Weeeehawww!!! :1orglaugh

Damn...to be in on the ground floor of some cool domain names :(

are these bidders legit ?

$4.3M :1orglaugh Riiiiiiiiight

Those zero feedback fucks never pay :(

Also pretty awesome domain name. :thumbsup

Are you for real? You know what that domain is worth?

he should just accept webfathers bid, at least he'll get paid

i'm holding out for more *wink*

This is why only a handful of people have made huge fortunes with domains.

99.999999% just don't get it.

funny how some fuck with 0 feedback just bumped the bid by 2-3 million ;)

(fsklgm)

yes KRL, it's worth what a legitimate purchaser is willing to pay for it...

Well, what about that one?

Robotsex.net for US $25,000,000.00 :1orglaugh

KRL - I believe I somewhat get "it", "it" being the domain industry.

However I agree with pimporn here, and with most webmasters for that matter - $4.3 million is pushing the envelope here. I don't think anyone is on the outside looking in, and or a "inferior" domainer, simply because they feel the purchase price is a bit inflated.

Seven figures seems justified, but no more then $2 million in my opinion. Unless of course, you're a wireless provider. In that case, small feed.

Reserve not met :Graucho

I would guess that if you can resell it to a wireless provider for more.. you win.. if you can't.. ouch..

The background on this domain is supposedly it was set to be purchased by a dotcom for high 7 figs that went bellyup during the dotcom bust. There's also some questions about wether or not the shareholders would still have rights to it or not. Its got a messy background. But for a major telecom it's worth 7 figs.

good deal

If you are implying I don't get "it", I do in fact get "it". What I don't get is why somebody with 39 feedbacks, whose last item they sold was a broken shit ass laptop for $58, is gonna fork over 4.3M for wireless.com. Unless the guy bidding against him with zero feedback is gonna pay it, the same guy that kept outbidding himself. :1orglaugh That domain is worth 7 figures but I smell something fishy here.

if i was to buy it for 4.5 million does that mean i have to leave good feedback to the seller?

You would think for such a premium name, that this seller (or broker) would be able to find someone to format HTML for an eBay listing.

Maybe even come up with a better marketing pitch than "Remember there is only one Wireless.com and when its gone its gone!" :1orglaugh

Anyway... who wants to take bets on which bidders are real and which ones are insiders?

:)

domains DONT MAKE THE SITE.

the site does.

The fake username is probably some guy fishing to find the reserve price.

Oh God here we go . . .


:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

HAHAHAHA that is the best thing I have seen all weekend.

I need to get out more

judging from the recent uptick in Venture funding and the rise in domain action, looks like Internet/New Media ventures will be hotter plays in the future

i dont think so, there is something fishy there with the last bidders.

What a deal!

i thought so slav, I doubt anyone above webfather will complete on this, or maybe im wrong ? also, the guy is dumb.. a telco exec will not sign up and bid on ebay!

Like the last thing he sold?

LOL LOL


Laptop stays on for 30 minutes, then the heating fan goes off and the computer hangs

God I wish I had it together to buy that bitch... Leasing it out alone would pay itself off easily. But a moron with too much money and not enough sense can drive it into the ground just as well.

Nice frigging domain though *sigh

What would you do with it if you leased it and what do you supposed a 4 million dollar domain would cost to lease a month?

$75,000 a month :pimp

C'mon, KRL admit it. You're fsklgm right? :winkwink:



:)

many cell phone companies put up hundreds and even thousands of towers at 100's of thousands of dollars in cost EACH tower - think MAYBE they'll fight for that url with a few million... duuuuu

fuck ya that's real.

the item he's currently selling

also seems to go by weeble19

you guys do the rest, maybe you can find something else juicier

To give you a guys a little insight into the domain industry, the traffic this name derives alone (could easily be 100,000 uniques/day), can justify the current bids... Tons of money can be made from monetizing on traffic. :)

my 2 cents.

domain does about 1500 type ins a day

Anyone interested in wireeless.com?

Why would you use ebay for anything high profile? Seems to me they always get a bunch of idiots putting in fake bids that fucks up the auction.

the other high bidder
adq! sells shirts online ?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=3945317 183

in case you idiot trolls think it's fake - If i could get wireless.com for a million dollars I've have the money in the sellors' hand in less than a couple of days. (done properly of course, but finding a millon or more for a url like that wouldn't NOT be difficult)

the name is soooo easy to market in commericals - how much do you think a major cell phone company spends on commericals a year? a few million to have a KILLER url everyone will remember isn't that hard a purchase to pitch to any of a number of those companies out there with the funds to do it

Hey! You'd be surprised, selling those designer Gucci/Diesel shirts. The metrosexuals on this board alone, as his customers could buy wireless.com in 14x monthly revenue.

whats your point ??

boy that men.com deal is looking like a real steal!

Sequence of events:

Sleazy buys domain for $1 million in a "couple of days" >>
A "couple of days" later, domain gets hijacked >>
Sleazy bitches on GFY >>

wahhh wahhhh

:sleep

and xerox let go of the PC

corps aren't that smart and their executives certainly dont trawl ebay for domains

i agree though a company like vodafone could snap it up easily assuming they had the forsight, which begs the question why haven't they yet ?
