Competitive Aint It

[retired_member6]

I'm still surprised, though happy I caught kitchenappliances but that's cause a few were found asleep I later learned from speaking to others, but a keen eye and a good script helped a lot too. I was in for paralegals today, just gone, reservation went this morning and khs, went this afternoon.

I made a list of 38 names last night to show interest in and keep an eye on, a few were renewed, another two were mine, four are still suspended and eight are now free to reg. The remainder have been caught, which makes me feel good as I pick names others see as worth something as well but then I know my names are good, when I get them.

Getting much more difficult to catch names these days, partly due to more good scripts being open to more at no extra cost. OK, so I can still flip free to reg unclaimed names and sell them for £500 on the day as I did last Friday but that don't happen every day, worse luck. Oh well, off to see what's dropping tomorrow.

Well done Mr Weaver and Mr Prime but re the latter, please ensure you market your auctions well to companies and don't rest on your laurals when gifted a £10,000 name, I'm sure you are emailing furiously every hotel related business on the planet to get maximum interest and your 50% share, please market well and try for the max. Would suggest you start with the best of them, expedia etc. and work your way down.

The only problem I see with the auction site, is end user is going to learn more about catching, a shame that. Still, some want a more level playing field. *But then maybe I'm being silly, most end users need more information before piecing it all together, sedos been there years.

Incoherent, it's written in English, where are you from?

I do try with you Lee...

To wind me up or get a new customer.

I'll leave you to wind yourself up. I don't discuss customers on a commercial basis, but I do tend to speak my mind.

I think we're not on the same planet, night.

Sure is Lee, all those mentioned on Denys script. The business model is on a knife edge as it is skirting around the close connection rule of which Nominet could move on, after all, the spirit of that policy was to prevent an advantage to any one entity (albeit a 50% revenue stream from sales).

Reservation is a good one, but the previous lander page couldn't shift it for £6K VirtualNames - Domain for sale: reservation.co.uk

 

[retired_member6]

Lander page versus motivational sales... the latter will usually win.

Do you catch .uk's exclusivley or do you venture into other TLDs

Surely with more people introducing more affordable scripts, you have a better chance of catching them as you can use all their systems together? e.g. 6x systems better than 1x

sidlow.co.uk just gone, ctrl is back

Hopefully I'll catch something tomorrow.

 

[essexboy]

I see the person who caught khs was supposedly banned from that catching site before it dropped yet he caught khs???? Did he keep the script?

 

[retired_member9]

bastards can also get lucky sometimes

 

[stender]

It was caught using my own script so i dont have to give 50% to some monkey.
And some dropcatching/auction sites have more bugs than the kremlin and are run by shady t@ssers so beware supplying your details to them.

Let's just leave it that some models are slightly flawed and draw immediate controversy. For me, 'pay your money and take your goods' works best, not a collusion of interests. Just an old English tenet.
