I agree with some of the previous posters, that a few of the names could have received substantial offers without having to sell them all for the bargain price accepted.

@Rob Sequin: “Wow, Larry. Those are some special names. $7mil is a lot but you could have sold just one or two to the right end user corporation and had the rest for free.”

I agree. Should have continued the bidding, if i had the cheese i’d easily go double that. Forget the Gulfstream and Wally, grab the names and sell off your luxury toys. You’d have had more gain to talk of in the end.

That was a steal. If he develops those names he will realize his investment in reasonable time. Plenty nuggets in there.

Thanks Steve.

As I said prior, I will be adding lots of other stories on the past 13 years in the business. Lot’s of fun times to come.

Thanks for sharing such a great story, Larry.

As “they” say, sometimes fact really is stranger (and certainly more interesting and worthwhile) than fiction.

Looking forward to that which is still to come…

Great series of posts, and thanks for sharing the names. My first thought was 7 million seems like a low price for those quality domains. Someone could just hold the domains and sell them off one at a time, and likely make much more. Wedding.com, Investments.com, Birthday.com, each of those alone could be a 7 million plus business if developed.
