So, they are among us.

Steve, as always, you are on the "cutting edge" of the future of the domain business.

What makes you think they haven't already? WLS is the only small window of opportunity left you have to trawl the system if you are street smart.

Otherwise, you can chose never to play again. It's really getting very expensive to grab whatever is dropping now. Unlike the good ol' days.

What makes YOU think that these same guys aren't prepared to do to the WLS what they are doing to the drop game. .DOMINATE . . . your reason to bring WLS is flawed.

Try dominating quicksand. The weight of your numbers will only pull you, plus your money, down into the mud. I guess you haven't figured out the real strategy of WLS, have you? :)

I think the reason you are seeing the stock piling by these large groups is due to the upcoming WLS program. After it hits, I must agree with Mole - it will change the entire landscape of the drop market. These large groups would like to control the WLS system, but I believe they know that will be impossible. The only company that will fully profit and control the WLS is Verisign. Just my 2 cents - Steve

Interesting point on the stockpiling. Does this mean domain name resellers, large and small, with money will just keep re-registering names to keep them out of the drop pool and WLS? If so, this could drive up the end user prices so that even the small guys who hold their domains would benefit. Especially if WLS dries up the flow of domain names through the drop process.

Boca John - I am sure that will be the case. Renewals rates should rise as well - thus end user prices will surely follow - It should benefit any domain collector whether large or small, over the short run of the next 12-24 months. Only real problem will be replacing good inventory. Best of luck - Steve

i have no opinion on wls one way or the other. . . . i'm more against it than for it for simple reasons, but I just don't see your why you think it's better . . . this is directed to mole, urlcollection and domainprofiles. How do you think it will "be impossible" for buydomains to dominate?

One thing I see happening when and if WLS ever happens is that every domain owner (with a valid email address) will now be notified that their domain name is inherently valuable (becuase it has a WLS on it ). . . this means FAR FAR less of those domains will ever get into your hands, my hands or even BFDs hands. A good majority of people will see this as an opportunity to sell their names through verislimes Namestore (or whatever it will be called... nice name btw urlcollection) .


AND LASTLY, almost forgot.
What's the "REAL Strategy" mole. Please enlighten me. I'm just a newbie

The real strategy is to screw BD and the rest of the so-called big players with all their priviledged RRP access LOL!!

The real strategy is to use the WLS as an instant alert system to contact the owner of the name immediately.

The real strategy is to start buying names from all those here who for whatever reason can't seem to sell their domains and are willing to let it go for less than the cost of a WLS sub.

Of course, what is real, is only up to you. :)

We are in the business to do "business". If you make it personal. You will lose.

Also, BD does not even know that you even exist.

"Just keep your eye on the ball". And, think about how to improve your position in the domain business.
