ISP buying domain?

julian · 19-08-2011, 08:36:49 AM

I got this bloke randomly phoning me up now with some convoluted story of what the domains being used for - which is some childrens project and the parents are all chipping in to fund buying the name - lol maybe i'm just a suspicious old git.

Its interesting that a very large company that wanted this domain a while back have south african accents and he just happens to have one also..?

No reason a charitable/good cause would need an LLL they would go long tail for the 3 words, for maximum exposure.

Tell them you're one of those many businesses (like car dealers) who don't discount for charities and non-profits, because the status of the buyer is independent of - and irrelevant to - the value of what you're offering.

Has he mentioned "diplomatic immunity" yet?
