I'm thinking about proposing to buy it for an amount covering his cost except a dollar. He will still lose money (which should serve as a valuable lesson), but not as much as if I never buy it - and I really don't need it anyway...
- lachyg 15y agoWhy would he accept?
- troethom 15y agoWhat would you pick: lose a dollar or lose the cost of a domain? (the cost of a domain is still more than dollar)
- gplaya2323 15y agoYou're assuming he is going to lose the domain. Which is not a good assumption. It's name squatting, not company / brand squatting
- MikeCapone 15y agoWhat if the satisfaction of not selling it to you is worth more than a dollar to him/her?
- jackmoore 15y agoSome cyber squatter has my fistnamelastname.com, and several thousand others (including celebs and typo-based domains). I contacted him about and he made it clear that he was looking for something in the 10k-250k range. I offered $500 and got no response. A non-commercial domain shouldn't command that kind of price, but the cost of sitting on it just isn't high enough to discourage squatters from doing it and waiting for the occasional big payout. Edit: the squatters name is David Webb in case anyone else has had to deal with him.

- eLobato 15y agoBoy I can't believe you were going to pay 500 bucks for a .com domain with your name. The guy who's owning mine is asking for not less than $6K so I just went for the '.me' which is at least as nice looking as '.com' and adds a cool factor to your emails/business cards. Everyone seems not to believe that your email can be me@yourname.me but I'd say that it looks catchy aint it?
