Seriously folks, don’t do it. I get asked by people all the time if I want to fund a business “idea” of theirs. It usually turns out that they have a good domain so they’ve developed a business plan to work with that domain. They never wanted to be in that business of course, and [...]
You might be surprised to find out that I don’t think a great domain name is important to a business to have a successful web presence. I completely disagree with people like Rick Shwartz who think that Hershey’s Corporation is stupid for not buying candy.com or Marriott needs to do some soul searching to find [...]
Why do they have to make life so difficult? I'm trying to transfer out two names that were registered there only four months ago. Both the names are unlocked. I called their support department and they told me they had to open a trouble ticket to their engineering group. Then after that, I get this [...]
As if this site wasn't self-promoting enough.... Most of you know that I'm the owner of DigiPawn, Inc which loans money on domains. Throughout the month of April we are offering 1% interest on your first month. That means that the cash is cheap if you can pay it back quickly. Keep this in mind [...]
Zip-Lining through the canopied rain forest in the Jamaican mountains, I can’t help but to think about Frank Schilling’s post on SevenMile.com. Like most of the big domainers, he doesn’t sell domains and he attempts on his blog to explain why that is so. Perhaps because I was flying through the trees at night I [...]

Everything should be back to normal on the blog. All forms and comments should be working just fine now. Sorry for the problems.
Hillary Clinton can’t win. As long as the race comes down between Barrack Obama and John McCain, as a country, I believe we’ve already won. It is my opinion that both of these men would make better leaders than we have had in many years. John McCain has been my favorite republican for years. It’s [...]
Anyone who has tried to post something on this site or fill out one of my contact forms has either received an error or been told that everything was fine, only for nothing to happen. We've recently upgraded to the newest version of Word Press so that might be the problem. Either way, I'll post [...]
I think I’m going to start buying and selling IDNs. If you don’t know what they are, this Wikipedia article does a great job explaining them. Historically, I’ve been a pure .com guy but about a year ago I started getting serious with .net names as well. It’s time to grow my base again so I’ve [...]
No doubt, many of you are coming here for the first time. If you don’t know me or you’ve never heard of me, I sell domains. I sell a lot of domains. My newsletter is the biggest in the industry. I send it daily Monday through Friday at random times. In the newsletter I sell [...]
