Can you imagine waking up to that headline?

What would you think?

What would you do?

THIS POST IS NOT BASED IN FACT AND SIMPLY MADE FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES

Never say never. It could become reality. Godaddy must be eyeing them for sure - just like us on those TBR days.

BTW, how many here are using Atom and how has been your experience?

How many domains have you sold at Atom
1.less than $10K
2.$10K to $50K
3.over $50K?

Am I on DomainGang or DN.ca? Clickbait much?

This post is 100% NOT true

Seriously, I almost choked on my coffee when I clicked on 'New Posts - Latest' and saw this title.

In the real world, GD is not going to be buying another domain marketplace anytime soon; investors are already hammering them for the expensive acquisitions of Uniregistry, Afternic and Dan (all of which have effectively been shut down) and I don't think the GD upper execs could survive another money-burning fiasco like that.

Plus, GD has already told investors that the domain aftermarket is not one of their core businesses now (more like a sideline) and that expired domains are where the real money is at. So how does one of them walk into a board meeting and say "Guess what, we just spent $125 million to buy Atom".

Andrew Miller mentioned in a podcast that he had intended to purchase Dan, but GoDaddy acquired it before he could. He discussed this in the context of his subsequent investment in Atom

Won't be cheap if they sell.
