Where did those 6 figure offers go for FakeNews.com?

January 30, 2018 by Raymond Hackney

We wrote a year ago about FakeNews.com and it’s owner receiving 6 figure offers.

There is a story on DallasNews.com today about a California man, George Bacon who purchased FakeNews.com 11 years ago for $250.

From the article:

Fakenews.com isn’t the only domain Bacon owns — he buys and sells them regularly as a hobby — but soon, it will be the most profitable. The address is currently up for sale. And he’s gotten more than one six-figure offer.

“My plan is to have it sold by the end of the month,” Bacon said. “I’ll probably do some remodeling of my house. And I’d love to get a condo up in Mammoth for snowboarding.”

Well the offers must have disappeared as it’s taken another year to sell the name and it was for $65,000 at NamesCon.
