My wife's name is Julie and she asked me to make her a blog. She had her heart set on my pink.ca domain to use for it but I have way too much action on that domain to tie it up right now.
So in a casual way I said, let me see if I can get you Julie.ca
I had no idea who owned it so on September 9th I made a feel it out offer of 1k on godaddy auction. I figured it was something where maybe I could feel it out and get a counter offer in response. I was figuring I would spend as high as 5k to get the domain.
Well as expected I got the big silence and never heard a thing so I never gave it another thought. I launched my wife's blog under a different domain and life went on.
Surprisingly enough I got the following counter offer today...
I have to say I kinda fell off my chair for two reasons. One is the obvious 250k (in USD no less) and the other that it took 3 months to get the response.
So jokingly I was going to post here and ask which one of you jokers owned it and how did you know it was me bidding?
I was going to say hey [notify]rlm[/notify] take it easy on me a bit.
Well well, to my surprise whois was not redacted for the domain, I had never even checked on it figuring for sure it would be privacy enabled.
So who do you think owns the domain that had the balls big enough to ask 250k usd?
Nope it was not rlm it was our friend [notify]AdamDicker[/notify]
HeHe, I know Adam from a few transactions and I had a good belly laugh.
Does anyone think I can get a discount? *ROFL*
