what would you pay for such names?

 

[JuniperPark]

Yes, I agree, lets see if he responds after he returns from Amsterdam.

Cuz as we all know, it's impossible to access the inertnet from Amsterdam...

 

[Rick Latona]

I clearly need to do some serious relationship building on this board. Most people on Rick's board, GFY and Webaster World know me well. I own highly successful companies such as iWebmasters.com, CallCenterStaffLeasing.com, ConsumptionJunction (sick but gets 5 million visitors a day), WarningPages.com, and 15,000+ domains.

I took a company public on NASDAQ and have serious money to back these loans.

I'm back from Amsterdam (of course there was internet there, I was at a busy trade show) and I'm getting caught up with applications and emails first and foremost.

Anyone here can contact me directly at [email protected] or even call my cell phone during normal business hours by calling 404-664-6302.

I look forward to earning the trust of as many of you as possible.

Regarding email solicitations, we always stop if asked and we have to let you guys know we are out there. I have no regrets because we've done millions in loans during our first year and we are just getting started. I can't tell you guys examples due to confidentiality agreements with customers.

Again, I apologize for the delays. This is the only company I own that I have to do the work myself so it can be tough at times when traveling.

So, you want to earn our trust, but you admit to spamming because you "have to let [us] guys know [you] are out [t]here"? Isn't that pretty much the reason all spam exists -- people lack the creativity or morals to use other marketing means to spread the word, and resort to spamming instead? Spam, however, it is not an ethical marketing medium. As a matter of fact, there are strict policies against using WHOIS data for unsolicited emails, as you should know, being such an established domainer.

Personally, I think you would have been better off coming to these boards, and spreading the words using legitimate marketing practices, not spam. I honestly would have signed up, because I could use a little money right now. But I, too, have hangups with using an admitted spammer (who travels to Amsterdam peddling raunchy porn, no less, but that's another matter) as a business associate.

Next time, perhaps you will reconsider your choice of marketing strategies for the betterment of the Internet, and the success of your business.

Look, I don't want to get in a who's is bigger contest with you. All we do is tell people that have good names that they could get a loan if they want to. Don't try to take my birthday away for that. I can be a good friend if you let me. I know it's fun to bash people on boards but I'm not the kind of guy to bash. Can't we all just get along?

Ouch, I find this sickening...

"Its ok that we spammed you guys because business is going so well for us". I think DigiPawn is a great idea, but this business approach sure wont help your venture find as many customers as it otherwise should - with such a useful service.

No offense, Rick, but you could have used just a few thousands out of that millions to advertise your website from the beginning on domain-related websites, like you do now on DNF.
Unsolicited emails tend to make (at least some) people angry, and we can all see that in this thread.

Let's put this story behind

We don't send unsolicited "bulk" email. We cold call one at a time individuals who might be interested in doing business.

Let's put this story behind

Would love to but I'd also like to make sure I'm clear to everyone. We've never given someone money that needed it and had them complain that we contacted them.

what would you pay for such names?

About half those numbers. They are good names. What we look for is liquid value. We base our valuations on what we can sell them for the day someone defaults due to the intense amount of capital required to run a business like ours. We simply don't have the time to retail most names.

 

[Domagon]

Spam is spam - BSing folks here isn't going to get you far at DNF.

If DigiPawn is as great as you say, then there's no reason to spam; if you have so darn much money, why spam? -certainly you can afford to market it properly without the sleazy tactics ...

Like I said, we email individuals one at a time, we don't do bulk email.

 

[seeker]

not looking to argue with anyone , but lets say I send an email one at a time to all DNF members regarding my services, isnt the 'total' of emails called bulk spamming or bulk emailing???

 

[Domagon]

Then how come every email appears practically the same - and anyways, you never did answer my question ...

How much would you offer for pawning Fingerprinting.com?

Better yet, to help restore faith to the folks here ... buy the Fingerprinting.com domain. I'll sell you fingerprinting.com for way less than half price ... $15K USD ... that's even better deal than pawning.

Since you say that your company took the time to send me an email, and you have taken so much time responding to this thread, put your money where your mouth is and buy the Fingerprinting.com domain today ...

They appear the same because it is repetitive even it is one at a time. Regarding fingerprinting.com, we'd probably advance you around 4,000 on that name because I feel that is the liquid value of the name. I agree that 15,000 is the proper retail price point. You've pegged FMV well.

 

[Tippy]

I honestly didnt mind receiving your email as at the time a few bucks would have been nice, the bad part is as people have mentioned is that when these names we're then submitted to DigiPawn they we're denied... so its like making an offer and then saying nah, forget it. I dont think that goes over well with any Domainer.

I agree and we'll work on fixing that. Please accept my apologies.

Wake up, you received SPAM...do you really think anything in the email was real?

That's what spammers do, they get you to think that you are unique to their offers.

Do yourself a favor, never do business with a spammer.

 

[Tippy]

Thanks for the apology Rick, as for the other post directed at me well I dont need anyone to hold my hand or show me the way... I knew what DigiPawn was about and felt it was legit knowing who the owner was.

I very rarely receive spam emails concering purchasing my Domains, perhaps I'm lucky in that sense.

[Rick Latona]

Seems to me a related, but better business would be operating a licensed financial institution which accepted domain names as collateral for loans.

DigiPawn is a good idea, but seemingly only half-way there; their tactics of bulk spamming is indicative, in my view, that their business is flawed - if they could do regular loans they'd have tons of business - much of it by word of mouth.

Ron

Addendum ... to digress a bit, but related ... escrow.com has never sent out bulk email (spam) to the best of my knowledge and yet they get lots of business ... why... because escrow.com serve a need that few others can; truly innovative businesses tend to thrive on word of mouth alone ... end of tirade.

Ron

Banks loan out deposits. We loan out our own money. The capital required to do standard loans is immense, heck the capital required to do what we do is immense but not as immense. People can say what they want about our marketing techniques but we have money on hand and we've never screwed over a customer. I know that as long as we continue doing those two things, our business will continue to grow. Do I think that one day traditional financial institutions will accept high-value domains as collateral? Yes. But until then it's just me.

 

[Theo]

What you sent out and into my email box was pure spam. As I said, the email address used was pinched directly from the WHOIS records of a 3-letter .com domain I have listed on Sedo. That email address is less than 1 week old. So it was never used for anything, really, other than that. I wonder how my domain was chosen. Do you harvest domains parked at PPC engines? On the subject of spam, even if you send out "one at a time" it's still unsolicited email when it's part of a multi-email campaign I never opted in. Changing each corresponding domain in the body of each email does not constitute personalization or "cold call". If anything else, I've turned cold towards your service.
