I can't stand people who sell domains.
 

Well not everyone, the small guy with the ok domains who post on here are usually easy to deal with.

The people who auction decent names, $1,000+++ 9 out of 10 times it is worse then dealing with used car salesmen. These people, and their dumb ass "apprasials" always think their domains are worth about 10x more then what they are.

I love the " make me an offer" and you reply back with a fair offer, say $10,000 and they tell you " you are crazy, i have someone offering me $200,000" and you lknow they are full of shit. And the assholes who run auctions and close them early. The people who agree to sell to you then cancel last minute. Jesus, no wonder i keep buying $10 domain names from the register.

I have never dealt with a more deceptive, lieing, pain in the ass, ignorant group of people.... domain sellers (in general) are whole nother breeed.

And i am not just talking ebay, damn there is a lot of idiots on there trying to sell shit for crazy prices, but even some of the guys who do this for a living. I never forget an idiot i tried to buy bourbonstreet.com from 2 years ago. He had it on auction, i was high bidder at 13,000. he said no thanks, business.com (or something like that) sold for 10,000,000 so he should get at least 7 figures! That he would sell it to a hotel on bourbon, etc. So much for that idea, Look what he is doing with the domain . www.bourbonstreet.com what a moron.

I hate these guys... i might be a little off base but i am being honest.

I agree.... its like Klondike - lots of scammers, lots of dreaming idiots and 0.01% who actually make any big figures.

some domainers are idiots and some are not.

shit don't even get me started on the ones that buy up like half the internet.

idiots buy 50,000 domains and sell just enough to pay for all those registrations... so they make a few buch and tie up just about ever name that makes sense out there. good job!

Agreed!

Speaking of which, I have some domains for sale :1orglaugh

The craziest thing is... "This domain has so much potential. If it was developed it would be worth tons." Yep, so would qwertywashere.com. What is the point? You are selling the current stream of type ins or the ease of the name. Sorry you do not get a big bite of what I want to do with it because I am a nice guy.

I dont remember who it was, but he told us here about his noob friend who wanted to get into the domain biz. Anyways, he gave him some help, and about two weeks later his friend came back saying;

Heyyyyy! I got this 50k worth domain yesterday. Its incredible!!!!

- So which one is it says his friend.

Its frequencymodulationradio.com, same as fmradio.com

:1orglaugh

Domain sellers are nice if you can't come up with a nice name for your site yourself :) But beside that they are asking way too high prices.

I agree that a lot of people are asking way too much for what they got

99% of these people are tards looking to rip people off, in my book they are worse then spammers

They are good when you cant find a domain for your site ? You can't find a domain for your site because they bought them all lol ;)


Like i said (most) are worse then used car salesmen. IMO


I'm feeling the love in this thread - Yeah Baby :thumbsup actually thought i was going to get flammed.

remind me of that guy... what's his name.... he's been trying to sell locallove and some other shitty domain for 70k lol I'm sure he's still trying to get rid of it.

Just like sellers, there's also a wide range of buyers. There's the buyer like some of you who couldn't see the real value of a good domain name if it hit you between the eyes. Hell, you'd miss it if it kept bashing your head in.

The good domains you might be talking about, on bourbonstreet.com level for example at least, are worth a great amount to the right buyer.. just like real estate. The domain owner had some foresight to locate and purchase some property before you did because he saw value in it for investment purposes or future development purposes. Some are quick to develop, and others don't for one reason or another. Not all names are worth only what current traffic or revenue brings. The seller would be an IDIOT to sell you a good name cheap just because it's not currently getting a lot of traffic or earning a lot. I've paid $10,000+ for names many times that weren't earning anything at all, or didn't receive more than 20 visitors per day.

Granted, many have big dreams for their little plot like some of the other examples given in this thread.

I put all my domains on Ebay with a start bid of $9.99.
This week I have DigaStar.com

Its true, most domainers are just idiots dreaming away.

I hear ya


if there is a domain I really like and its some guy wanting a bullshit price for it.. I just search for very similar domains and pay 15 bucks on directnic....


Usually I can find something so close it would not have been worth paying the extra 1000 to 3000 extra.

i agree some people sell their domains so pricy but hey i guess if somebody buys it aint that bd

i sale short domains!

