Rick Schwartz’s Generous Offer Further Proves There Will Be Leechers In Vegas

It's a VERY simple thing. If you come to Vegas to meet and greet TRAFFIC attendees and don't have a ticket or pay for a sponsorship, you are leeching off the money and hard work that brought everyone to town. Yes, it's a free country. You can talk and do business with whomever you like, whenever you like. And yes, it's nice to be in a place that is full of all of your customers or potential customers. But behind all those people is a reason they are there. A team that worked, planned, and put out money to have them there. If that didn't happen they wouldn't be there. And therefore if you travel to mo... Read More »

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Sunday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 28th

Bought a name on Cax.com the past week.  Another CVCV.  The price was 10X what I offered (I still offered quite a bit, still near mid X,XXX) but it proves it doesn't hurt to make an offer.  All they can say is no.  Of course we're not talking a $50 offer either.  I'm kind of tired from a little run I did yesterday so let's get right to the names.

Lesson Number 324: Check to See If the Domain You Are Buying Has Been Whored Out

We all want a virgin domain.  A domain that was owned by non domain investor. A domain that has never been offered for sale but has some age.  Those domains require a lot of leg work and a lot of time.  The reward is the untapped possibility that you are going to sell it for a great return because it hasn't been priced or had a value placed on it by the general public. While it doesn't mean that a domain that has been offered on forums and multiple brokers is tainted goods, it does mean that either the previous owner wanted too much or the buyers weren't interested.  You will eventually find out ...
