A real battle going on in the domain auction scene right now. Wow.

epic money!

Thought that auction would never end...

I had it backordered, was waiting to see how it would go, but never bothered bidding when I saw those two guys go at it :1orglaugh

Yeah it was a classic duel to the death between 2 buyers. You gotta believe they will be exchanging emails with each other afterwards like:

and what price did it end up selling at?

url to auction?

It was a drop, snapnames caught it, so the auction was private.

I'd bang the shit out of her, elf ears and all...

what was the final price?

You sick, sick fuck. :pimp

Damm ...

You're exactly right sir, and I do apologize. Too old...

what the hell is someone thinking, it's kinda a cool name, but jeez how is someone going to make a profit with it at that price?

Epic fail that someone let EpicFail.com drop to begin with. Bet it reached low 5-figures at least.

The previous owner got OWNED, but it's UBER COOL for the new owner.

EPIC FAIL.... Just another trendy keyword to fizzle out.

I hope the buyer can develop and turn a profit quickly.

Those bidders spend way too much time on forums...

i see the opportunity for someone to build a good community site on it. it is a hot catchphrase on th enet right now. build a gathering around all things fail in life. you could go darwin awards style with it, and have a successful little venture i'm sure. just a bunch of people coming together to laugh at other people's failures and misfortune. there's a huge market for that shit, lol.

that is getting up there as far as sales price though. there's definitely people out there making ridiculous cash online though. whose income would make this look like a $100 purchase to some people in comparison. must be nice to have that kind of throw around money.

you could easily make back the $7K on that domain because of how viral the net is now

sucks for the guy who forgot to renew it

Worth $7k to the right buyer. I personally wouldn't pay more then $500 for it.

I would have definitely paid the $9.99 the original owner failed to pay though.

Could be a good earning site if done right

While I myself probably wouldn't pay more than low $x,xxx at most for the name, for someone wanting to strike while the iron is hot, it's more than worth it. 49,500 exact monthly searches on Google alone for epic fail, and a fitting site would get viral in a hurry - look at FailBlog.

Sold for $7,250.00, pending payment right now.

Someone with heavy college or EN site traffic could monetize it.

I thought I saw a bid of over 8k

FAIL and OWNED memes are mostly used by broke teenagers.

I wouldn't count on monetizing it much.

How much you want to bet that it ends up as either
a. non payment
b. just a parked page

If you were in on the bidding go to: Snapnames, My Auctions, then Pending Orders. And you'll see it there for $7,250.00, pending payment

Damn those bastards at snapnames earning nice money for nothing.They also earned nice money on me.

think about it a bit further, any random person that maybe gets an email from their friends or sees one of those "epic fail" poster things and chuckles to themselves thinking "hey that is pretty funny, maybe I'll google 'epic fail' and see some more...


great domain name and will get traffic very easily :2 cents:

Just remembered this domain. The new site is growing quite fast.

Epic Fail is also a TV skit on G4TV

Could probably turn it into something WoW-related and monetize via affiliate commission for merchandise.

Yup the new owner is doing a good job, he also owns www.ownagevideos.com

good for him for seeing the potential.

I should auction owned.com off.. I get offers for $10k all of the time, every once in awhile would get one for $50k - right now I'd probably accept that offer to put the money into a few other projects I'm having more fun developing..

i own EpicBody.com any takers? icq me

Epic Fail etc. are pretty funny stuff. the site looks good right now, pretty boneheaded not to renew it.

Gotta love those crazy ass candy ravers.

That girl probably chews 42 pills a night.

what the hell is someone thinking, it's kinda a cool name, but jeez how is someone going to make a profit with it at that price?

Maybe they aren't planning to resell it, maybe they want to develop it.


edit.. btw this is quite odd...


woj did one of your bots get lose?

would make a great viral site, like icanhascheezburger or failblog

yep, it's exactly like failblog now. using same marketing techniques etc

Broke surfers will be good as long as PPC lives!

In the right hands, a great name can become even greater.

Looks like he is doing quite well now. Lucky no one listens to some of the idiots here.

yep good for him, funny site :)

This one would surely fetch some nice $$, already developed too I see.

I got poornoob.com for sale

$1000,- Escrow or Wire transfer only
