Flippa And Xyz Numbers

[Theo]

Some sellers there try to pull a fast one, using XYZ metrics to claim their domains are worth a lot.

Are Flippa buyers that stupid? Seems more of an eBay tactic they should be using. Just saying.

Yes, Flippa buyers are that stupid. How many sites do you see claiming $x,xxx profit per month with xxx uniques per month that actually sell. Too many.

The problem is that the seller is using "reputable sources" to pitch his sale. See where the problem with XYZ gets complicated?

You got me I suppose.

<-- still .xyz supporter, repping the colors.

Supposedly, you get paid.

I just commented on that thread. I hope the buyer takes it as a sign of support not as the joke it really is.

Your sarcastic reply makes others think that it is valuable. There will be other .xyz sales that will be higher, like the "premiums". Don't get his hopes too high.

Speaking of which, I was trying to find auctions. I like how they compare what appears to be a beat up 1985 Honda .Com to a 2014 Audi R8 V10 .XYZ Edition.

Only person getting a R8 out of this is Negari.

His hopes are already high! $499 hasn't met his ridiculous reserve.

It stuns me that people will throw money at an unproven extension.

I should apply for domaining.edu and we should teach these bidders a thing or two.

Apply for some type of educational accreditation first. Or, you can always go with the unregulated .education.

I once applied for SEO.EDU, but my application obviously got declined.

The seller now left a comment stating he did not verify the numbers he's linking to. How can he?
Either way, Flippa should pull the listing, not allow such information to be used as official metrics.

Yes, flippa should be banned.

Wait, what was the question posed by Domaingang?
