whisky.com on SEDO auction

[petrosc]

what do you think it will sell for? It's currently at 200k, reserve not met

If I recall correctly the registrant of whiskey.com(not whisky.com) and bourbon.com wants $2M for both , whiskey.com and whisky.com have similar ovt numbers, around 55

Could have sworn the correct spelling was 'whiskey'.

Hold up, lemme go check that bottle of Jack D I have laying around....

Yup! Whiskey!

 

[petrosc]

lol yeah both are correct spellings

Ballantines has Whisky written on it for example

 

[DNP]

gin.com has been sold for $250.000 to reseller
vodka.com has been sold for $3.000.000 to end-user


I think whisky.com will go for $450.000

 

[Seraphim]

The reserve was met for whisky.com after the first bid, then it switched to reserve not met, then the third bid pulled it back to reserve met, now it's back at reserve not met again. Hmm...

 

[DNP]

whiskey.com regged since 1994, whisky.com regged since 1995 btw

 

[petrosc]

if compared to vodka.com, based on ovt and geo popularity, I'd also say 500k would be fair for an end user

Vodka.com was not sold to an "end-user" per se, it was sold to a vodka manufacturer. I'd justify a high selling price for whisky.com (odd spelling indeed) if it went to a manufacturer of the spirit. Also, the bids in the Sedo auction look as if someone is fishing for the reserve.

From Wikipedia:

"The spelling whisky (plural whiskies) is generally used for whiskies distilled in Scotland, Wales, Canada, and Japan, while whiskey is used for the spirits distilled in Ireland. A 1968 directive of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms specifies "whisky" as the official U.S. spelling, but allows labelling as "whiskey" in deference to tradition; most U.S. producers still use the latter spelling, Early Times being one of the few exceptions."

I always ordered a "Scotch" on the rocks.

 

[BidNo]

I'm getting thirsty!

You're invited Richard - in fact we had a few bottles last night after a 9h poker marathon in my new place LOL

Not going to reach reserve at Sedo this time.
Owner is shooting for an end-user/manufacturer and there are not such guys at sedo auctions - just resellers.

(I may be wrong but I can bet some F$)
