I have blogged more in the last week than in the last month and this will stop shortly because it is entirely unproductive except to rant and rave about a few things and sell a few names. Funny enough we rarely sell domains through auction platforms – sure, a few like anybody else every month [...]

About a year ago I looked up the first domain we ever sold. Strangely enough there were ads on the site … who would have thunk ….

Coming Out…
One domain changed my life. It’s funny how things come together and how one minute you are fighting for a sales lead and then, within days, leads are coming to you. That’s what $35 did for me many years ago – and yes, I even had 30 days to pay (Network Solutions would send [...]
