Thursday’s Big List

By - January 26, 2012 - 0 Comments
Sedo has a pretty good auction closing today.  Going after a few names myself.  Of course you won't see those names on my list.  That would be silly.   While I have you.  Anyone interested in me doing a daily newsletter of names with no bids?   Let me know, in the meantime here are today's names. Gentler.com   Call me soft but I really like this name.  With 15 bids it seems that other people agree.  Under $500 is a good price IMO Soulmates.com  I don't think it will meet reserve but a beautiful name for a matchmaker site. BestApartment.com 13 year old domain.  I don't want AN apar... Read More »

In other words, whi... Read More »

If any of you have an extra $13, a guy over at Reddit needs a few extra dollars to renew a domain name. He's a little short and could pay you back next month or so. He'd really appreciate it. The details are below. On a side note, I was wondering if I could borrow $23.50 from someone. I forgot to pickup my dry cleaning for DomainFest and I'm a little short. I could pay you back in 5 or 6 months after Godaddy pays me for one of my premium sales. ... Read More »

Wednesday’s Big List of Domains At Auction and Dropping Around the Information Highway 1-25-12

By - January 25, 2012 - 3 Comments
Oops. Forgot to hit "publish" so a little late.  So happy to see Apple blow away the numbers. I make a lot of economic predictions and invest my money accordingly.  I've made a ton of wrong calls but I sticking to my guns in Apple over the last 10 years has more than made up for all the mistakes.  Domains can do the same thing. One great sale can more than offset the dust bunnies. Now onto the names. HealthReform.com  Now THIS is something we all need  CoffeeRoast.com  Never heard of cooking a roast basted in coffee but I may not be exactly on the right track of the definition of coffee roas...
