Happens Every Day: Guy Buys Two Domains From Me on Sedo for $1400 and Lets Them Expire

May 11, 2012

Things like this don’t surprise me any more but I still have to shake my head. I was doing my daily run through of the expiring auctions at Godaddy and noticed two domains that looked familiar. Wuby and Vuby.com. They were two names that I sold at auction to the same person on Sedo in 2010. Evidently he lost track of his purchases and forgot to renew them at which Godaddy takes over and puts them up for auction. I actually could care less that they expired except for one thing. Vuby.com sold for more than twice what I … FULL ARTICLE »

Friday’s Big List of Domains at Auction or Dropping Around The Internet 5-11-12

May 11, 2012

Ahhhhh. My first day off of the year. It feels so good. I needed a battery recharge and it was obvious in these posts. The links were messed up and sloppy. But when you are writing them while falling asleep, mistakes are bound to happen. My daughter is in the track state championships today and tomorrow. I’m proud she’s in them as a 6th grader (she’s in for pole vault and a few other events) but she’s competing against girls two grades higher so it should be a day of setting new goals rather than accomplishing them. Now on to … FULL ARTICLE »

Dot Co Wants To Have Their Cake, Eat It, and Then Throw it At the Domain Investor Who Baked It

May 10, 2012

Of course I have to chime in on the beatdown of Juan Calle and dot co regarding the video of the LeWeb “Couldn’t get the dot com so I’ll take the dot co” story. Let’s start at the very beginning. Columbia could have easily been dot .col to keep it from being confused or from being a typo. It wasn’t, and from day one drew the typo lovers right out of the gate. Negativity from the get go in the footsteps of the dot cm disaster. Along come the dot co team and does an excellent job marketing the name … FULL ARTICLE »

May 9, 2012

I’m looking for a new tool to search the drops if anyone wants to point me in the right direction.

Hell, if you get right down to it I’d love someone to build me a tool that does all the things I need to search for. Enough about my problems, here are today’s names.
