what changed?

[SF]

Yeah I am lost to, doesnt take much i know...

 

[Murray]

I'm confused, did you sell for a loss or profit?

I'm not sure anymore either

Nah He asked me in a stupid way so I gave him a stupid answer

The reality is this post

 

[Murray]

Congratulations, assuming you're telling the truth in your second post

When you ask me a question and include a little insult, why would I bother being straight with you

But with other people saying thanks your honesty, I felt bad for being too subtly flippant

Obviously we don't know how much you originally paid to calculate the GBP value of the 87.5% profit you are claiming. If we call it 90% profit for ease of calculation and you paid £3,000 then that's £2,700 profit. Drop one or two zeros from the £3,000 and you'll understand where I'm going.

Ask the buyer

I'm sure realistically you can guess what amounts are more likely, if you think £300 and me selling it for £570..

I see you kept the Twitter account @rabbit which surprised me.

Wasn't discussed or asked to be included, so stayed with me.

 

[Murray]

I'm not going to talk about exact figures so there's no point in discussing it

If the buyer wants to cool, no problem, then you can work back to how much I paid

You're a smart guy, I'm sure you've already figured out a price range that is most likely, you don't need me to tell you or confirm it.

I was slightly surprised you didn't make another "stop press" news announcement like you did when you acquired the domain name

I've said it a lot already, I think things are down to the buyers discretion

Why would I want to put people off buying domains from me by announcing what's been sold @ what price? I know for a fact a lot of buyers don't like that

Also when I posted that sales thread (woops meant announcement) I had already won, I knew I was going to make a good profit on it, so no point patting myself on the back twice.

I'm afraid you didn't *know*. You had belief

Believe to achieve

Selling to someone operating in the reseller market, as AB is, could be construed by some as you having lost the real belief and just making a lucky escape.

Lets be honest, you like to look for the negative to try and plant seeds of doubts in peoples minds

Why do you think you like to do that? what do you think that says about you as a person.

I've already said

My original investment was on mind and did play a role, maybe if I had caught it for £6 I would of been happier to sit and wait for years for a larger sum

I'm not particularly well off, I don't pretend to be, it was a fair chunk of money for me to tie up.

Maybe if I held on to it for the next few years I might have got double or more eventually who knows, but hopefully I will use the money to make bigger gains in the meantime.

Davey, give it a rest. You're starting to look foolish with your constant haranguing.

 

[Murray]

Soo invincible

What domains have you sold recently? what are the exact amounts? etc

Thanks in advance for what I assume is going to be a very open, honest and full accounting of at least one significant sale or purchase.

Lol

I like to look at things honestly and objectively.

Nahh, nothing to do with that

You say things to be sinister at times.

http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/sold-domains/132706-recent-sedo-sales.html#post518632 - here's one but I'm not stating the domain name because it's a org.uk (so think about the likely type of buyer) but the domain name is in active use.

You've asked me a lot of questions, the only bit of information you're willing to share is the price and that it was an org.uk?

 

[Murray]

You're of course welcome to your unsupported opinion. Like I said above, I commented about your rabbit.co.uk sale only because you posted last May telling the forum that you'd purchased it.

It isn't unsupported, despite you doing your best to hide everything about yourself on here, you're an open book.

Look at how you comment negatively

Take much of a hit on that one?:cool

could be construed by some as you having lost the real belief and just making a lucky escape.

you lost your bottle and were shopping rabbit.co.uk around hoping to find what could be considered a greater fool to take the domain name off your hands.

You start off hoping/assuming I lost money on it and now it turns out I didn't, I was lucky, desperate and a fool..

I can give you answers, clarify the reality, but what will happen then? you will dissect what I've said and still argue for why I was lucky, desperate and a fool.

Nothing in this for me is there?

I'm happy with how it all played out, it was a success as I knew it would be and I will use it as a stepping stone.

The end

Wonder if troll.co.uk is up for sale!

 

[newguy]

rabbit.co.uk certainly sparked a lot of rabbiting :-D.
