Not a bad idea. I would like to know how many people actually made the transfer as well. Also, I'd definitely like to see what happens to the domains after a few weeks... if anybody puts anything up.

Yeah a few of my friends told me about that. Sent him a message, but still haven't heard back. He's offering $$$, but it still feels spammy and annoying. :-/ Hope nobody was annoyed.

Great tip. I was hoping people would figure this out on their own, but I should have made it more explicit in the email. This is exactly what I did with the domains I sent/received.

Because it's useful to have two ways to contact someone in case the exchange goes awry. It's already come in handy today.

That's fine... you're only an asshole who broke the rules. JK – I'll let if fly. :)

Feel free to buy it and donate it to the cause. I'm already investing hundreds of dollars in opportunity cost for a dumb way to give people a few laughs, so I don't feel like throwing down another $10. :)

P.S. I showed this to a friend and her response was: "Little does that guy know, you're totally an asshole." So there's that...

Actually, I really don't need to do that. The absurd length is part of the humor. Plus, WDWEE.com is 10x more difficult to type.

We just hit 300 people/domains who have signed up. Is that enough for you? ;)

Awesome! Thanks for this. I'll play with it over the weekend. Still working on the specifics.

Emails will definitely stay private. Your name, @username, and personal website will likely be published.

Try again... I disabled the URL validation on that field. However, the validation required http:// in front, so that may have been the issue.

That sounds like a wonderful idea... but far too much work for it to be worth it. Maybe next year...

People will always try to put us down.:)

That's the plan! Going to post a list of all domains and who sent/received them at webdomainwhiteelephantexchange.com

I fully expect something to go very wrong with this, so I'm just preparing to not care when it does. :)

Eh, if you don't want it and it costs money to transfer, then you don't have to take it. It's not like there will be a grim reaper debt collector coming after you.......

by danielzarick 13y ago
Nope! Right now I'm allowing multiple domains, up to a point. (Maximum is 3) Enjoy!

My persuasion skills are impeccable.

There's a handful of those in the list: interesting old names for apps. Then there are a lot of "Wouldn't it be funny if I bought ____?" domains. Those are pretty great too.

You can usually transfer it to another user on the same registrar. They just don't want to lose it to another company. (At least, that's my super rough understanding of it.)

Because I'm not an asshole?
53.
by danielzarick 13y ago
:) Yep!
54.
by danielzarick 13y ago
I really hope you don't get stuck with these domains then... because most of them would never be purchased willingly. :)

by danielzarick 13y ago
Just put "N/A" or something. It doesn't matter that much. I just wanted 2 ways to reach out to people.

Why would this be practical? Do you know what a white elephant gift is? Wikipedia: "A white elephant is an idiom for a valuable but burdensome possession of which its owner cannot dispose and whose cost (particularly cost of upkeep) is

Yes, that's exactly the point. Have some fun & do stupid things. (With that said... there are some really, really great domains in this list. So you might get lucky.)

Worth noting: Yahoo's share price on June 8, 1998 (date of the acquisition article) closed at $6.84. The stock closed at $35.83 just one year later on June 9, 1999. Then again, one year later, the stock closed at $72.00. The peak was $108.1
