$7000 for a domain down the drain
 

...just read an old email from about 4 years ago, from someone that wanted to buy a domain from me for $7000 - it was legit.

somehow I didn't notice the email, and the domain expired last year.

:-(

go me!

So of course I'm gonna ask...what was the domain?

Money is over rated

It was a domain that matched a persons name. And that person wanted it. I totally forgot that I even had it.

Thanks for letting us know :pimp

Sucks! I wanted to buy a domain off this guy a while ago for $500 but he never responded. Few weeks later I get the email from godaddy that the $15 backorder was processed hahaha

pussy lips

Keep hold of his email, you might be able to sell him a "Brand New TGP"

was the domain re-registered?

yes tell us the domain name :)

Well done you.

$7000 thats money :)

$7000 Money order from Nigeria:winkwink:

No it was a real person, I knew them personally, and it was legit, and I let the domain expire because I was a dumbass.

This same person owns the domain now, for free.

So you knew this guy on a personal level and wouldn't give them their own name's domain?

What's with that?

I was about to complete a $500 transaction for a name through escrow (so say $570 all inclusive). I got distracted and never completed it.

Backorder completed 3 months later for $69.

Let me say that "I knew he was a real person". We weren't friends.

So of course I'm gonna ask...what was the domain?

what a great business man you are! can you give me some pointers ?

Hardcore

NICE, he could'nt afford it :1orglaugh

too bad man.

Maybe you and mr maxwell could team up and give seminars ... ?

Same thing happened to me but reversed. I offered a woman $2500 for a domain and she replied "No thanks, Im going to work on the site." A year later I got it from Snapnames for $70. :thumbsup
