Thank you for your insights Katherine.

I do understand that market value is a shaky concept with regard to domains, but I have found the 3 ballpark ranges suggested here extremely useful.

Yes,...

Thanks discobull, wise tactics, I'll certainly do my best to strike a good deal, although I also have no problem hanging on a few more years for the right buyer if these guys aren't willing to pay a...

No worries.

Do you think we should request thread deletion?

By the way, the drinking thing is a bit of a myth too - a lot of Irish do like to drink, but we have a lot of abstainers too. Per...

That is a good point but I did give, in my original post, quite a comprehensive description of the company, including the number of partners, their age and heavy-weight backgrounds.

Essentially, I...

Okay. Look. Time out.

I take it, from the fact that you deleted your last comment, that you understand that this whole thing is now out of control.

What you wrote was racist and, surely,...

Look. Football matches are public and, yet, somehow, people manage to resist the urge to run on the pitch and take a dump. The same thing applies to threads: you are, apparently, allowed to openly...

Could we please just avoid each other on this forum from now on?

If I read one of your posts, I'll be sure not to comment. Likewise, if I ask a question, could you maybe just move along to the...

1. Thank you for following polite practice and observing that very important convention, which everyone else in this section of the forum respects.

2. I don't know if you are best friends with...

This is your problem in a nutshell. If, before launching an all-out attack upon me, you had simply read my original post, you would know that they had made no actual offer, it was an enquiry.

That...

Chill out? Theo, you have completely derailed this thread and done everything you can to screw me.

What do want, a "Master Hacker" badge for figuring out who wants a domain when I wasn't making any attempt to hide it.

I would only sell one of my domains for what it is worth, so, it might...

Theo, I cannot keep up with the speed at which you are spraying this thread.

YOU are the only person who has broken with accepted practice and, in a deliberate attempt to screw another member's...

Okay, look, I appreciate that you are actually trying to be helpful with that.

However, just to clarify how the trademark system and, indeed, the UDRP rules apply, you cannot lose your domain...

Quality, not quantity. I have not read your other 30,000 posts but, judging by the 4 you sprayed into this thread, I'm going to guess that your prolific contributions have not done much to actually...

Fair point, I misread that.

Thank you for your estimate, it is extremely useful to have a second opinion alongside Biggie's.

I agree that FourSquare never really took off and, as far as I know,...

Theo, are you actually, right now, having a stroke?

I said none of those things.

The potential buyer is NOT concerned about trademark implications, because there are none - no existing...

No, you could not do ANY of those things, because they would all be violations of existing trademarks in those categories.

Again, I am specifically asking for opinions on the value of the domain...

As should be obvious from the original post, the potential buyer is in an entirely different trademark category.

I posted here in the Domain Appraisal section because I am looking for estimate's...

@ Theo

Yes, I am gutted not to have the entire set, all the way up to OneHundredSquare.com.

I am, however, hopeful, that I will soon be able to build up a comprehensive portfolio of...

@Biggie - thank you very much for your insights.


With regard to the meaning, beyond FourSquare, I note that many of the companies using the name were doing so prior to the existence of...

I have received an email enquiry from a Dutch investment firm who are rebranding, the email did not contain any offer amount:

FiveSquare (dot) com

Obviously, apart from being a memorable brand...

No, all coupons restrict the form of payment you can use, because they are already taking a financial hit on the promotional offer and would lose even more money on a PayPal transaction - if you...

I've been using these codes for years, but they now seem to be cracking down on non-US users of these codes.

I click the payment button and get the message:

"Unfortunately, we are unable to...

I would very much appreciate any opinions on the value of this domain:

I have been approached, by email and phone message, by someone who, judging by the results when I google his...

Thanks John, I received a newly-generated AUTH code from Jonathan...

I buy a lot of domains via Snapnames and I always hate it when they force me to manage the domain via their sister company Moniker. It's usually not a big deal because I just have to wait 60 days...

Godaddy's system says that this offer expired of the 1st of this month.





Offer amount seems to have changed, resulting in a "One or more products in your cart are on sale for a lower price...

@silentg - But those domains weren't coming up for a prerelease or a drop on SnapNames, were they?

I've got no problem with domain owners selling their domains via SnapNames, I just think that...

Thanks silentg, interesting to hear their explanation because they still haven't replied to my support query.

What seems wrong about that explanation is the timing: they are suggesting that...

Yeah, I did actually get burned by that Halvarez thing :uhoh:

As I say, I am now questioning what the point is - I understand how SnapNames might think this is a good idea but, seriously, they are...

Last night, I submitted an order for a prerelease domain on SnapNames and, as the deadline passed, mine was the only order. Usually, this would result in me receiving the domain or, at the very...

Thanks Yofie, interesting to know.

Hmmm, I guess the fact that no-one has an opinion on it is a bad sign - I had presumed that Newton's "shoulders of giants" quotation was commonly known and would spark at least a couple of comments.

Does anyone have any opinions at all on this one?

- famous quotation by Isaac Newton, recognizing that all scientific progress is built upon the centuries of progress that preceded it.

I registered GiantShoulders (dot) com in 2004, thinking that...

Thanks Brad - I'm not American, so, I wasn't aware of the exact usage. An American friend has mentioned it in context of coyly offering a bribe, "Have you met my friend Ben Frank?" but, obviously...

I would very much appreciate your appraisals of this domain:

BenFrank (dot) com

... I have listed it for sale but not yet set a price, I have been approached by a potential buyer, he has not...

Just a quick update to say that the sale went through without any hiccups.

Thanks to all of you for your advice.

Yes, you're entirely right, I was just pissed off with myself but it isn't such a bad deal and, yes, a valuable lesson and a timely one as I prepare to sell quite a few domains over the coming year. ...

Unfortunately, I'm beginning to realize that I kind of screwed myself on this one - their initial offer was Eur 500 and my immediate reflex thought was that there was no way I would accept less than...

Thank you so much INFORG and elius, I really appreciate your input.

I asked because I had an offer of $1900 and absolutely no idea whether that was a fair price (the dollar being very low at the...

InstantSale (dot) com

I would very much appreciate your opinions.

Thanks icehole :)

The thing that irks me about Dynadot is the ridiculous decision to charge more, not less, for transfers in, that is completely insane in competitive terms. Honestly, having dived deep into what the...

Yeah, I guess it is fun but, seriously, I'm just finding it nerve-wracking!

I didn't want to frighten them away and, among the domains I have, I didn't rate ismellgreat.com all that highly. My...

Thanks Katherine and Acro - I did look at Fabulous earlier, but the website seemed to suggest that I would need 5000+ domains to get the $7.99 Tier 1 pricing and, frankly, the prices at other tiers...

Thanks WhoDatDog.

Roughly how much would you pitch them at to a design agency enquiring on behalf of a client?

I was approached out of the blue and had absolutely no idea where to begin.

Hi Dmyre, thanks for the link.

One strange thing I notice about Dynadot is that they charge MORE for transfers in than they do for new registrations and renewals - very odd, most companies are...

My portfolio has roughly 2000 domains and growing rapidly but I am unhappy with my current registrar, ResellOne.net - they've gone to Hell since ThePlanet.com purchased them.

What registrars...

YouSmellGreat.com

and

iSmellGreat.com


Would greatly appreciate your opinions.
