Wife worths 4 times more than her husband

Interesting record, these two domains were also in Traffic West Live Auction last year (Feb 2008).

Wife.com - $250,000
(Reserve didn't meet, PASS) Net loss in 2009 - $150,000

Husband.com - $100,000
Net loss in 2009 - $75,000

Interesting stats. Wife being the shorter has an advantage over husband in terms of brandable and easier to pronounce. The price cut could be because the seller is in desperation to gather back his@her funds?

Can't lose something you likely never had... if you follow me.

The bids at domain auctions that are below the reserve price are often just made up and pulled out of the air by the auctioneer "bidding on behalf of the seller." Unless you were there in person and saw legit bids being made with people raising their paddles or online bids being made, you can't really tell what names that did not sell were actually bid up to.

Lucky they didn't ask 7-figures, now they would have had a bigger "Net loss in 2009" :smilewinkgrin:

 

[Yum]

Btw,where is DFG live auction???

 

[SuperDomains.com]

These are very good domain names that will be worth a lot more than their asking prices in the future. Domain names will continue to outperform all real estate classes into the future.

wife=porn

yes

 

[cucu72]

Is there any history of any transactions on these names in the past? Then you can really say there was a loss/gain of the initial investment? Hard to use reserves or estimates as true valuations of worth.

hmmm wonder how deposits.com will do as "no reserve" in the Feb 26 Sedo auction?

The damn economy

I'd put more of the blame on the auction houses for pushing lower reserves, I would of never allowed husband.com to be auctioned off for that low, and they still have to deduct 15% commission; $3750 -25K = $21,250

Perhaps the sellers were led to believe it would fetch more, and that a low reserve encourages more bidding..... Doesn't always work that way.

 

[dvdrip]

It never works that way when end users are not involved.

Sedo is particularly bad about pushing no/low reserve auctions. My rep tried to get me to offer an XX,XXX domain for no reserve in their "highly advertised" premium auction.

HA!

 

[dvdrip]

Never ever do that unless you are in for a big surprise.
Sedo tried that with me as well. I said NO.
"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Wife.com $100,000 because on that domain you can build a porn site

It pains me to see prices this low. I wouldn't have let the pair go for even twice the sell price. A double brand / double url gift store would have been a great development direction.
