I own the .net, the owner of the .com wants to sell to me...

[draggar]

Last summer there was a pair of domains that dropped, a .com and a .net. The .com went to an auction and sold for about $80, I picked up the .net in their post-drop auction for about $15.

Now, the owner of the .com wants to sell it to me for over triple what he paid for it.

1) Too bad I don't have the $$$
2) I'm happy with the .net since it's just a redirect to another site for now.

*lol*

Note to the seller:

Make sure the domain is registered and you have it before you try to sell it.

I just hand registered it for $7. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I should thank him for making me check the WhoIs information and seeing that it was available.

Also, I should flag it as a private registration and then see if I can take him up on his offer.

Note to this person: Don't try to sell something you do not own or you can expect to get bit in the ***. Go ahead and threaten to sue me. I'm sure the courts will love you when they hear that *and* the fact that I owned the .net LONG before you even contacted me. Open for registration means exactly that, anyone can register it.

That's too funny.

I am seriously thinking of changing the registration to private and then playing along. I really want to, really, I really do.

Too bad GoDaddy doesn't have free private registration unless you do it at registration and have to do 6 or more at a time.

Maybe it's time to send a PM to one of these execs who have been PMing me.

That's too funny.

that's not funny at all, some jokers are trying to sell domains they don't own on a regular basis.

I wonder how many people fall for things like this?

 

[areav]

was it from name solutions? they do it with many of my names.

Tell him his offer is way too low and you were looking to pay $10K + for it


(Then he will pay you $200.. for it) haha w/o knowing its you..

BUT HIS FAULT!!

The email didn't have any association with them (not from their domain, it was actually from googlemail.com )

Email back and say what you just paid 5k for it, and see what he says then that could be fun.

Still laffin. This could actually work only offer him $10k, contact him on the backend through privacy and sell it to him for $5k, then walk away from your original bid.

Starts my day with a laff.

Rock on Ed.

I'm thinking it's been too long to play along with this, but I'm sure I can come up with a BS excuse (vacation, etc..).

Hmm.. But I can't get private registration on the domain.

At times like this I wish I did register it though 1&1.
