Thanks!

 

[StianStian is verified member.]

Nice list. Thanks.

 

[jasdon11]

Rick Latona recently sold MCC.com - didn't know it was fourth ever domain.

 

[bwhhisc]

Interesting that it took over 2 1/2 years to get to the first 100 names registered.

 

[Focus]

I really should sell some of them......muhahaha

 

[NostraDomainus]

I just missed the list @ 101 with:

MyFirstHandReggedDomainThatWillMakeMeMillionsOnceAnEndUserContactsMeButIWillProbablyNeverGetAPhoneCallOrEmailEverJustBecauseOfThisOne-Hypen.com

GL to the first 100 - I hope they fair better than I.

 

[Justin Hulsey]

Wow that is a nice list. Thanks for sharing!

 

[raoul]

comon guys, as domainers u should know this list out of your brain.

Why? I'm not a historian...

 

[Deleted member 111831]

only took them what, 5 years to figure out sex.com was a good domain

 

[jasdon11]

only took them what, 5 years to figure out sex.com was a good domain

Took me 18 years to find out that any domains were good....in 20 years time, I'll be crowing that I got in early :approve:

 

[PRED]

this list gets posted every 2 weeks.

i would be interested if someone could post the first 1000 or 5000 tho

 

[draggar]

I'm shocked that Microsoft isn't even on that list.

 

[Theo]

Here's a list from December 1987.

I'm shocked that Microsoft isn't even on that list.

Bill discovered the Internet in 1991.

 

[Dale Hubbard]

There was a 1987 on here recently for little money. No continuity devalued it as I recall.

 

[kwok]

I don't own sri.com (# 8), but I do have sriy.com (A last name)
Nice list!

 

[HomerJ]

and how much did a domain cost to register in 1985?

 

[Kventures]
