sara-palin.com sells for 10k on ebay!!!

[radioz]

When this deal goes through Sarah Palin might actually be a good candidate for office!

Yeah, this likely is a fake sale. There are a couple of good editorials in Newsweek this week that pretty much say the same about Sarah too. A misspelling and a '-' make for an awful name. I'll split things 50/50 if I can submit a 'hand selected' list of my domains to the guy who bought this name if the sale is real! None of my hyphens are even misspelled!

Sedo banned all candidate name domains from its marketplace.

Why did they do that? I assume TM reasons, otherwise makes no sense.

Looks like a fake bid to me.

Highest bidder joined a few days before the sale and the highest bid prior to his was $1.01

Maybe I need to put mine up on Ebay!
sarapalin.com

The domain on ebay is not misspelled. It is her actual name.

The thread starter misspelled the domain.

 

[.h2o.]

Now for the people that regged sarapalin.com and palinsucks.com now that right there is a goldmine

Actually now that I look it was the correct spelling:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sarah-Palin-com...39:1|66:2|65:13|240:1309&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

The poster just got it wrong. Apparently it does get a lot of traffic. But if the Reps dont win I can see the numbers plummeting very fast.

She will probably stay popular in either case.

VicePresidentSarah.com bin 5k if reps win a lot more

 

[silverbattle3]

How does Ron determine if sales are real?

 

[Dorkside]

Hard to imagine that this sale is legit.

Ahh, that's the sedo we know and love.

By the way, acro, what made you register oreobama? Would you share some of your thoughts please?

Peace!

Fake or not...i don't think we have seen the last of Sarah Palin. If obama wins...i bet you next election that Palin will try to run for republican party.

We'll know more Thursday. Agree with her or not, her depth of knowledge seems very light and that 'bridge to nowhere' story is a flat out lie. She was for it until it was impossible to be for it and then she kept the money. She may make Senator or Representative from Alaska (they may need one soon!) but unless and until she learns a whole lot more I believe that even Republicans will question running her again.

As to the name, I would have loved to have thought to register it. On the other hand, if I had a spare $10K (and I did my limited part helping make Verisign richer yet buying a $1.2K name last week - chicken feed to a few here!) I would invest it elsewhere. $10K is a lot of PPC and I am not quite sure who is going to want to buy the name in the 'after' after market or what one would do development wise.
