LOL, told you guys this game was full of liars and s*it.

PRWEB) September 3, 2004 -- Super Names Inc. is pleased to announce today that it sold the following domain names:

10Top.com $ 2,000,000 (will be used for a portal)
AmericanPeople.com $ 750,000 (will be used for a portal)
CasinoMagazine.com $ 2,500,000 (Online magazine)
AmericanPoker.com $ 1,400,000 (Online magazine)
LondonMagazine.com $ 600,000 (Future online magazine)

The market for quality domain names is very strong, with consistent interest for quality, and more companies realizing that it is much better to take the right decision and invest in a good domain name in the first place, instead of wasting millions of dollars to promote a bad one. We are also currently negotiating a number of additional multi-million dollar sales.

I'm wondering how much their (Super Names) "contribution" was to PRWEB?

Check out the SOLD - SALES section on their site:

Anytime you see obviously bogus reports like that you have to look at the source. PRWeb is one of those paid press release sites where you give them a few bucks and they will distribute anything you send them - in fact they let you write the release - they do nothing to verify anything that you claim is true.

well the story is ....CRAP!

Those guys are the biggest bozos around. They are trying hard to hype up their lousy $0 third rate domains, but they are doing that in a dumb, unbelievable way.

But truth be told, they are no much different than some of the members on this forum, who are doing the same thing except in different ways and/or different scale. Wink, wink ;-) ;-)

Mole said it all along.

This is 100% total BS and I'm glad I can see that it is

Thanks Mole

Whata bunch of idiots.

The whole name inventory and their prices are comedy central material. I also looked at their adult names, and the first thing I see a typical example:

SexierMagazine.net $75,000 Buy

SexierMagazine.com $35,000 Buy

Complete with a checkout cart.

Freaking morons.

But I'll give'em this much:

They've got the BIGGEST COLLECTION OF THE WORLD'S WORST DOMAINS. And I mean by far!!!

At least they are the "best" in something.

It just goes to show you that some people are clinically delusional. I just wish I was their registrar. Making money on tons of registrations and renewals of some useless crap names by some dreamy freaks is the easiest and sweetest money there is.

I love SuperNames.com privacy statement.

"If I buy a domain name from you, will you publish or disclose the terms of the sale or other information?
Our standard rule is to strictly not disclose any information about any client unless specifically requested to do so by the client. In addition to this, we often sign a non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement. We will not publish or disclose any information unless you asked us to do it."

And, I enjoyed his implication that he sold all of those names!
