Reserve still hasn't been met

teksonline · 03-25-2005, 08:17 PM

Of course not because its a promotional thing.

Reserve is set at millions, like everyone else does

Hmm, Decent analogy

shuki · 03-25-2005, 08:18 PM

over $37K now

xfalmp · 03-25-2005, 08:18 PM

Damn, it's $37k already... it's going up fast.

AdPatron · 03-25-2005, 08:19 PM

Damn.

shuki · 03-25-2005, 08:19 PM

I wonder what the reserve is at?

teksonline · 03-25-2005, 08:20 PM

was it ever a site? I find that more halirous then anything, sell it for a million, but the 5 million you lost from having nothing on the domain in the past year or whatever hehehe thats the real laugh

shuki · 03-25-2005, 08:21 PM

lots of time on this one too

xfalmp · 03-25-2005, 08:24 PM

Kinda... I remember they taking submissions but I never really noticed any traffic.

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 03-25-2005, 08:28 PM

37K thats pretty insulting for a 3 letter and known acrynym in the adult sector.
SHould hit 100k Easily.

tungsten · 03-25-2005, 08:29 PM

its a worthy domain

detoxed · 03-25-2005, 08:53 PM

I'm guessing the bidding will get a lot tighter in the last 12 hours of the auction, I wouldnt bother watching it until then.

The type in traffic wouldn't be worth anything close to 5 million, or even the 37 thousand the bidding is up to for that matter. To make that domain worthwhile you'd have to develop it.

Sorry dude but that's the stupidest thing I've heard in some time. Explain to us how just anyone would become a millionaire with this domain? Do you have any concept of what type in traffic is worth? Go ahead and explain your thought to me, I'm very interested in hearing it. Maybe a half dozen TGPs have ever made a million dollars, tell us how this domain will make someone an instant millionaire no matter what they do with domain. Then explain why you're not jumping at the under 50k price tag.

Some people have said that kind of stuff about some good domains (non type-ins but very marketable) that I own... and I haven't done shit with them in over 5 years now. They just sit there with a trickle of 50 uniques a day. LOL I'd like someone to show me how to do it actually, that's what I'd really like. I've never really had a mentor in the traffic world.

<-- sad

Chimmy · 03-26-2005, 12:22 AM

Unbelievable...

Ask any surfer what a tgp is, and they will return a dumbfounded look...accompanied by the word..huh? Now, if the domain was called "collection of free pics where I can jerk off.com", well then you might be talking their language.

And a quick check on Alexia shows this site to be rated somewhere around 1.3 million. Sorry, but my grandmother's scrapbooking site get's better traffic then that.

And to those of you who are actually bidding---Please call a friend..call your parents..ask the studio audience. In fact, do anything that might stop you from doing something really really stupid!

ok, your right. anyone who gets this name won't make shit off it.

cmon man, how can you not make money on tgp.com?

SleazyDream · 03-26-2005, 01:42 AM

there is some value to the name.

there isn't a million dollars in value to the name

no, but you can build a business on it and make it worth a million a couple years

adultguus · 03-26-2005, 01:55 AM

Take a look at archive.org. The domain was never really developed. The last 2 years it had a under construction page on it.

In my opinion the domain isn't worth more than any other 3 letter DOT com. I really doubt, like others here, if the majority of the surfers know what a tgp is. I know for sure that I didn't know that before I started in adult (and that was only a year ago). I had never heard of it. I don't see anybody making money of this domain more easy then of any other domain. But of course I can be wrong. Bidding more than something like $10k is a big mistake imho.

Of course, this name has potential. Of course, someone could build a business on it and make a fortune if they do it right, the same is true of any domain. However, just because you have this domain, doesn't mean you'll turn it into an million dollar empire overnight. You still need a great business plan, money to back it up, a huge amount of know how and some luck to turn a TGP into a million dollar business. You're correct, I am right.

Just always assume that I am.

DarkJedi · 03-26-2005, 03:59 AM

Yep exactly - it can't be a surfer site, only an adultwebmaster site. So you'd probably do better spending the cash advertising a brandable domain on GFY

Marc De · 03-26-2005, 09:14 AM

I just bid $75,000 to see if it would meet the reserve, nope! I don't really want the domain but man... I don't think its legit either.

Wouldn't surprise me if the reserve is at $250k+

MrVids · 03-26-2005, 12:19 PM

75 fucking grand?

that's rediculous

think of the audience, anyone who really knows what TGP means is going to be all about free porn...

of course... that's still traffic, which will click on links, which will in turn earn you traffic from other tgp's... probably instant bookmarkers/type-ins...

i capped out at 25k, the rest is lunacy. you have to have $ burning a hole in your pocket for that.

I'll throw in i-love-you.com for 10% of the sale price. HAHAHAHA, SUCKERS!

word.

I'd have bought it for a max of 20 grands, but 75k+? no matter how brandable, I'd buy sagsadhjg.com for 8 bucks and then 30-40k of HQ traffic and there's no fucking way TGP.com would make a better return, fucking impossible. Anyway, I'm sure the 75k bid is as fake as the auction itself
