Are you aware of previous .co domain sales?

[james2002]

I wonder you are aware of previous domain sales for .co extension.

 

[seanboy]

The only one i know of is e.co.

 

[snicksnack]

not aware of any, I guess everyone is waiting fro traffic details and the auction from the landrush.

I am aware that the whole thing is a scam. I will sit back and watch a bunch of people sell to themselves, and then lie about selling names to their friends, then lie about selling names to end-users. Then I will watch it get reported on Dn Journal and laugh as all of the pumpers run around huffing and puffing.

It is a SCAM and a JOKE, like 99 percent of all other extentions. History repeats itself. It can never be a serious extentions because only an imbecile or mental midget of the millionth degree would ever invest serious time or money into a .co site if they didn't already own the dotcom. All of the speculators have the names that get traffic, and there is zero chance for end-user adoption. The party is over before it begins, as usual. There will be clowns who put up moronic sites like they did with dotmobi.

You can check out the scam that was http://www.sportsbook.mobi/ and see how pitiful it will all be. They even convinced Dn Journal to publicize the sale as over 120K. Sorry, Charlie, but these scammers who pull these stunts are never outed in public.....mostly those who raise questions about the scams are chased away from the forums. More on the sportsbook.mobi scam below. Nobody takes responsibility for reporting these scam sales that never happened.

http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/domainsales/2007/domainsales01-23-07.htm

This time it was Sportsbook.mobi commanding the big bucks - a whopping $129,800 in a private sale that we carefully examined during our verification process.


The seller, Sule Garba, originally brought the sale to our attention soon after it was completed in mid-December. He was willing to make details of the deal public but the buyer, who wishes to remain anonymous, wanted to delay an announcement while he pursued other related domains he had his eye on (it is our policy to honor non-disclosure requests that come from either party to a transaction). This week, the buyer (whose identity we know) agreed to release the information and the broker he was working with to acquire domains, SpareDomains.com, sent us the documentation we require before reporting a sale.

The exchange was handled by Escrow.com so I called the company's president, Brandon Abbey, to verify the information I had been given was accurate and that his company had completed the transfer of both the money and the domain. Abbey had to secure permission from both the buyer and seller before he could comment on the transaction, but once he had done so, he confirmed that the money was paid and the name delivered to the new owner.

The most amazing thing about this deal is that Garba says he registered the domain by hand in October for just over $30! The name was apparently registered during the .mobi sunrise period for trademark holders but was then released back into the general registration pool, possibly because the trademark claim was ruled to be invalid by the registry. Garba just happened to be at the right place at the right time.

Scammer even started a thread.

Have fun, geniuses.

.co is gonna be massive,give up your .com's and sell them to me cheap because they will be worthless soon..........LOL

.com king and will always be........remember what i said ;-)

 

[ekman77]

Have you noticed the massive registrations .co is getting right now. I know that there are only about 7.000 LLL.co's left. Almost 1/2 million (est.) registered already. Its only been a few days. I have registered some LLL.co's and have already gotten offers on two of them. I also noticed about 25 -30 hits just yesterday on about 5 of my .co's already. Someone is going to them... I do feel like .co is going to be way more successful then the last failed extentions released in the past. I am not sure why there are so many negative posts about .co's. Either they didnt get thier names they wanted, or they are worried that it will devalue their .com's. But what do I know. I am a newbie. lol
