Viva .NET !!!

Also, buying avoids the distracting thought ‘what if I had bought that domain’, with risk that a competitor buys it – particularly concerning as he can copy your good work / ideas.

Arguably, steps should have been taken to require domain sellers to sell at fair market prices – so that buyer simply has to beat the next best bidder, rather than having much of the value of his idea and momentum extracted in addition.

Not many people here would have rejected offers along the way to a $185k price tag.

Having the correct domains helps too.

We’re on the InterNET … not The InterCOM – -:-) – …. Frank and Kevin too have bought many more .NETs over the years than some people realize … many .NETs have been selling on an incremental basis at Sedo & Afternic/BuyDomains over the past 2+ years… furthermore, Verisign recently started a more pro-active marketing campaign for .NET

Don’t forget .NET !

It’s a big reason why I picked up WebAccelerator.com a few years back when it dropped.

Factor in a seller like Schilling, and you can see why it fetched the price that it did.

CDN, CRM, SEM, SEO – these are all huge acronyms online, all capable of fetching six figures in either .net or .org because of the multi-billion dollar industries built around them.

CDN is often used as an abbreviation for Canada/Canadian (although less so than CAN) and is sometimes used to represent our currency (although again, less so than CAD or CAN$).

Given my patriotic interpretation, CDN.net had good intrinsic value even outside the ‘content delivery network’ arena.

I would say the majority of people would say under $5k, a few people with knowledge of CDN would say 5 or 6 figures, and most everyone else would tell those people they are idiots. That’s kind of how it goes.

I would have saved $184k and went after something like eCDN.com instead.
