GeogeK,
Your comments suggest an undercurrent of envy. You ask others to document "evidence" of their claims of sales success, but offer no evidence of your own. Why is that? Should we now start doubting your credibility? Have you ever sold a name? Waiting ...
This slagging back and forth is frankly pointless. One thing I will say, is that I do know several people who have been doing business with DnP, and that business involves NUMEROUS domain sales on a monthly basis involving individual multi $10,000 sales PER domain.
How many domains have you sold for 10/20/30/40/50/60 .... thousands of dollars GeorgeK? How many seller's pockets have you lined with big dollars?
You may not like his style or comments, but rest assured, those who choose to deal with him, and have REAL money to spend, or excellent domains to sell, have been satisfied.
Now, my participation here is due to my interest in developement. I don't buy and sell domains regularly, therefore, I don't have a vested interest in this discussion. Just pointing out the facts.

As for the Domain King, Rick Schwartz, power to him. He seems sincere in helping others, and his advice is not pie in the sky, but makes a lot of common sense. Lets not forget, however, that he does benefit from having the public board open, and having sales offers come his way. Don't know him. Nothing against him. If its a rags to riches story, more power to him!
However, I assume that most of his revenue has been derived from (to phrase it nicely) his "adult" holdings. Porn is Porn after all. Not everyone wants to get involved with "adult" sites or content, even though it is the most profitable niche out there.
He is the self styled "Domain King", and has promoted himself as such in the press. With such a public persona, one should expect criticism as well as praise. Comes with the territory.
What I don't approve of is his "money is the only way to keep score". Frankly, a little silly don't you all think?

Let's all just take a deep breath .... and relax now.