Fact is that there are enough fools that are impressed by these idiots and as long as these guys succeed to sell , it wont stop .
If you want my option , any domain above 5 letters with a name that is not in the english vocabulary - doesn't worth the $5 registration fee , except few exceptions .

I would have to agree, many domainers operate with "There is a sucker born every minute" in mind... especially on here, where idiots try to sell domains that are not even worth the registration fee for $1k+...

Well,

I like the seller theory: this is a great domain, if you invest in it you will get back a lot of money.

Hell yea!, if I put 1 mil in advertising I get okasdfgo.com to rock in any domain I want, just common brand building ;).

Domains are brands - they can be built from ground using money and/or marketing so the 'it has potential' bullshit does not fly. The same would be to sell land in the middle of the desert. It has potential - all you need to do is build a highway and some casino's and you have the new Vegas! The only problem is that now it is in the middle of the fucken desert!

Yes, the entrance fee is low, and that means there are alot of scammers and kids in the domain business.

The worst are the cybersquatters who register domain names containing famous, registered, and distinctive trademarks. These thieves bring the heat down on all domainers and drive up all our legal costs.

lol :winkwink:

That is a domain seller's moto. lol. " every domain name is worth a lot to t he right buyer". So they mark up the domain up 100x hoping the right idiot, err i mean buyer comes along. How many times does that happen ?

it's not really like realestate, unless if you trying to sell land on a toxic waste dump that can't be built on for 100 years. But i am sure there is the "right buyer " for that too.

I love the post on here too.

Someone selling domain, say " wetfreshteens.com " and they want $1000 for it and you get your standard " :thumbsup great domain" and " good luck on your sale" shit etc... harmless enough.

But what drives me crazy is when people start saying, great deal.... that is worth it, etc.. and the seller gets all pumped up, So you offer him $100 and he is like no way, it's worth 1000 and yet not one of those fools who pumped him up have 1,000 to their name muchless will they buy it. and then the thread usually dies out with the seller saying " still taking offers" " come on guys no one contacting me, it's still for sale" " this is a steal for 1000 bump for me" " hey this is still for sale why is no one buying " etc....

Classic.

There are morons on both sides, trust me.

I'll sell you thebestdomainonthewholeinternet.com for $100 000.. I promise that I will make it very hard for you to buy it and it will take at least 8 months before anything gets done.. By that time I will have spent all the money in a new foreign country that I moved to in order to hide.. Deal? lol

Well I understand your frustrations. But if a domain is paying for itself then there is no real reason to sell it unless the right offer comes along. My entire portfolio pays for itself and then some so Im not about to get low balled by anyone. Im in no hurry to sell. I'll sit on these things for the next 20 years if they keep making me money.

I can hook you up with the guy that sells *************** for $120 000 or so

This thread, much like Monica Lewinsky, blows.

hes been trying to sell that for like 10 years now

I can hook you up with a guy that sells Maritalaids.com for xx.xxx usd. Imagine that - marital + aids .com - its almost as good as sextoys.com

yo dude


We have domain names for sale np and they're cheap. just trying to get rid of them...hit me up or go to http://www.2much.net/domains-for-sale.html and shit will happen...

Most of those guys are brokers, and don't have a pot to piss in, they are just trying to rake in a 10% commission. They are also the vultures going around here offering $10 for $30,000 domains, one tried giving me a lame phoney TGP for a $20,00 domain and tried playing it off.. Halirious.. They don't have no cash or game, they are just holding out to make a bonus.. which most of the time never happens... They are just dreamers who have a list of what $ will be accepted for a certain name...

I saw that you found some reta... err, some buyers for those domains. Good luck and I hope you sell them all!

Egomancer

4play4free.com $16,000 ?? that doesnt seem that much better then sexshow4u.com which you are asking $500 for.

how do you deterime these values?

some reta? whussat?

Thats true, I guess from the intial stages of talking to these people i really dont know if they actually own the domains or if they are trying to sell them for someone else.

Actually good question... never thought about it - want an answer orwhat?

he was saying retard.. but stoped short.
