Big Timer???

I had a list of his names under his TAG. It is interesting to see that he regged p-c-c.co.uk type domains too. Anyway, he had a great vision that is sure. I once contacted him for a name and he asked fortune for it.

Ok I sort of know him through another friend so he is contactable :wink:

He does as olbean say director at north end also big sponser for them to and yes new reg.

If i am honest, by looking at his house i wouldnt even ask him for a price unless i had atleast 2/3 million pounds if not 5 million.

 

[SF]

he lives about 20 mins from me

 

[ratboy]

A £5 million house 20 mins from you? :lol:

 

[SF]

I am back at home living with parents i am not in the ghetto anymore - girlfriend kicked me out

 

[ratboy]

oh sorry mate :cry:

 

[SF]

its ok :grin:

It's always sounds better when you say that someone lives near you rather than the other way around, dont you think!

 

[Skinner]

Well his 'people' havent bothered contacting me as yet, given DB's comments I don't think my partners will be able to stretch that far, Giant Games was bad enough

 

[SF]

Yeah I estimate his fortune to be over 100 million

Good man, he's obviously well switched on and eats his Readybrek every morning. To be fair he has used his experience with the classified number plate market to spot a new market and invested heavily. The risk might not have come off, who knows how many other people have done things like this only to get their fingers burned.

Fair play to the chap.

 

[retired_member12]

I wonder if he has any .COMs then?

Exactly - he was paying 200 pounds a pop for names all those years ago.. even then nothing was certain...

He is getting into strip clubs i hear, buying a couple of places local

You will find alot of the personal plate sellers are also involved in the domain market and also markets like phone numbers.

And that observation Mat highlights the clear double standards and hypocrisy of the UK Government when compared to domain sellers. The letter from BERR to Nominet expresses concern and contempt about selling domains for profit, yet they're happy to cream off a premium for themselves through the DVLA site here for a very similar activity.

They'll have Nominet doing it next if they were to apply the same business model!

 

[mat]

I wonder how long it will be before Nominet start holding back what they see as premium type domains and charging a DVLA style fee to buy it off them?

 

[SF]

cant be that long away.....

They ara a not-for-profit organisation

 

[mat]

I reckon in the future they will hold all premium domains that expire and auction them off. Goodbye dropcatching!

 

[SF]

I wonder if that will change paul with the country in ressesion :?
