Band.com for sale
 
Band.com domain for sale!

Just acquired from long time owner, so haven't confirmed stats yet, but a reported 200+ a day, all type-ins.

Buy it now is $25k. Deal will be done through escrow.com

Won't consider any offer under $15k (have two offers in that range already), and am looking for only one person at $25k, so if you have interest, let me know asap!

That seams like it should be a good name but I'm having a hard time thinking of what I would do with it.

thats a serious domain. hell an unknown band could damn near pull a record deal out of a domain like that if they had decent talent. hope the sale goes well.

An unkown band wouldn't have 25,000. it's a chicken and the egg thing.

ytcracker 08-24-2004 10:46 AM

nice domain name

Basic_man 08-24-2004 10:47 AM

25 000$ ?? It's too fuckin' big !

sextoyking 08-24-2004 10:50 AM

Now I have the song Band on the run in my head :)

I know a few local bands here in georgia that are widely unknown who have spent that on gear, studio time, etc..working towards a record deal. your right, the majority of them would not, but there are a few around who could probably afford it and would do well to try and grab it. hell a decent studio looking to rep them could more than likely afford it and then pick the band they wanted to launch with it. Sometimes its not about the money you have, but the money others are willing to invest in you, you said it yourself, "I invest in smart people with great ideas". Others often do the same.

4Pics 08-24-2004 10:55 AM

great name, but not sure what you'd use it for..

Nysus 08-24-2004 10:55 AM

Band.com - Resource listing for band camps?

"One time at band camp I stuck ..."

Actually, if you look at the more than 48 million references to "band" in Google, a huge proportion of them are individual band sites. Not my bag to develop, but even if you created a master site of indie bands with sub domains (megaband.band.com etc) you could have something wicked.

"Go to band.com to find your favourite band!"

Then you could take a cut of the sales, either MP3's or the actual CD's/merch etc. 10,000/50,000 indie bands, all consolidated under one roof.

Not my thing to develop, but lots of opportunity here.

Capital prophets have their own 75k $ studio and some escalades ... and they aren't widely known . You could be surprised sometimes :P

Reak 08-24-2004 11:08 AM

very intresting thread, i cant wait to see some more replies from rick :thumbsup

Luc 08-24-2004 11:44 AM

great name.

$15k bid here. probably worth more if i could figure out
what to use it for.

ppc on it won't make much, but maybe as a fan site for
bands or forum or something.

good luck with the sale, icq me if you want to sell for that
price.

wdsguy 08-24-2004 11:46 AM

gluck with it, pretty good name

Muff 08-24-2004 11:50 AM

That's a nice name.

Someone with music industry contacts could turn that into a Connect.com / Itunes.com style site.

Muff 08-24-2004 11:51 AM

Or you could start your own online rubber band selling site :1orglaugh

Thanks for the offer.

Confirming bids around asking.

Don't know a few people, so please get your bids in. Priority will go to people who identify themselves and payment terms.

DomBuyer 08-24-2004 04:01 PM

Last call: name will be sold tonight.

$23k is current legit high bid by known player. Parties still active.

$25k buy it now still applies, open to $24k best.

Believe me, there's still a part of me that thinks I should hold out for the big money, and $25k would be a disappointment. Given that something as lousy as gray.com just sold for $30k, and Spanish.com is about to be announced at approx $150k, etc etc., it's not such an easy decision.

beemk 08-24-2004 04:13 PM

sell it to puff daddy

Hell that was my first thought too, considering he wants to launch a band a year with his take over of making the band this would be really worth a lot to him.

bdld 08-24-2004 07:05 PM

too bad 'da band' was dismantled last year.

jwerd 08-24-2004 07:14 PM

I almost shit myself. The mouse was covering up the K. LOL But nice deal man :)

fr8 08-24-2004 08:47 PM

That the best domain that I have seen on here in a while. Good luck with the sell.

Good luck DomBuyer. :thumbsup
