It revived the debate on whether listing a price in an email and then backing out was a legal contract or not. 25 years later it still seems many are split or […]

There are many perceived end user sales that are merely domain investors buying

April 6, 2022 by Raymond Hackney 1 Comment

So there is a thread I was reading today on Namepros where a member posted that they looked at a premium sales and they weren’t developed some two years later. I just spent over an hour looking up domains that sold over 2 years ago for over 10k. Almost every domain goes to either a […]

Is domaining on the downslide?

January 14, 2022 by Raymond Hackney 9 Comments

From posts on Namepros and private conversations in the first two weeks I see some calling for domaining’s demise. I finally got hold of a long time friend in the business who told me he just got into NFT’s and could care less about domain names. I was surprised as they have had decent success, […]

December 17, 2021 by Raymond Hackney 2 Comments

July 4, 2021 by Raymond Hackney 15 Comments

With the news of Epik acquiring DNForum.com, some commented whether or not forums matter anymore? There are many articles over the last couple years about forums in general, not just in domaining.
