Thank-you for writing. I was merely seeking advice with regard to leasing my domain.

when will the madness stop?

Oh and I hope you know how many waterblocks are out there.
Jesus christ, you are making a product for an industry with very fierce competition, and you expect it to even sell?

If you could have made $20k in the last 2 weeks you would have done it. I don't care how much it interests you.

exactly. You would not be here asking for "leasing help" if you could have made anything over even $1k in 2 weeks pal

There's a decent amount of decent watercool setups out there, why would you want to design a whole new block when there's so many good ones out there that are imported from Asia cheap as hell?

The name is good, but I think you are way off on the value. You might want to message overclocking sites like ocz and see what they would offer you. I would assume it would bring you back down to earth.

Don't get me wrong, there is definately a market for watercooling, as any computer geek in here would agree. And yes, setups run in the hundreds in price - but without advertising you can't get the price you are looking for.

If you are interested, I have a friend that runs a tech/geek benchmark site and would be happy to talk to him about setting something up to where you have all that desperate traffic come his way and we would fulfill the orders and cut you in on half the profit. That would probably be a better, more attractive situation for all. His traffic is pretty nice, his site is one of the sites listed on a major motherboard box.

PM if you might be interested.

If I don't have time to develop it, how can I move it? All I can do is project based on experience.

I agree there are good ones out there, but I am an innovator and I feel strongly that I could produce a better block from Canada and offer it at a lower price. My overhead here is really quite low.

You don't beleive that a dedicated watercooling company could do $1,500/day in sales? What is that now? 5 kits and some accessories? I think a good web site like that could do $1,500 within 6-12 months with very little advertising costs.

Just being on the Internet is advertising? You have to have a small advertising budget.

Of course I am interested.

$250 month is the minimum any domain name lease should be set at. Any lower, the owner should just purchase the name.

I should have been more specific in my original request: by "leasing help" I meant 'constructive advice' on how to be a lessee. That would have included contract development with a particular emphasis on pricing based on a 24 month period. I also wanted a modest income ($400-$600monthly) from a web site that would take up very little of my time. I am in the midst of 37 different projects right now. It's really quite amusing actually.

Hmm.... if you can make $20k in 2 weeks I think you would find the time to do it.

That is what I've been reading. Please read back a few posts for my patient reply.

You're obviously unaware that on average a watercooling kit sells for around $175USD per unit. 3 units a day? Any one in this business can do that on a monthly basis. I am not trying to bloat my domain, I am merely trying to get constructive dialogue to help me offer a fair price to a potential lessee.
Offcourse that doesnt interest you. After all, who needs $480.000,00 of addizional income per year.. Yeah, thats just half of a million.. Who needs that.. CMON, stop bullshitting us :D :D

No offense, but I find this very hard believable..

If you could generate $40K per month, you would have made it. Dont bullshit us! For that kind of money you could get your own staff, 20 of them and pay them 1K each, and still keep $20K. And we all know you dont need 20 people for this kind of job. SO STOP THE BULLSHIT!!?

I manage several web sites, one of which is www.clearpc.ca the most widely sold acrylic chassis in the world. I am not at liberty to tell you many things about my company, but I would like to say that I do not have time to develop Watercooling.Com. My valuation of the domain is based on my experience in computing and internet business. Your verbal attacks are unwarranted. I've asked for advice regarding the simple art of leasing the domain and I've read 2 well-written posts in that regard on DN Forum. Before you post again, I would advise you to refer to the subject line of the thread I've started and continue your dialogue from that view point.

I should also point out that we employ a staff of 8 at this writing.

Thank-you for your response to my original query. I am quickly learning that this forum is a waste of time but for some reason, I cannot look away.

Lighten up. Heard of "humor". Please see my original post, where I answered your question.

:rolleyes:

Right.. My appologies for uncivil language, but to be honest, I meant every word of it. Your statement just sounds so made up. And if you have 8 man staff already, theres still place for 12 of them, and according to you, you would still make $20K per month. I dont know what kind of sallary you are used to, but im sure I speak for 90% of people here, when I say that they get much less than that. Actually, for many of them 20K is probally what they make in whole year, so your statement is, if nothing else, degrading.. Thats why I have reacted as I have.. No hard feelings, I wish you luck with leasing your domain, but I doubt that anyone will be ready to lease it for $600. After all the promotion they would have to make, they would still not own it. Thats my oppinion..
