I figured twistys was worth 100 million

i sent you my genius idea....have it if you like it. someone should do it to help out society

dont' tell anyone else though...i only want to see it come to life via someone that knows what they are doing

this is the best source i know of to buy real businesses. flippa is mostly crap these days, IMHO.

If I had money... I'd open up a business selling older exotic cars. Like that TV show "Chasing Classic Cars". Buy older exotic cars, fix them up, and then sell them. Can't miss - buy an older Ferrari, fix a few things, clean it up, put it for sale at a profit and sit on it until it sells. My step father did this when I was a kid really - He would fly to Europe, buy older sports cars, bring them back to the US, and sell them.

Now that's big pimping.

Very motivational pics.

+1

People do buy a lot of that crap though, just look at the recently sold sites......

Glad you are enjoying your retirement in style, Shap! At least you have plenty of time now to find and start your next business venture at your own pace.

Shap I gotta ask, how much does it cost to rent out a villa like that for a few months?

Looks incredible! :thumbsup

good luck bro

this may sound strange

look at kickstarter.com


you would be surprised at how many good ideas fail to get funding because they don't understand things like seo, proper social media marketing.

there good money in redoing those failed projects.

Good idea. I've bought a few of the products listed there. Cool site.

While not a bad idea, and I'm sure it would make money... It's hard as fuck to scale it, since there's obviously a significant scarcity of older cars.

Besides, it would require A LOT of work on the part of the owner. I'm sure Shap is looking for a more hands-free biz op, where he can be the brain in the operation and others do the work.

very nice pad ;)

If you're looking for aged mainstream domains without sites and have specific niches you are interested in hit me up. Usually have 400-800 mainstream .com domains at all times, currently rebuilding database/domain sales site so not publicly listed at this time.

awesome pics man

Thanks Steve hope all is well ;)

do something in an area of interest you have some real passion for - then brainstorm, look around at what's out on the web on that area of interest and do it better with a new spin.

amazing house - come on, give us an idea how much that place rents for!

wow Shap wins...guess someone has to

:thumbsup

How about bringing the sport of one-wall Handball mainstream, if a couple more countries develop a handball program it will be eligible for the Olympics. Not sure if your looking for something so challenging?

If you are really interested in mainstream, flippa and other mainstream sites are worth a view every once in awhile. However I've never seen any really good sites being listed.

If you want to keep up on trends, get yourself into a few mainstream affiliate networks and keep up on the new campaigns, goto affiliate summit and leadscon, frequent a few of the mainstream forums (NOT DP), keep up on startup news sites techcrunch etc.

where did you list twistys?

everything is for sale, you just have to have the right price. find one you like and talk to the owners.

If I were you... and unfortunately for you, I am not. ;)... I would look into brick and mortar. Plenty of businesses you can start with what you would now consider measly capital and generate large amounts of income. Fully managed by others...

The owner says the asking price for the house is $26,000,000. It rents for $20,000 a week in the winter and $60,000 a week in the summer. I did a lot of research when I was looking for a rental and had a pretty good idea of what I could get for the money. Before making my final decision I took a chance and see if I could get a deal from this guy. I was able to work him down to $30,000 a month. Probably sounds crazy but from the research I did a steal for this house in this area.

Shap, please email your email to my below email...
 

I have hundreds of cloud domains----please email me if you'd like to scan the list.

Thanks I got it and will reply to you :)

652 domains, many just two words starting with the word "Cloud".

Email me for the list?

How does 10%-15% with security on your money sound.

Mainstream

Principal money is super secure and safe.

Dave, since you you have an AMAZING track record at picking the highest quality domain names, I want to buy your entire list of cloud domains right now. What is your paypal address? I don't even want to see the list. I trust your list is AWESOME, sight unseen.

Thanks Dave. I'll pass for now. For some reason I've never liked the term cloud. I like the idea but not not the name :winkwink:

Any way to get your current email addy?

I have some mainstream ventures you may be interested in and would love to send you the details.

If you are an old dog with old tricks save your $$ and see below:

Great advice Dave, exactly what I would do :)

Also amazing pics Shap!

These are incredible shots! It must feel so good to live life like this. Amazing work man! You success is inspirational to say the least!

the name is the idea. because cloud really doesnt have one particular meaning. people will rarely search for "Software as a service" or "Virtualized VMware Hosting" etc...

At the same time, its good to have Cloud in the domain, getting a 1 worded and branding it is something i typically like better. (edit)

Make up your mind already.
