holy crap, that is a ton of money. I fail to see how this is going to pay for it's self.

If you read the auction description, so far the site has made $0. Though, I agree, with that many hits they could make a lot off of advertising.

When IPChicken.com goes on eBay it will be a big thing, but not this.

hismajesty · February 18, 2005, 07:24 PM

I personally find $37,000 for a domain name to be a pretty big thing.

Blaze · February 18, 2005, 07:49 PM

How much was america.com going for a while ago? and what about get-a-life.com?

Selling domains isn't a big deal..

hismajesty · February 18, 2005, 07:52 PM

I don't know, I don't pay attention to the domain market.

I used whatismyip a lot more than ipchicken, and I didn't even know what ipchicken was until maybe a year or more after I found whatismyip.

Blaze · February 18, 2005, 07:57 PM

Well, I guess its more of a deal to you then it is to me. I'm interested into seeing what it turns out being, a big advertisement, or will it stay the same(ish)...

There is a pretty huge markey dedicated to domain reselling these days, I saw a story on cnn about a guy/girl who tried to sell www.tsunamirelief.com or something very similiar to that just after the tidal wave in south eastern Asia for around $50,000 USD. Keep your eye out for marketing pitches and subsequently register the according the domain

, you might find yourself making alot of money.

quasi-modo · February 22, 2005, 06:05 PM

yeah, but I heard that there was some sort of scandal with that domain. Like someone bought it and sold it cheap to a person they thought was going to use it for a charitable website and he sold it on ebay for a ton of money or something.

ps: the domain is up to about 110,000 now.

Sold! Winning bid: US $386,100.00

What's sad is you know the company is probably going to have to use spam/popups to get it all back. What a waste of money.

CrAz3D · February 23, 2005, 09:04 PM

I need to make a domain that is INSANELY trendy & then sell it!

sray390 · February 23, 2005, 09:48 PM
