not around here! lmao

You finally got something right, I prefer to buy privately or at drop auctions.... That's where the deals are.

Raider,

For someone who is not private at all about her life...hard to believe you are private about domains. I really do think you own none.

Awe shit...here we go again... In the words of Rodney King: "Can't we all just get a loan?" (or was that "along?")

Were all cool here, the boys are just on a fishing expedition. :fish2:

I am talking about the one that you have really missed i mean you was gonna buy it or was thinking about it and decided against it for one reason or another.........there must be one gem that sticks in your mind ?

Yes, boysandgirls.com.... I wanted that one really bad, even tried contacting the owner before it dropped. I think NameFox got it, beating Snapnames and many others.

Several years ago I won Snaps on WineTrader.com and Messieurs.com only to have them stolen during the transfer process. I took it up with SnapNames but they claimed that there was nothing they could do about it.

Both domains were entered into a Moniker auction last year. When I notified Moniker, they removed them from the auction.

Both are still parked.

Someday....

Oh gosh, there were so many of them back in the day.

One example is that I could have had BB.com for a mere $26,000. It was auctioned off on a domain chatroom and I bid until $20k (the cutoff point I told myself before the auction started).

Got a lot of great ones during that time though, that have paid off very very well for me and my family. :smokin:

I remember bidding but not winning "digitalphone.com" on TDNAM.
It was my first week of domaining.
I figured names like that were everywhere.

Focus, that name you speak of has really dropped off on compete.com

I'm sure they were a few years ago.

I know I've missed out on some though drop auctions / hand registrations but I think my largest "misses" are registering domains I thought were good (and who didn't?). My largest overall was the NNNNN.com hype.

I had a deal to sell a 2 word .com domain for $150K.
At the same time I was negotiating to buy a similar domain for 20K.

My buyer beat me and bought that similar domain for 20K.
Buyer then canceled our deal for the $150K although we already had an agreement.

Oops. I hope the seller and the buyer weren't the same person. What a cunning scheme would that be!

Another one:

I could have picked up Phonecards.com in 01 if I was a quarter second faster.

There's a lot more.

We are talking domains here, right?

After seeing last night's clips of the world's largest breasts (38 triple K) I suddenly realize I need clarification on this.
