Brandable - any old tat

Unique - any domain name

Rare - as above.

Putting it back on the shelf - I cant sell it for peanuts on here but I will pay renewals again and again.

Offer valid until xyz - I am a dick, or I think you are a dick.

Investment - I have just splurged on .mobi .eu .crap hoping I can pay off my debts.

Generic domaining insults - I spent 10k on .me.uk names.

 

[Bailey]

Brandable - any old tat

I have to take issue with that one

Brandable _ If I could only share it - But, I guess it's like good sperm.

" xxxxxxxx domain wanted"-It doesn't matter how perfect the name is, it
doesn't matter how cheap it is, it doesn't matter how many exacts it has...
IM NOT INTERESTED AND I WONT REPLY TO YOUR PM!!

 

[binny]

hubby = someone I will deny knowing

had an offer by PM = him/her on the laptop in the next room will facilitate a registrant change in order to avoid having to sell the name at the current price

the .me.uk market is picking up = I have loads of .me.uk's and it had better bloody pick up

BIN reduced = please buy it

final reduction = please help me, buy it please, take it away

could be worth something if developed = Your domain is sh*t but to tell the truth would be crude

PM me your domains with price = Post your domains with contrived links to the requested niche in the thread and add £1k to the value

 

[Ashton]

Lmfao great thread, more please! I will have a go too:

WANTED - Dear Newbies, Please PM me any name that you have. Please also ignore my specific instructions in the thread, don't specify a price and pm/post it instead of posting/pming it.

 

[fish]

desirable niche = failed everywhere else, try my luck with vertical categorisation

Awesome domain = url only resolves in the southern hemisphere

 

[wb]

Great thread, had a good laugh at the above. I'll add one...

Client with a limited budget = it's me, I just don't want to admit I won't be offering market value.

 

[aZooZa]

Best one: I need the dough for a cashout, coz I'm tired of the domain business. Believable. Serious offers by PM please on a 6-year-old business making £x.xxx per month.

LOL. (PM me).

 

[Rob_F]

1. £750 offer received via PM = would accept £760 for it, have yet to receive any offers.

2. Buyer backed out = buyer never existed.

3. Prices valid for a limited time only = price valid until it drops.

4. Unique content, £5 per 500 words = whatever Wikipedia says on chosen subject, mixed about a bit.

5. Sensible offers only = hoping you'll offer way more than it's actually worth.

Selling to fund other projects = I need to eat…

…

Now that brought tears to my eyes - Probably too close to home, occasionally
l know there been a few posted but lets not let the 'prospective' buyers off too easily,,


"Budget xxx - x,xxx" = depending on what my dad thinks it's worth

"Immediate Cash available" = I'll be looking to flip so your patience would be appreciated.

"Buying entire portfolios" = That will be my 'cherrypicked' portfolio of your domains - Not your Portfolio idiot.

"Will pay a minimum of XXX per domain" = Exactly £100 for your your very best

 

[Bailey]

theresmore :-

"Held in various Accounts" = I was that pissed when I bought them I could barely remember my own name , let alone a log-on.

Any domain just £3* = * plus £15 Postage and Packing (see above)

"Every other extension and combination taken" = Yeah So they're all mine whats your point ?

"Seeing If this one Flies/Floats or "just testing the Waters" = Yep Looks like lead, feels like lead but stranger things have happened.

"Last chance on this one" = Definitely Lead then ?

 

[wb]

Gauging interest before offering to end users = already tried and had no luck, someone please take it away from me.

Previously received offer(s) of £___ = I should have bitten their arm off whilst I still had the chance.

I've had great fun reading as well as posting in this thread - I still love 'theregister.co.uk' line "Biting the hand that feeds IT" (don't get time to read it very often, these days)

 

[inbound]

TheRegister has gone seriously downhill of late. For example it's now being used as a political vehicle much more - it's annoying to read their stories and see such blatant lobby-speak (anything to do with nuclear vs "green" technologies is a good example).

I would probably agree Inbound - they use to be topical, witty and selective - I haven't looked for years. (Now they appear too much/too wide) What the hell happened to the 6 or 8 hot topics ? they were so good at

Still like that byline though "Biting the hand that feeds IT" - shame that original concept and direction seems to have been 'Bought'
