<-- Really Mad I Took Off For A Couple Of Days.. I Bet You The Buyers Are Happy. I Would Have Bought Every One And Gave Them A $600 Bonus For Doing The Deals.

That was the steal of the century...

Wait a sec, who is a happy new owner(s)?

 

[ktechsite]

all i can say

is

wow

 

[tetrapak]

Wait a sec, who is a happy new owner(s)?

A person from Bangkok of the lll.com's, and an NP staff of the lll.org's.
And i also believe that it was a marketing technique. Just imagine 200 sales of their crappy 500$ domains, and 100k there you go..

 

[mediawizard]

Well I know who won't ever be getting my portfolio to manage or sell

Kind of funny if you think about it.

Good Luck to those who 'got some'.

Well known marketing trick ...

Expensive marketing trick though - I bet DCG would've reskinned this forum in bright red for a lot less....:approve:

A better trick would've been to alert the domaining community that they were going to release a number of LLL.coms over the next few weeks at say $999, one at a time, first come first served - whipping up a frenzy of interest. No good saying 'here's what you could've won...'

I'd say this was a balls up - not a marketing strategy.

Amazing... The guy from bangkok made his best deal

 

[DomainMagnate]

I bet this guy is now the most hated domainer of the day

I bet this guy is now the most hated domainer of the day

only a day?

Just imagine how many people are going to write or ring him...

 

[ARMG]

This was definitely a Marketing stunt. I just went trough all their domains and I couldn't find one domain worth anything, most of the domains are typos of domains... Like I thought to have found the steal of the year BlindDates.com but it was BindDates.com And they have changed their asking prices to $1,200 now.

NameBio should remove these sales. They distort the numbers.

Sales are sales. If I bought LLL.com for $500k just because I really wanted it, would you want that disregarded too?

 

[GUA]

Its kinda annoying when you save up $10k to buy an LLL.com and see these

This will never happen. One thing you can expect from NameBio is the truth, regardless of how it may "impact" the numbers. There is no question here that LLL.com's consistently gain month after month and are one of the safest bets in the industry.

This tiny issue simply indicates a mistake from one huge portfolio holder. This wasn't a marketing gimmick, this was a clear and dumb error.

When people go to analyze the sales data, if they do proper homework, they will understand that these were "fluke" sales. They happen. Every domainer worth his his salt would be salivating if presented with these deals which is another reason I reported this on our Blog, and in several forum postings.

Transparency is needed in our industry, in nearly every sector. That is going to be the only way we will ever legitimize ourselves.

Domains that are undervalued in a big way should not be included in sales figures.
If i sell my home for $1 to a friend...that doesn't mean it should be recorded as the current valued price.

 

[katherine]

Dump sales of LLL like that should be outlawed IMO - unless I am the buyer of course :smilewinkgrin:
What do you think Sen. Snowe ? :lol:

No one is using this sales data to justify LLL.com's having lost value. Infact, NameBio only reports the domain sales (as it currently stands). It is my opinion that any repository of information should be as complete and accurate as possible, even with the rare occasion that a domain sells well below wholesale value or even well above it.
