This is funny because I just registered DoubleTapBloomBloom.com.

I think Shane Cultra will buy it since this can easily be used to further his horticultural business.

$20k Shane? ... Shane?

Alright so let's review now that you have listed the domain.

By just looking at Estibot.com you would think that the domain is a great domain that will sell for $23k.

However, let's look at a...

There are a ton of factors that go into how one may put value in a name, and without knowing the name it would be hard to really tell you what it's worth or if you should have bought it.

Estibot...

That video was hilarious. Great autotuning.

Seriously though Charles Ramsey is a hero.

Nailed it guys! I say "eh?" and they are like "A?".

It seemed that the process was quicker before they just sent you an email like many other registrars with the auth code, but now it seems...

Hey guys,

I've transferred names from NetSol before (which usually just meant getting the authorization code which was emailed within 15 minutes and then continuing with the transfer)

I'm...

Great story!

It proves that if you work hard and have some cash you can acquire high quality domains.

It is certainly not impossible to score some gems.

I'm not in favour of torture EXCEPT for people who take people's lives like this or molest children.

A slow, long and painful death for you to feel what you did to everyone you affected.

The world is getting sicker by the day.

It's very sad to see and hear these kind of things.

I don't understand how anyone can relate to a mind so sick and twisted to snuff out the lives of...

Welcome to DNF, Paul.

Welcome Raymond!

Edit: never mind, Johnn beat me to it.

I was trying to do a proper mathematical function f(x) = something; but I couldn't get it, but if you are using a programming language
you should be able...

Welcome to the Platinum Club!!

Hey David,

Thanks for your comments. The domain is not GeoLawyers.com.

It's a CityLawyers.com domain name where I have inserted Geo or City in place of the actual city of 62k residents.

I acquired a GeoLawyers.com domain on the drop for a city in the US which has over 62 000 people.

It's the first legal domain I've acquired so I'm excited, but debating my next step.

This city...

I don't think these names would provide a high return.

For Geo's you want to stick to GeoKeyword.com or in some cases KeywordGeo.com

VisitGeo.com, GeoLawyer.com, GeoFlorist.com etc.

Good to hear they'll do that!

I must say, if this practice is commonplace it is terribly low. I feel bad for the OP.

A quick ca$h grab by the "drop catchers", but a wonderful way to piss off your clients.

This kind of...

I think the font type fits the "space" genre. a few things to think about:

1) The placement of ".com" is a bit awkward.
2) The arcs going down to the stars or flash points aren't really doing it...

I was thinking about that too! Quite interesting. I wonder how long it actually stays off the list for.

Gotta agree with Theo here. The plural on 'logo' brings down the value for this name.

I'm not saying you can't find a buyer, but LogoDesigns.com makes more sense to me than LogosDesigns.com.
...

Thanks for replying, I figured that out just now as a searched for the domain again and was about to update this thread.

Thanks for your help Jack!

I added a closeout domain to my cart, but was initially confused at the pricing and deleted the domain from my cart.

However, when I searched for the name again, it was gone.

At first I thought...

The .com is owned by a winery and likely won't be dropped and the .ca is parked.

I really should work on getting the .ca, though.

Biggie and Johnn both valid points. I've purchased names for $xxxx and hand registered names as well.

My thought though was that as a domainer, usually (hopefully) will carve out some sort of...

Just curious,

What amount do you spend on average (each domain is different) to acquire a domain name?

Skinny

Yes, that's true. I've thought about that point mjnels. The fact that he wanted to send a physical paper was as you said to make it a physical good.

He seemed just as worried that I would burn him...

I think he felt more secure in this transaction because, he had never used Escrow.com. He also felt they wouldn't release the funds quickly after the deal was done.

I answered all his questions...

That sounds like a cool story. Sometimes, you gotta get creative in acquiring or selling a domain.

But like you mentioned, you can't be reckless or you can lose a lot of money.
Better to err on...

Most topical now, you say? More topical in the weeks to come, you say? :)

Domain spam is incredibly annoying and a waste of everyone's time. What people will do for a quick buck ...

The name is a niched generic descriptive domain, with about 9.9k global (1k local searches) with CPC of $10.58. There's high competition for this term.
The domain was registered in 1996 and taken in...

So I increased an offer for a domain I was interested in and the owner accepted.

I was thrilled. I set up an Escrow.com transaction and thought that the transaction would be done relatively...

Congrats Adam and the team. Well deserved.

Nailed it!

I don't think domaining is going to end completely, but will it change? Yes.
Will more emphasis be on true development, or domain leasing deals? Yes.
Will apps and the way we consume the internet...

Thanks everyone. Going to look into evoice.

I don't understand why anyone would want to add privacy (especially if you are using a 1800 number) if you are interested in making a sale.

How much does a toll free number cost?

It was on the high end of $XXX. Nothing massive, but a profitable flip nonetheless.

I had snapped up a domain name e.g. GeoPaving.com (not actual domain). with the intent of flipping it quickly.

There were several end users (some small companies, some organizations, and a large...

I was about to ask the same question.

Those were my 2 thoughts as well for development. I think you are on the right track.

From what has been discussed here I think it's really hard for them to win this case.

I hope you succeed in retaining the name, Adam.

There have to be penalties for reverse domain high jacking....

Dump. Dump. Dump.

Take the money you would spend on the renewal fees ~$820 total ($10 per domain) and buy a good name or two good names.

Take your time and do your research. Quality over...

Hey Adam,

Google is labelling DNF.com as "may be compromised". DNForum.com seems okay.

Not sure how serious this is. Thought I'd let...

I can't wait to ditch my Blackberry Curve. What a piece of junk.

Will probably go with the Galaxy S3.

If you buy a name, but it's previous owners have it still listed for sale at Sedo, Afternic, etc.
how do you get them to remove it so that you can list it or at the very least reduce confusion?
...

@Maxwell, @Puckerhuddle, I agree the site could be so much more.

But imagine what else you could do with that $120k every year. The ROI is huge and you can use that money to further other...

@Puckerhuddle These sites are doing very well.

You can read Michael Berkins' interview with the owner of Chicago.com here.

He pulled in $125k in revenue in the first year. That's pretty...

Yup, I was surprised as well. Great deal by the end user.

Hey Simon,

I haven't checked out the app (as I don't have an iPhone) but from what I can tell it looks like a very nice app.

I had this very same idea kicking in my head awhile back and I'm...
