Intuit is interested in a domain I own, hopefully they will email me a generous offer soon

Great Sell!

They do rank on the first page of goog for many moderate sized financial search terms. After $170 million deal just Pray Googl or another power never changes that

I don't like this buy! I use mint.com, preferred it over Inuit's site. I hope it doesn't change...

**tekz999** · 09-15-2009, 01:20 AM

The amount is so tremblingly thunderous.

**Carter** · 09-15-2009, 04:32 AM

Development is the future.
Great sale.

**sashas** · 09-15-2009, 04:34 AM

Are you guys idiots? Development is the future? This is not some cheap-a** wordpress mini site, this is a full blown financial service that had $32 million in venture capital investment.

Don't get your hopes high regarding that "Awesome domain" that you own that might fetch the same price if you "develop" it.

Hey WTF have you sleep bad tonight? LOL
You said right things...I only remember from a domainer point of view that development is the key...and with good domains we need to start some businesses on them not only fake parking pages.

It's obvious this is a company sold for millions.

**DTalk** · 09-15-2009, 04:53 AM

Wow.....This'll really re-rate LLLL.com values.....HAHAHAHHA

Seriously, Mint.com is an unbelievable business......Brilliant concept, incredibly well executed, fantastically successful....And, done in just 2 years...!!.....Wonderfully well done!

Those guys deserve every penny of what they got for that business, imo...

Sensational.

most definitely !!

**Doc Com** · 09-15-2009, 01:43 PM

Mint dot com is a business just like Google dot com.

In other words, it is not just a website and it is not just a domain name.

If you read the stories on this, you will see that this was the third largest competitor to Intuit in the online money management/finance. Please, don't assume it was a domain purchase. It was a business purchase that happens to be named mint dot com.

I have a strong suspicion that irregardless of the domain name, if quicken wanted to merge and boost their market share, they would have made the purchase not based on the name but the books of a company.
