Domain Wars

Here are some of my domain war stories - I'm sure other people have some good ones too.

- I got an offer of $70k for webtraffic.com from a French outfit. I turned it down and later sold it for $20k.

- I let NetBet.com go - couldn't figure out a use for it. Doh!

- I sold NetBusiness.com for $20k to the guy with the 'Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!" company. He sold it a month later to Netscape. Not sure for how much - I heard $100k.

- I sold WebStreetJournal.com for $5k after the lawyer said 'Forget it. The WSJ will come after you big time if you try to use it.'

- I gave NetVet.com to my pal with a cat-sitting gig. He sold it to a vet in Kansas 6 months later for $10k.

And the one I can't figure out - ArchiveVault.com . I love that domain but practically couldn't give it away. I sold it for $900. BTW - the site is still up & for sale - see it at Welcome to ArchiveVault.com

Life in the Wild West - ain't it great? Sure wish I had a crystal ball! lol

    You may have some regrets but overall it sounds like you have done very well. Even the NetVet domain that you gave away. Being able to help a friend is way more valuable than the 10k you might have made in my book.

      Skystar,

      Can you share with us how you go about finding buyers for your domains? That might be a helpful lesson for aspiring domainers.

      Thanks for the thread.

    It sounds to me like you have heavy regret but you did make some great money from these domain names.

    Maybe if you waited a few more years, those domains would probably be worth more.
