And worse yet, Atom's valuation prices are seemingly the liquid price, so read that as wholesaler/reseller price. I quote chatGPT: "Imagine if Sotheby’s listed the scrap value of a painting next to the auction estimate. That’s what’s happening here."

I had a conversation with ChatGPT and the Atom MCP server. Here's how it went (see below). Note that I've prefaced my responses with "ME:" and bolded/underlined them. The rest is Chat GPT explaining that Atom's valuation tool is for reseller/liquid pricing, not for end users. It then went on...

So are you saying you'll renege on the negotiated price once you find out it's a big corporation?

Their .CA domain valuations have totally gone to shit. I just ran through about a dozen of my past sales through their appraisal tool and I would have lost over $2M in revenue from just those sales had I sold at their valuations. Even the recent sales mentioned here for Shop.ca and Pay.ca had...

While I agree there's no need to wire every room of the house with cat5 and coax, I think it's premature to completely rule it out. Starlink is slow compared to cable and cable is slower compared to fiber. So a starlink subscription might be a good backup, but not primary. Consider wiring...

Yeah, my thoughts too, but if you live in the boonies, Starlink is a godsend.

that's ridiculous. should've got all that on video...

MyID tends to get around to it whenever they get around to it. From my experience, there isn't any real need to worry, they do always get around to it. But it seems they work a few hours a week, and those hours are whenever its convenient to them, not you.

And note that it only goes to auction if at least 2 people bid $200 before the TBR session starts. Otherwise the highest bidder gets it outright, for the second highest bid price. Its a bit weird.

crap, yeah, I forgot about the whc auctions too. What did it go for?

I knew them before they were billionaires, lol, they were good guys from my experiences.

And I just love how someone with a 300 domain portfolio sells a domain and then thinks he has statistically significant data to make a comparison.

But their premium marketplace has a filter for TLDs, so..... Personally, I think it could default to .com, but premium is relative to the TLD, so the TLD filter makes perfect sense to me.
