24hr Domain Auction: VIPLounge.com NR
 

I've owned this name for years now. Just realized right now that I don't even have it online, so it's impossible for me to know how many type-ins it's getting. Our new review site is doing well, and wanted to raise some advertising dollars to give it a boost. I'll also be donating 20% of the proceeds to one of the following charities:

-Free Speech Coation - http://www.freespeechcoalition.com/
-IMPA : http://www.impai.org/
-Patent Fight (Homegrown/Spike)??

The buyer will get to choose where that donation will go.

Domain: VIPLounge.com
Type-Ins: Unknown (probably under 100/day)
Minimum Bid: None
Value: ?? (TBD)
Branding: Cam Network, Mega-Site, Webmaster Resources.. almost anything.

If you'd like to bid, simply post the dollar amount. The auction will end at 5pm est. tomorrow (thursday), not a minute later. So the highest bid up until exactly 5:00pm est. (5:01 is too late), will win the domain name. Payment can be made via wire or paypal.

No e-mail, icq bids... all bids must be made in this thread. Good luck!

p.s. If I've missed anything (rules, etc.), I'll make a follow-up post in this thread. If you have any questions, e-mail me, rick at ranks.com.

All guys with low post count bidding ........................................... :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

it's rick, from the old ynot days. good luck with the sale, and nice donation idea.

:thumbsup

Thanks to George for bringing this to my attention.

Since the board doesn't put a tag on edited messages, I have to change the rules on how the auction ends. Otherwise bidders could edit their final bids without anyway noticing.

Rule Change:
The auction will continue after 5pm eastern time until there are no bids during a 5 minute period. So technically, if there are no bids after 5pm, it will end at 5:05pm. If there is a bid at 5:01, a bid can be made until 5:06, but 5:07 would be too late (just to be clear).

This is good and bad... bidders will have a fair shot to make a high bid, but the bidding will extend for an unpredictable amount of time. I don't have much of a choice though. Hopefully this will be the only rule change necessary, but please view future pages just in case.

Thanks,
Rick

It's me. :) Low post count and all... lol

Wasup Mike!! Congrats on all your success bro.

Checkout: http://www.shortdomains.com , let me know if there's any names that might interest you. Use the e-mail on the site, and I'll reply to it myself. All the best.

Thats a pretty good domain name.


:thumbsup

20 min. left (plus bidding extension)... good luck!

$1,700 :ak47:

I down bid it to $100.

Current high bid is $1700. If there are no other bids in the next 5 minutes (until 5:05 est.) , then the auction is closed. That would be a steal!! :)

I think I already won. :thumbsup

I placed the bid at 4:54 pm (intentionally), so the auto-extension didn't apply, as there were no bids in the final 5 mins.

"The auction will continue after 5pm eastern time until there are no bids during a 5 minute period. So technically, if there are no bids after 5pm, it will end at 5:05pm."

This meant the 5 min. begins after 5pm... regardless of when the bids were placed beforehand. I'm sorry for any confusion...

doesn't look like it'll matter though :)

Yes, a moot point now. :thumbsup

If you email me with Paypal nfo, I'll send you funds immediately.

Not bad for a low post count GFYer. :2 cents:

You're good George! Thanks for bidding, and hope you make a lot of money off the domain!

Let me know what charity you'd like the 20% to be donated to. You know how to get in touch with me.

This was a fun little auction/experiement. Good to see the results.

Oh, for the charity stuff, you can split the 20% donation among the 2 charities (I don't have a real preference).

Thanks for a quick and smooth transaction. It was a pleasure dealing with a true pro. :thumbsup

If anyone has other names for sale, feel free to email me.

Thanks again George.

I sent the donation for $170 off to IMPA, and am awaiting to hear back from Free Speech Coalition on how to donate the other $170. Enjoy the domain!

ahh crap, I wanted this domain, I'll give $2k George :thumbsup

It's nice to see you here, Rick--you're one of the GOOD guys in this world!

You're also an inspiration for me to think about unloading some of my 300+ adult domains someday:-)
