Domainers: Step Inside
 

Regardless of my personal opinion, I would like to know the thought process behind the 'domain' strategy.

I understand the shorter domains that are high demand. I do get the names, and cities. Plus some of the other key phrases that would be good for marketing. Type in dot.coms's, ok.

That said, when I see this...

and the prices some people want on them. I have to wonder..

I'm not a domainer but....

pledgeofallegiance.com - $312,000 <-- Is there a sane human being that's willing to pay for this?

Exhibit A...

i would low ball them... see if they bite...

people can ask whatever they want

just because someone puts a $3000 price tag on a domain that is worth $5 doesn't mean anything

True.

But how some people can price these amounts for 'some' of these domains, and keep a straight face is pure comedy.

myspacefatbabes.com ----$10,000

yfxo.com - $2,000 3 bids?


myspacegirls.com - $178,000 4 bids?

:helpme

I'll explain something about how their system works....

for example, myspacegirls.com it says $178,000 price and 4 bids with "Offer" as the option.... I could offer $5 and it counts as a bid, the owner of the domain can then send me a counteroffer and ask $177,995.... and so on

so it says '4 bids', but those 4 bids could be for under $20 for all we know

the $178,000 price put up for those 'Offer' domains is just a number, put up by the guy that listed the domain


I've seen domains sell for $5 there, and the very next day the guy that bought it has it listed for $5000 :1orglaugh

Ok.

So it's not like ebay.

Myspacegirls is a good domain but there might be copyright issues. Regardless it's not worth $175,000

Yeah. I've had people buy sites I sold off, and then go run off to list the domain for sale on GD. I know this because they would forget to change something, so I would get the e-mail telling me some shit about an auction or whatever.

I would then respond to the buyer who would sheepishly laugh about it.

on tdnam, if you see a domain with a little green "Bid" button, those are the ones that are like a normal auction, where you can see the current bid and you can bid $5 more than the last bid

you can put a max and it will bid automatically for you up to your maximum as well
