Sahar Sarid's domains?

[Fearless]

not willing to be transparent

Who are you sasquatch?

 

[sasquatch]

I know quite a few people who don't privatize their portfolios because they hope to receive an offer on some of their names, but Sahar isn't one of them.

Funny you should say that because in all his WIPO proceedings the complaintants have apparently enclosed evidence of him negotiating to sell those domains in questions.

And in one of his recent blog posts, he comments how relatively recently one "multi-billion" dollar company (after two months of negotiations) eventually refused to pay his asking price of "ONLY" 300k, going for a regular fee domain instead (which is a usual end-user response) (Also, let's ignore the fact that he choses to describe asking price of $300,000 for one domain as "only".)

So if anything, judging by these examples he doesn't mind the thrill of an end-user inquiry. In any case, just because his contact info is not viewed publicly in whois, it doesn't mean that he doesn't receive (gets forwarded) all inquiries (if that's what you are implying)

Why does he have to show you anything? Can't you tell by the things he posts that he knows his shit?

No I can't tell. His shit is his portfolio. His portfolio is hidden. Just because he is articulate immigrant with a relatively good insight into the current state of the American business scene, doesn't make him a domain expert automatically. If we were to use your criteria whether someone is "sponge-worthy" or not ("can't you tell that he knows his shit?"), any bozo with a college degree (or some life experience), and a B in English 101 can pass for anything these days. It's enough to claim something, never mind the credentials. America - the land of self-proclaimed gurus and Oprah's couch headcases.

If you go to a jazz show at Lincoln Center, do you really need to know what accolades a group received to enjoy the music?

I already told you the difference. Jazz show will cost me the ticket and a couple of beers. Celebrity domainer blog can potentially ruin me financially, or in the case of a multi-billion dollar company can cost them $300,000 big ones if they are not careful (and opt for a regfee alternative instead :smilewinkgrin:

Funny you should say that ......

Holy Obsession Batman.

Some of you guys would be successful in this business if you stopped spending your time nit-picking the people who are. You think Sahar has ever sat down and thought, "Gee I wonder what domains that anonymous Sasquatch guy owns?".

Sasquatch, you're saying that Sahar is anonymous and that we shouldn't pay attention to his blog. What makes you think we care about YOUR opinion here?!? Seriously

As Sahar says in his blog:
"As Jeremy Shcoemaker writes in his disclaimer page, you should assume everything written on this blog is a lie. While I do my best to stay accurate, there is absolutely no guarantee it is. Do your own research, find out more, make up your own mind."

BTW, who are you and what names do you own?

 

[sasquatch]

Who are you sasquatch?

I answered that question many times to attempting "table-turners" like you. Who I am is of no relevance since I am not the one who claims any expertise (except a nose for bullshit), I'm not trying to influence anyone in any financial decisions, and I don't entice anyone (whether directly or indirectly) to buy the by-products of my intellectual or marketing savvy.

Every person that has followers in his line of work, any person that is accepted as someone of great merit in his field, is either fully transparent or to a great degree transparent in his business. And I'd say most of these celebrity domainers are relatively transparent. Except Sahar. Right now I can't think of anyone with a more "prominent public role" in this field, yet surrounded in more business secrecy than him.

Some of you guys would be successful in this business if you stopped spending your time nit-picking the people who are.

But that's my point! How the fukc do we know that he is "successfull" when he is going to great lengths to avoid showing his goods. How do we know that he is not John Zuccarini? Seriously?

You think Sahar has ever sat down and thought, "Gee I wonder what domains that anonymous Sasquatch guy owns?".

Gee great analogy. Let me answer it for you: he doesn't have to! But if I had a 900lbs gorilla tag of being a "domain messiah" and future billionaire, you better believe that he would do anything to find what my goodies are.

Sasquatch, you're saying that Sahar is anonymous and that we shouldn't pay attention to his blog.

I was just asking to see example of some of his domains. That's all. Everything else is not about Sarah per se (it could have been anyone in his place), but about the unhealthy "Domain Industry" ecosystem that sucks its own big, fat Viagra(TM) induced cock like some starstruck teenage runaway bimbo from Nebraska dropped off at the Hollywood Greyhound station.

Protection isn't always the same as secrecy. The fact that Sahar owns FuneralHomes.com alone should be indicative that he at least grasps the concept of a good domain (566 overture with extension) and a good business plan.

By the way, that quote of Mole's in your signature isn't smart or witty - it's just a faulty metaphor from a member who was self-convinced of his own intelligence. How, specifically, can a sushi roll eat itself? If you want to associate yourself with a guy who blethered for five years about the end of .COM then quietly buggered off when it was obvious he'd made a complete idiot of himself and wasted five years, then by all means, go ahead.

I on the other hand think he has no idea what he's doing since FuneralHome.com has more than twice as much Overture with extension. How's that for smarty tic-tac discussion?

By the way, that is a truly classic postmodern expression which is by its very nature destined to go over the head of the literal translators of your kind.

That comment is proof that you've never done much actual business in this industry. The news flash is that not every domain is for sale.

Yeah, whatever :lol:

Here's the bottom line for ya - if you'd invested smartly when you joined up here in 2003 you'd easily be a millionaire by now. Instead, you're just the guy who wasted his time critisizing the industry and the people in it. Next month will be your fourth anniversary of missing the greatest opportunity you ever had. All you have to show for the last four years is being the new Mole.

AMEN! Best summary ever... I often wonder about a lot of "old timers" who bitch constantly.. Is it because they missed the boat? they lost a bunch of money? or simply gave up at the wrong time?

Cmon man everything has its price. Every "hard-to-get chick" is a slut inside. Even Rick has "hinted" that he has a "number". The news flash is that not all FuneralHomes.com overture searches are actually meant for Sahar's "baby", but for FuneralHome.com

Yeah, whatever :lol:

Yeah, exactly :lol:

By saying that I could "easily be millionaire by now" only reinforces what I am talking about this industry all along. No substance, only easy slogans and fluff that gets passed around as wisdom in retrospective.

Being Mole is a noble cause. He is a smart man, and is greatly missed around here.

Nighty night now.

Are you a millionaire?

Are you a millionaire?

That's not a gentlemanly question, but I'll say that I no longer work

So if someone is selling FuneralHomes.com for $30k and someone else is selling FuneralHome.com for $500k, you'd pick the latter? You really are clueless.

Unfortunately for Mole, being smart doesn't make you right. His is the same kind of logic that people use when they tell you that money doesn't buy happiness.. It does

 

[TheLegendaryJP]

Am I a millionaire ? :lol:

I would be asking myself if I was a multi millionaire if I had started in 2003. I love domains blah blah blah give me the fluff as long as I eat better because of it Ill eat it all up.

 

[INVIGOR]

If I had spend less time reading this I could have made another million! LOL!

The real trick is to set yourself up so that you can make a million *while* you're reading this..

I was only curious as surely not everyone despite how smart they invested if they started just a few years ago would be millionaires. I suppose I could of just said that surely not everyone who invested fairly well in 2003 is a millionaire by now but Beachie wasn't obligated to answer and he didn't seem to take it near as badly as you did.

Does anyone think Steve Jobs constantly wonders what Gates is working on and spends all day chatting in a forum about it? Or maybe he just concentrates on his own stuff and makes money.
