KerryEdwards.com sold $100,000

[MediaHound]

I just got off the phone.
KerryEdwards.com just sold for $100,000 today.

 

[Steen]

Should I know who that is?

 

[MediaHound]

Kerry's running mate.

 

[Nameable]

Can we get some kinda verification?

A link perhaps? This would be on CNN if they knew and could confirm. It would definitely help raise the profile of the industry even further.

It would definitely help raise the profile of the industry even further.

Actually It would probably not bode well for the industry and may raise the questions of cyber squatting again. Large companies LOVE to play that card to their advantage because it just lowers their acquisition costs.

http://www.kerryedwards.org appears to be an active site

What the KerryEdwards.org site will do next:

KerryEdwards.org has another online operation that will be announced in the nearest days. The project will again be not affiliated with any campaign and again delve into an area that cannot be easily handled by official campaign sites.

What should bail bondsman Kerry Edwards do with his Web site kerryedwards.com?

Keep it
Sell it to the Democrats
Give it to the Democrats

That is, at best, very lucky indeed!

Looks like my prediction has already come true.....

Election brings windfall for cybersquatter

That is pretty crude to call a person a cybersquatter when he registered the domain for his son whose name happens to be Kerry Edwards. Very bad taste indeed but more demonization to further a larger agenda.

Still forsale on Sedo

doesn't he become a cybersquatter when hes trying to make money out of John Kerry ? If John Kerry was called Fred Jones would the name still be worth 150k

 

[MGunnin]

Alittle to rich for my blood.

So if I understand you, if the ticket in 2008 is Henry Whois & Samantha Search and they offer you 150K for whois-search.com, you're not selling?

I am trying to sell bushcheney2004.info on ebay now... think there will be any takers?

I'd bet that someone will go for it. The Democrats might pay top dollar!

This Cybersquatter name is abused more than what it stands for. If he wants $1000,000 for it, its his right regardless of any particular reason he brought the domain. Popularity does not claim ownership. Legal title on property does. If John Kerry became famous, too bad for him. No one spoke of him few months ago either....

Your confusing cybersquatting with price gouging. But it's not even gouging at this point.

Anyway, please disregard my first post in this thread. The seller did not cooperate with the sale.

 

[Mr. Deleted]

More power to him!!! I'd keep it and direct it to bush's site!

The guys name is Kerry Edwards. Not to be confused with cyber squater.

I think biznews agrees with you. Read his post again, and what he was replying to...

He's not calling Kerry Edwards a cybersquatter! He's saying he's not.
