    Talking Interesting domain name story

    Ok so I registered this .net domain name two years ago. I had in mind to create something like "linkexchange" but with impression-per-click award in addition to that per impression. So I got the domain, and after like a year I created this nice web site for it. I also purchased an excellent perl script to do the job for $50. Strike of reality, it wasn't a sucess. It was really done well but it didn't work out (lack of interested people.. perhaps ?)

    But shortly after I registered it, I discovered that the .com version of it is for a company which pays per clicks. I sent them an e-mail asking them if they want the domain name, they never replied.

    The funny part is that when I put it on ebay for sale last summer, in which I also included what is left of Hosting, the entire web site, and the script. The auction ended nicely, and I got myself $280 - $120 = $160 net (well the effort I put in that web site was worth much more than $160, oh well :( ). I tranfered the name and everything went great. A couple of months later, I discover that actually the person who purchased the site wanted only the domain, and he forwarded it to the .com.

    I am glad that the story ended this way. I got my money back (maybe a little more), and the company got the name. The interesting part though, is that I offered the name for them in my e-mail for $50! They could have easily purchased it then instead of paying $280 on ebay.

    What do you think?

    Did the "whois" match? Maybe someone else bought it and became an affiliate.

    I agree, they most likely deleted it w/o reading it.
