spyware.com being auctioned

[revolution1]

Sahar Sarid is auctioning his name spyware.com off at the next traffic conference. He has set a reserve at 995 000k and says he thinks that it will sell in the 3-5 million range. Great name. Thoughts?

I'd like to know if he spent more than $50k buying it.

 

[sashas]

for all you know, he might've hand regged it. Its got a 2000 creation date, and spyware is a relatively new phenomenon on the internet. Before that, they restricted themselves to just trojans and viruses.

 

[intellect]

My Opinion is the prior buy amount is not even relevant. You should make any purchase on current market values.

 

[DomainsInc]

He'll never get that much. Even wallstreet.com couldn't sell for that amount at the last auction.

 

[Theo]

Some prices are over-inflated. I doubt the reserve will be met, unless it's a well-designed PR stunt and the deal is already sealed.

I doubt he will get 3-5M for it. 1M would be nice.
Good name though.

Spyware.com was registered august 2000......apparently it was available when I registered SpyBugs.com in january of 2000.

I guess thats another million or two I lost out on....oh well its only money :sigh2:

 

[GAMEFINEST]

Not bad for a 2000 reg...

 

[dcristo]

3-5M WTF just slightly optimistic

 

[loscocco]

yeah thats a bit stretching it.. i say about 1.2m

 

[revolution1]

its a great name i do think that comparing it to many other 1mil plus names that it ranks up there.

Spyware.com should be ranked #1 in Google for it's keyword, period. Drive up those earnings before the auction, and market it for sale with x 100 current revenue levels. If I emailed Sahar telling him I could do it within a reasonable amount of time, I doubt he would respond to my email. :lol::lol::lol:

Back in the old school days, I used to make X,XXX per day off this keyword doing arbitrage. Too bad I don't have a mill to invest.

 

[wangjinhk]

Maybe $x,xxx,xxx?

 

[Domainator]

Absolutely agree with Acro on this!

It's better than all the .mobi names combined.

How can you say that, spyware.mobi looks like the sheeeet

Ooops, meant to exclude that one. :smilewinkgrin:

 

[revolution1]

if previous sales are any indicator of the value of this name then i think it should be one of the tops of all time. I am still in disbelief about the sale price of seniors.com even if we have an aging population that name sold for quadruple of what i think it is worth.

My 2 cents.

 

[gmac17]

doesn't he say it brings in $100k per month parked? If that is the case those numbers aren't too far off.
