For Sale: OWNED.COM

For Sale:

OWNED.COM


the domain was purchased a few months ago to be used for a project that didnt come off.. its been offline since purchase so there is no stats or sale figures to show you...

I have no idea how many type-ins it might get... one the domain players would likely be able to make a pretty accurate guess for a buyer though.

People kept suggesting it could be sold for around 10k... Sooooo let's see if the people with the money to spend agree ;-)

I posted a thread on GFY (http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=262835) with a Poll for people to suggest what they think is a "Sensible Selling Reserve Price" for it... thought it might be interesting to compare results to here.
(if that nasty domain is allowed in a link code)

Ya, you could do something with it for sure. Making money off it would be the challenge not being a porn related name.

[docholly]

hmmm maybe a Slave site
or
Mortgage brokers would do well with it..

[grzepa]

good domain name

Well I surely think it could bring more money beeing non-porn related... like gamers community.

nice.

[Kezza]

Pay pal ok?

[Kezza]

Thanks for that advice Bell!

what about an eBay auction with a reserve ??

That is what I was originally thinking when i made that poll.... i didn't think any of the adult domain players would be willing to pay a top dollar price and suspected an Ebay auction might be the way to go.

The main reason it is for sale is because so many people kept suggesting it will sell for 10k... which is a very handy profit on the purchase price.. too handy not to go and see if a buyer really does exist.

It must be a good name... almost any webmaster i have spoken about it with immediately starts suggesting ideas for development.. which is exactly how I felt when i first heard it too.

Hopefully an advertising agency, TV show producer, magazine publisher or similar will see it and have the perfect product to suit :)

Congrats Kezza, you are the lead with that bid of $5001.. get your check book ready ;-))

there's probably a ton of music people you could add to

your list... a suitable name that especially comes to mind is Jack Black...



you should not sell under $10k


there's no reason to rush... shop it around...



try Ashton... try the people that own "The Onion" and

CJ... and the "Smoking Gun"... there's probably some

comedians that it would suit... Roseanne Barr... Kathy Griffin...

try some college frat houses... try Jim Belushi.... try Carrot Top..




find paroday message boards AFTER you get your cover page

up on the site with your CONTACT info - and shop the domain

name there... by asking for suggestions on marketing it and to

whom - for more ideas...


that's a good start for you... get busy...


and my suggestion is to make a page with allot of these names

so you can get some traffic and create a competition mentality

for them - so they can WIN over all the others... plus you might

be able to get some free media coverage (mileage) out of having

something SHOWABLE... and do press releases and free interviews...

be aggressive in YOU contacting media to volunteer an interview...

contact them at the get-go with the press elease - - - they might

not have time to interview you but with something IN-HAND they

might do a write up on you during a slow news day...

most media though - do not save press releases or story ideas more than 14 days...

so don't take that as a "no" and don't mark them off your list ...

hit them again very 2 weeks for 8 weeks +




and do NOT NOT NOT rely solely on eMail communication

in getting the word out... the postal mail is still a good TOOL...

with a refined targeted contact list...




good luck...


keep us up to date on what you do...
