Selling a domain name at an online auction may be lucrative - but many sellers completely misjudge the advertise and truly live in Fantasy Land. For instance, take a look at this auction of 14 domain names (StemCellLines.net, StemCellLines.org, StemCellColonies.com, StemCellColonies.net, StemCellColonies.org, StemCellMart.com, StemCellMart.net, StemCellMart.org, StemCellResearching.com, StemCellResearching.org, StemCellResearching.net, StemCellStore.com, StemCellStore.net, StemCellStore.org). The auction supposedly includes "web site research info" - but the listing doesnt even mention what this is, so we can evaluate the offering. But a price of $25 million. There were no takers at all for this silly offer.
Here are other inflated domain title
auctions:
* Names: Devilthinking.com/net/org and Devilthought.com/net/org. Asking price: $1 million. This seller tried to take advantage of headline atrocities (such as a recent beheading of an American soldier in Iraq) to justify his asking price
* Names:www.UN.TV; www.UnitedNations.TV; and the phone number: 1(800) WWW.UN.TV. Asking price: $5 million.
* Names: TeenExtremeScore.com, TeenScore.com, TeenForYou.com. Asking price: $2 million.
* Names: praisegod.tv. Asking price: $1,300,000. This listing was strangely written |
