Buying A Big Name Domain ? Like Cams.com - GoFuckYourself.com

Platinum Doug · 02-03-2005, 08:17 AM

?All domains are a dime a dozen.? ? Legendary Lars

I?d agree with this statement. $10 and you have your own digital homestead. But how much do you pay for the perfect domain? It has to be worth more than $10, right??

Lets take the example of Cams.com. It is the perfect domain for the right company backed by the perfect marketing strategy. Enter Legendary Lars. He recently purchased the big-ticket domain in a heated auction where he was forced to big against his peers. He had to determine its value before shelling out the crazy bucks, but how did he do it? If you?re interested in hearing what went on behind the scenes with Lars and the recent Cams.com acquisition and his advice for those looking to make a big name purchase, you can check it:

How much does a good-sized house in Cali go for these days?

Platinum Dave · 02-03-2005, 09:02 AM

Wasnt the domain on EBAY for a few days.... Then got pulled.

This domain is perfect for LARS, one of the Top if not #1 Live Cams company out there.

Webcam Guru · 02-03-2005, 10:44 AM

Cams.com was for sale for $16K back in 2000. I didn't have the money back then but I knew it was a very good deal.

Platinum Doug · 02-03-2005, 10:55 AM

16k? I wonder if that was nearer to Lensmans first offer before opening it up to the rest? Still, 800k seems a bit high . . . Can't you get a good sized house for 400 or 500k in Cali??

Elli · 02-03-2005, 11:06 AM

Awesome article! Woot Lars rocks

Fake Nick · 02-03-2005, 11:07 AM

800k is not much for that domain

Xenophage · 02-03-2005, 11:21 AM

sweet did not see this sorry for my second thread...

thanks again for the great article.

Taboo · 02-03-2005, 11:32 AM

keep in mind, the 800K price tag being floated around is all speculation generated from this thread...

I was allowed to buy-in, but unfortunately my sale of melon.com happened around Thanksgiving, after the doors were closed for new bidders.

oh well, at least LARS allows co-branding. LOL.

DaddyHalbucks · 02-03-2005, 11:32 AM

Last I heard, an average house in Silicon Valley sells for $640,000.

So, at what price does a "good sized" house sell? Obviously more. Maybe $800,000. Maybe a mil. It depends on your definition of "good sized." My guess is that a mil is a safe estimate for a good sized house.

It's a very very good domain name. Easily worth a California house. Even a good sized house.

If you didn't hear the story about the time he shared a room with Platinum Adam, well, lets just say Cams.com could have made some good money covering THAT trip!

JFK · 02-03-2005, 03:53 PM

Nice Interwiew Lars................ I see you have another special for this month

"in February we?re offering $70 per sign-up for Cams.com. We?ve been doing promos for the last three months and it?s been fantastic, so we?re just keeping the ball rolling."
