Hey all!

I'm the mcdonald kid. I didnt really exaggerate at all. I actually did sell QSD.com for $12k, it was in DNjournal. And as for it all starting with QSD.com, I formed my business on Sept 1st 2007, Ive know about domains though since 04/05 but never really had any sales until 07. I dont ever remember saying I grossed $325k, no idea how that number was created.

Overall, though it was a great article.

Nice thread Tony....It's about time that business publications started taking the domain business seriously IMO

When I first spoke with Charlie Foster, he wanted to write the article on CyberSquatters. But once he began talking with everyone, he realized domaining isnt a negative business and he ended up writing a positive article on domains.

Did you really buy a 3 letter .com for $620 in 2007? I find that hard to believe.

 

[karter9977]

Yes.

Everyone is asking me the same question. It was an expiring name, so I tracked down the owner and he told me he was going to let it expire. So I offered him $600 plus paypal fees and he accepted it, he did have to pay $80 to get it out of the grace period though.

Adam is the nicest person I've had the pleasure of not meeting twice! :smilewinkgrin:

A great example of what working smart and hard can result in - just look at how much DNF$ he has

Seriously - Congrats Adam!

Nice article, but i wish it had been longer with more interviews. Domains really seem to be defying the economy.

It started last September, when he paid $620 for the Internet domain name qsd.com and, two weeks later, sold it for $12,000 to a fellow domain trader, or "domainer."

Who sold qsd.com for $620 (as of September 2007)??

 

[acronym007]

Finally some good publicity for Adam!

 

[NetworkMsia]
