[eddie1278]

I was hoping to get a deal on that name:laugh: oh well i tried
(I knew i wasn't getting a deal just bored and tried)
Here is a copy of the email sent to me:

Thank you for your inquiry.

The assets of Ads.com are now under the control of a group of Ads.com's Noteholders led by Odyssey Capital of San Francisco. It is Odyssey's intention to sell Ads.com's assets individually to the highest bidders, and they have asked me to facilitate that process.

The "ads.com" domain has recently been independently appraised at $450,000. I will be notifying all those who have inquired - along with approximately 50 companies that have reason to want the name - that Odyssey will sell the name to the first company that submits a bona fide offer at that price. If no bona fide offers at the appraised value are received by January 26th, 2003 (Super Bowl Sunday), a public auction will be held on eBay, and the name will be sold to the highest bidder (assuming a minimum acceptable price is met).

In addition to "ads.com", the following domain names are also for sale:

ads.tv ($150,000)
adsavant.com
adsavant.net
adsavant.org
adsavant.biz
adsavant.info
adumentary.com
insideads.com
totallycommercial.com

hey eddie, i know who reads f*ckedcompany.com, they mentioned the domain there.

i personally had to email the ads.com people 5 times before they responded to me

hehe I got that email too (only had to email once, though). It's funny how we're all hunting for the same names!

 

[cluelessdomainer]

bet the name sells for less than 100k if at all

I came in second place bidding on ads.com on Ebay several years ago. The winning bid was $2K.

I can pay $500,000 -- $1/yr, for 500,000 years.

i bet you're bonking your head for that every day...

Could someone explain to me why www.Ads.com is worth $50,000, much less ten times that? What buyer wants to see ads?

ads.com is an absolutely top notch name for an advertising agency, etc. Furthermore the original use of the website, as an archive for interesting or entertaining ads, is fundamentally a good concept. Is it worth 500k though? No, not in todays market.
