Unreal. Seriously unreal.

All the dollar store owners starting bidding to get an edge on their competitors. :1orglaugh

IFly.com for $65,000.

What am I missing????

Can someone enlighten me please.

shit, i'll sell you iusers.com for 64,000 :Graucho

:1orglaugh

It's called free publicity for a fledgling startup. I thought you were an expert in such things :Graucho

Seriously, though, of the dead 'i' names, that's a pretty good one. Worth the price for branding purposes.

I would pay for 99centsstore(s) not for 99cents

I still don't get it. $65K?????

I guess everyone has their own perspective on values these days.

PS - Always have to throw a jab in don't ya?

:1orglaugh

If they plan on doing TV or Radio this name is worth it, just for online marketing its a waste.

You never know why they are and what they are alocating to market this, someone should pickup iflights.com if they end up doing anything large scale youll get good traffic

Actually, your reaction shows you don't understand domain value.

Fly.com is worth, what, $1million +/-

Why? Three letters, huge business, tons of type-ins, yada yada. Incredibly brandable, memorable.

Now, KRL, go check the OVT's on ifly.com and tell me it's not worth at least ten percent of fly.com, ie $100k, (assuming a traffic test to confirm) on traffic alone, never mind branding.

Class dismissed



:glugglug

I'm sorry but fly.com and Ifly.com are not comparable.

Is there money to make in the domain industry? :D

is there money to be made in the real estate business?

Yep

I'm sure it gets a lot of traffic from people looking for http://www.flyi.com/

big new airline in the DC area... lots of advertising

I said ifly is 10% of fly.com--that's not 'comparable'.

KRL, maybe you and I could work out a system where after you routinely pass on such names, you could send them to me, and I could pay you a commission when you pass on them. I'm serious.

:)

Nice

Well golly gee, I'm clearly not as smart as you are then. Maybe I should pay you to tutor me.

:helpme

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

That's actually very interesting, as it's similar to the mistake of branding a .net and losing traffic to the .com: ifly gets traffic meant for flyi
