    I Ask for their Budget, Not an Offer

    It's not a tactic I like or would use personally. Brad

    Gasjew is not for Sedo

    "Las Vegas jewelry" is offensive, but if you want to buy antijew.com or antijews.com, both are listed on the SEDO marketplace. 🤡 Brad

    Do you know what happened to namepoos?

    There are a number of reasons namepoos is not as active as in the past. Some are their fault. Some are just the field in general. It kind of peaked during the early days of COVID, then faded like many things. You would probably see a similar trend line with other alternative investments like...

    Domain REIT

    Domain investing works because of the inefficient market IMO. In my view, most domains are a bad fit when it comes to an ETF type situation. They are not liquid and prices are highly subjective. The same portfolio could yield wildly different results based on business models and other...

    The yearly renewal fee kills the value IMO. It is too much of a burden unless you have some type of plan. Brad

    Realtor Trademark

    Yeah, a lot of people don't realize "realtor" is a trademark term. Terms like real estate, homes, realty, etc. are generics in the field. Brad

    A domain taken by the NEW Epik.com - Developing Story

    GoDaddy could probably do more, but you are dealing with a large public company with bureaucracy and a large legal staff. This involves multiple parties and any action could also open GoDaddy up to liability. Let's break down the parties - Epik. The party responsible. At worst they suffered...

    A domain taken by the NEW Epik.com - Developing Story

    I am no GoDaddy defender. I have had many issues with them. With that being said, I don't really understand the logic here. Is it surprising that a domain ends up with the largest registrar, by far? Not really. They have around as many domains at the next 10 most popular registrars combined...

    For those who doubted Swetha

    The interesting thing is despite these sales, it seems like there is not that much .XYZ usage. Meanwhile, .AI is showing actual usage. You figure with that many reported high dollar sales, there would be more usage. Brad

    A domain taken by the NEW Epik.com - Developing Story

    I agree. It was "legitimate" as far as the buyer goes, but it is still stolen property. Right now the only party taking a loss is Dan. Epik, GoDaddy, and the customer are not. Epik is the party that should be taking any loss. It is their fault, and they don't seem to be doing all that much...

    A domain taken by the NEW Epik.com - Developing Story

    Look at this from GoDaddy's point of view... 1.) The entity Epik LLC is not an actual ICANN accredited registrar. I am not sure why they would have any real standing to deal with GoDaddy. 2.) Epik's reputation is in the toilet, for good reason. Who can trust any word they say? This is a...

    Who's a larger monopoly realtor or godaddy?

    GoDaddy certainly has a massive market share, with around the same amount of domains as the next 10 registrars combined. However, I am not sure that qualifies as a monopoly. Just because you are a market leader, doesn't mean you are a monopoly. They offer the same services as many other...
