Ours was PrimeRate.com

Like others we were watching this name sit on Afternic with a domain sponsor page for years. $100,000 was the minimum offer. Every now and then I set out to make a bid but always got side tracked.

Then, we did make a bid – offered $85,000 – seller turned it down but did provide some feedback. Off I go to Peru for a few days on a television project and say – hell with it, we will give the seller what he wants when I get back.

I’ll never forget the day before coming home. Domain was sold – after 5 years on the home page – lesson learned, and a hard one to take.

Lesson is we all become complacent and comfortable at times. If there is a name you like – do whatever you can to secure the name today… not tomorrow.

Make me us feel better :-) share your story with a comment below…
