KRL - I believe I somewhat get "it", "it" being the domain industry.

However I agree with pimporn here, and with most webmasters for that matter - $4.3 million is pushing the envelope here. I don't think anyone is on the outside looking in, and or a "inferior" domainer, simply because they feel the purchase price is a bit inflated.

Seven figures seems justified, but no more then $2 million in my opinion. Unless of course, you're a wireless provider. In that case, small feed.

I would guess that if you can resell it to a wireless provider for more.. you win.. if you can't.. ouch..

The background on this domain is supposedly it was set to be purchased by a dotcom for high 7 figs that went bellyup during the dotcom bust. There's also some questions about wether or not the shareholders would still have rights to it or not. Its got a messy background. But for a major telecom it's worth 7 figs.

If you are implying I don't get "it", I do in fact get "it". What I don't get is why somebody with 39 feedbacks, whose last item they sold was a broken shit ass laptop for $58, is gonna fork over 4.3M for wireless.com. Unless the guy bidding against him with zero feedback is gonna pay it, the same guy that kept outbidding himself.

That domain is worth 7 figures but I smell something fishy here.

MrIzzz · 01-23-2005, 11:47 PM

if i was to buy it for 4.5 million does that mean i have to leave good feedback to the seller?

paxton · 01-23-2005, 11:57 PM

You would think for such a premium name, that this seller (or broker) would be able to find someone to format HTML for an eBay listing.

Maybe even come up with a better marketing pitch than "Remember there is only one Wireless.com and when its gone its gone!"

Anyway... who wants to take bets on which bidders are real and which ones are insiders?

God I wish I had it together to buy that bitch... Leasing it out alone would pay itself off easily. But a moron with too much money and not enough sense can drive it into the ground just as well.

What would you do with it if you leased it and what do you supposed a 4 million dollar domain would cost to lease a month?

To give you a guys a little insight into the domain industry, the traffic this name derives alone (could easily be 100,000 uniques/day), can justify the current bids... Tons of money can be made from monetizing on traffic.

my 2 cents.

in case you idiot trolls think it's fake - If i could get wireless.com for a million dollars I've have the money in the sellors' hand in less than a couple of days. (done properly of course, but finding a millon or more for a url like that wouldn't NOT be difficult)

Hey! You'd be surprised, selling those designer Gucci/Diesel shirts. The metrosexuals on this board alone, as his customers could buy wireless.com in 14x monthly revenue.

and xerox let go of the PC

corps aren't that smart and their executives certainly dont trawl ebay for domains

i agree though a company like vodafone could snap it up easily assuming they had the forsight, which begs the question why haven't they yet ?
