Hi,

I need to reach a domainer named "Walter Long". He is one of the first hour, seems he started in 1993 or so. Used to live in Newburyport. No phonenumber works anymore. Guy seems to be hiding somewhere ;-)

One of my German customers wants to spend big bucks on one of his domains.

PM me, please. Or forward my email to him:
[email protected]
 
If he started in 1993 how come walterlong.com is registered to some guy by the same name 11 years later? :D
 
Email the address on the whois record "Elliott" with the enquiry.
 
I assumed that's not him. Do you know 'Walter Long', Dale? What is the mythology behind this great domain pioneer? :D

No Theo, I don't know this intrepid pioneer, but that would be my first port of call in my sojourn to find him :D

Hi,

yeah, it doesn't seem to be him. His domains have another pattern.
 
Walter doesn't respond to inquiries often, but he gets your emails to there's no special way to reach him.

He's not "hiding" he simply doesn't sell his domains often.

No, it's probably not him. But he may know who 'he' is and have some contact info.
 
I'm intrigued, where can I read more about Walter's ultra-valuable portfolio and legendary rise to domain stardom?

If you have his full name and a previous address, Pay a few bucks at peoplefinder.com, sometimes they will display it for free.... You can get his current phone number(s) as well.
 
Might want to spam proof that info above.

This is my favorite part....

Early in 2000, before Complainant knew that Respondent speculates in domain names, Complainant's counsel inquired about purchasing the Disputed Domain Name and in response Respondent negotiated to sell the Disputed Domain Name to Complainant for $100,000. This sale was never consummated, but it does prove that Respondent’s motives included sale of the Disputed Domain Name. In light of the fact that Respondent has done nothing else with the Disputed Domain Name, and Respondent’s self-professed status as a domain name speculator it stands to reason that sale is Respondent’s primary – indeed only – motive. Further, the price named by Respondent, $100,000, is wildly in excess of Respondent’s costs to register the Disputed Domain Name.

Ok who Walter is...
