowing 3 now? did I miss the memo? :)

I'm not accusing POOL of raising bids... just very strange. anyone else see this with their auctions?

now at $3,600

wtf?

SOLD @ POOL
auctionlink.com $7,500


I picked up a few including blogporn.com, blogsyndication.com, espider.com, gaydiaries.com, and a domain I've offered to buy and waited a YEAR for it to drop: MUSICBUZZ.com (finally)

melon.com looks great but I have no idea what's that site about :(

owned by SK TELECOM, one of the largest companies in Korea.
it is their Music download service and the nexus of their new mobile telecom / content / p2p / entertainment / blogging network. They are doing what I could only imagine: turning Melon into a global brand by combining the best of Apple, Orange and much more. I'm in the process of presenting them more domains for sale. http://www.sktelecom.com/eng/index.html

if the high bidder on enom can find the high bidder on namewinner (if not same person) they'd have a healthy profit margin. :)
