I dont know - but must be good to sell for $133k

You know, I don't think this domain was worth more than some of the other major ones recently sold, even though it fetched more.

Think about this vs hotdate.com

The latter must be more used and could more easily be well developed for profit, yet this went for more than double.

**imported_sparky** · 08-10-2005, 10:35 AM

Yeah - thats what I dont understand - why?

**gprime** · 08-10-2005, 10:35 AM

An idiot overbid I guess?

Don't we all. My family could afford it, but not me personally.

**Quicksilver** · 08-10-2005, 10:45 AM

Doesnt seem like a very great domain name, oh well.

**Quicksilver** · 08-10-2005, 11:00 AM

That actually doesnt sound that bad heh.

**gprime** · 08-10-2005, 11:00 AM

Maybe not, but its long as hell.

**imported_sparky** · 08-11-2005, 04:23 AM

Imagine the amount of typos if people were typing that in

**Quicksilver** · 08-11-2005, 04:25 AM

True, well I guess the bigger the domain name the more typos then huh?

**imported_sparky** · 08-11-2005, 04:27 AM

Yep - and more opportunites for people tro register typos and steel your traffic

**admin_old** · 08-11-2005, 04:58 AM

For that long named domain. I could image a lot of combinations with that one. You would have to spend thousands just to register them all! (Being sarcastic)

Hehe, you should add sarcastic tags that turn the text to green or something.
