.mobi sucks and so does .me, and if he did sell it for 75k, good for him.

"Room Divider" is a good term in the US, not sure about Europe or Asia. There aren't many other 'search' terms to replace it that are as good, and the product price range is generally not cheap, and can run into the thousands. If thats the price it took to buy the domain, an expense of $75k for a room divider manufacturer to own this prime name "forever" is a justifiable marketing expense and no doubt has the ability to provide the return on investment.

We obviously taught you nothing, as if we had you wouldn't be invested in this crap that you need to dump. IDN is a different game. The good names are about holding on with your cold dead fingers. Show me a list of domains I have advertised in the last 12 months and I will concede your argument.

i see.

so i should have held 100% of my .mobi domains with my cold dead fingers - even though i had no more money to work with.

interesting... i will call up my landlord and the grocery store i shop at to see if they accept .mobi domains as payment... this is real life Rubber Ducky, money has to come from somewhere.

No, I don't gamble. Not cards, horses or dogs. I am also pretty much tee-total these days. Get my kicks from vigorous excercise and a good home life.

No, the main event now is some serious mountain climbing. We did both Scafells week before last, Snowdon is scheduled in for two weeks time, but we want to do Ben Nevis. Doubt if we will get the weather now, this year. To do this fitness is important. Squash is still much on the agenda, but the latest thing is Stair Jogging. Now trying to do a 100 flights a day. That is serious Cardio excercise, but it only takes me about half an hour. I am going to need it, as we are now also looking at climbing Teidi. Its hard being an old git.

Yes, but seriously, if you use the term in the UK, all you will get is a blank stare. Can you imagine the reaction in Tokyo or Beijing?

The equipment used is for Offices not rooms in general which implies domestic. Most people would go to Office Furniture to buy. Lets face it you might actually need to pick up a few desks and chairs whilst you were on.

Resonance? Yes, a right Clanger!

I have read enough of your post to know that I don't like you.

Find your way back to the IDN forum :veryangry:


This was a great sale! Congrats Rick.

So what was wrong with the original version?

If we were to meet in public, I would probably put you through a brick wall. Seriously. I have read enough of your post to realize that I don't like you.

Worried that you would get your arse whipped by an old fellar?

Also who are you to kick me out? I was here three years before you, Johnny come lately. IDNF was actually born on this forum.

I can't believe how some members think the sale price was so excessive.

As said before, room dividers are popular products so a 75k price seems a reasonable price for the buyer to pay, actually a good deal for an end-user buyer.

Why not? The price sounds about right to me, maybe even on the low side for an end-user sale.

Room Dividers is a popular niche home and office furnishings product. In fact, I believe they are used more commonly in Asian (Oriental) nations than elsewhere (and offices everywhere).

The price is completely overpriced.

Funny thing is though that Estibot puts it at $180k.

I agree with trader here. $75K is a good price for this domain, but it is certainly not overpriced. Room dividers sell for $50 at the low end to more than $1,000 apiece if they're antique, so I'd say the buyer should be able to recoup his $75,000 investment quickly by selling, say, 300 room dividers at $250 each.

Considering that OrientalFurniture.com is an active Google AdWords advertiser (they're used to spending money on new traffic online) and that the domain will drive targeted traffic to their website forever in exchange for a $75K one-time investment, I don't see how the domain has been overpriced.

There is no such thing as overpriced when it comes to property of any sort. Any buyer can pay any price for any domain or piece of property.

No doubt you don't know what the advertising budgets are for Corporations that do multi-million dollars in sales annually. Take the low end of a business of that size, then figure 5% advertising budget. If they had to, they could borrow the cost of the domain, amorize the cost of the domain over 10 years (although you can keep it for eternity) and its a way less than a grand a month, or a small percentage of their advertising.

I would be a few of the company execs in these large furniture manufacturers that would want this name probably spend $75k for the cars they drive. ;)
