Right. But nothing in the above explanation seems to address the "shift the supply/demand landscape" which you said influenced you selling at this time.
As far as "20 years worth of revenues" I had a domain related to the mortgage business where I was offered an amount of money that was, let's call it, 4 years worth of revenues. This was in iirc 2006/7 prior to the crash when those terms were paying tons of money. After the crash literally no income worth mentioning. Obviously in retrospect wish I had taken the offer. But at the time it didn't seem like the mortgage landscape downside would be anywhere near what it turned out to be.
- jacquesm 12y agoAh right. Sorry. Bloody small input boxes and all that. The new tlds, the fact that the domain name system as such is expanding all the time and that urls are fewer and fewer typed in makes me believe that 'shortness' is not so much a factor today as it was in the early days. You can get a two letter (not .com) for very little money. The LG deal still baffles me, though I can see with that being their brand they probably had little choice. But no company is literally called 'ww', not even mine (It is Camarades BV) so from that point of view a really large figure was probably not going to happen any time soon. The big difference is whether you approach the buyer or whether the buyer approaches you. "A price is never right, if you sold it was too cheap, if you didn't it was too expensive.". I'm happy with this sale, it's a ton of money and since I normally live without a safety net this will help a lot with my sleeping disorder. That Icann announcement of a trademark dispute, fake infringement suit (it's been tried), DHS seizure and all these other bad things that can happen to domains worry me a lot less today than they did yesterday.
