Where are all these dipshits when *I* want to sell a domain for millions of dollars?

AWW - Kevin · 12-05-2002, 09:06 AM

wow dotnology.com went for only $2.500.000

Lensman · 12-05-2002, 09:42 AM

eshow.com?

cherrylula · 12-05-2002, 09:46 AM

damn i'd kill for drugs.com

Pornwolf · 12-05-2002, 09:54 AM

Hahaha I was thinking the same thing Kevin.

Somebody must have had some REALLY big plans for that stupid domain.

asSeenontv.com sold n 2000 for 5 million?

KRL · 12-05-2002, 10:03 AM

One of my partners bid on drugs.com and he had a higher bid sent in then what it sold for but bid missed the closing by a couple minutes and the other guy got it. That was a good one though.

I think that's because the guys that have the really big domains will never let go of them. The asking prices would be astronomical.

That registrar for the .tv tld's was asking $1 million to register Sex.tv and someone went for it.

MetaformX · 12-05-2002, 03:43 PM

You know what the next biggest domain sale will be?
rebills.com
;-)
who wants to buy it off of me?

UncleJimmy · 12-05-2002, 03:44 PM

I disagree 12clicks....

it's still similar to the concept of real estate, they only made one

Penslyvania 1600, and there is only one business.com

in time , maybe a Lonnnnng time LOL, those decent domains people might be holding onto will be worth more than they paid for

Unlesss, by then there is a completely new naming style/system all toghether, ala realnames, etc....

I remember that there was a pool of (by then) big webmasters at Ynot or hahahahahahaha trying to collect money to bid for drugs.com. Does anybody else remember that and what eventually happened? I only know that, obviously, they didn´t get the domain, but I wonder how much they managed to collect.

Also, from the old days, I remember that Webfather paid $50k for porn.com

Added: Sorry, I didn´t know I couldn´t mention the other board.

Brian911 · 12-05-2002, 04:50 PM

remember pichunter is just behind santas.com with $250k

Not that I ever want to be caught agreeing with 12clicks, but exactly how many years before dotnology.com would be worth 2.5 million again? I buy a lot of domains, but wouldn't have ever thought to buy that one - even if it was brought to my attention. If it expired - I wouldn't pay $10 for it. I ca't believe someone paid money for that. I think it must be a typo or something - it is a parked domain.

There are a LOT of domains that simply aren't worth the registration fee. Domains expire every day - if you check them out - you will see people were asking thousands for them, now they aren't worth $10 to renew.

There was a time were people were getting huge amounts of money for domains that would never be profitable - just as there were companies with billion dollar market caps that couldn't even be expected to make $1,000,000 in sales - much less profit.

Domains AREN'T like real estate. There is only so much land, but there are almost an infinite amount of domains. 99.99% of them aren't worth $1.00.

that's the truth ...

as far as what it might be worth today ... the judgement against the guy whole stole it was $60M, including the mansion we will be partying at Saturday night in San Diego

antigravityboy · 12-05-2002, 09:19 PM

Beauty.cc ??
Why would somebody pay so much for a .cc domain?

ColKurtz · 12-05-2002, 09:23 PM

I think the deal with beauty.cc was the owner of .cc bought it to make it appear that .cc was a hot commodity.

12-05-2002, 09:25 PM

1stbandwidth.com = $800,000?

I wonder how much I could get for 2ndbandwidth.com, or maybe 3rdbandwidth.com?

Unbelievable!

UncleJimmy · 12-05-2002, 09:28 PM

Chris, I 'want' to agree with you

but I can kinda hear my great grandfather thinking the same thing when he sold that 2 story house on the fucking corner of Hollywood Blvd & Vine St back in the 20s!

altavista.digital.com

Sambuka · 12-06-2002, 02:31 AM

Umm I'd say Sex.com would be worth ohh about US$500 minimum, maybe double that depending on the buyer.

The internet is still growing and its got 650 million users now, wait till it has 1.5 billion and see what those domains are gonna be worth. It can't go much more than 1.5 billion though the rest of the 3.5 billion people are still doing there washing in the rivers.
