Losing in Las Vegas – A Domain Story
November 13th, 2008 by Andy Sweet
I don’t believe I’ve ever had a friend come back who hasn’t told me the thousands they made in Las Vegas. With numbers like that, it’s a miracle that the poor city can stay in business! It’s not a charity folks! Do your part and give back!
Well, contrary to popular belief, not everybody wins when they go to Las Vegas.
The same can be said for domains. I’m always hearing about the big sales and great deals and it seems like nobody ever loses with domains! Well, not quite. I just kind of lost and won at the same time.
I recently had a domain that I bought on the aftermarket for $600 expire. I never transferred it out of the no-name registrar it was registered at and for whatever reason, it didn’t auto renew. Point is, I lost it. It wasn’t about the money, it was more about me losing a domain I clearly had desired enough to buy.
Well, I just got it back. For $8. Nobody wanted it and it passed through the expired domain vultures (of which I am one on occasion) and went back to open registration where I picked it up again.
So, I’m not quite sure how I should feel. I guess I’ll just be happy that I got it back. I even saved $17 by letting it expire and picking it up at my preferred registrar!
