i have a PO BOX that has been active for 8 years. I still receive email for older owners of that box. When I try to give it back to post office, they tell me they no longer have access to those people and they get disposed. Just because the letters reach his PO box and they dont return them, does not mean he still has the box.

He is a hard man to find, the last trace I could find was his response in court to the hijacking attempt of drive.com

I think 600k is probably a bit too high for a domainer, but an end user who has a history of successful development might make a price like that work.

So what do you guys think this domain name is worth? valuate.com shows its worth $376k…what do you guys think?
How much traffic do you think it gets and how much do you think it would make on parking?

Netsols “so called” lame whois privacy still shows the owners name as PGinsberg, whether or not he’s still got control of it I don’t know?

I just took a look at another 5 names he owns at Netsol, one was developed and 4 are parked at Namedrive…some golden oldies !

I think I’d have to meet face to face before coughing up that sort of money on a domain…that’s alot of dosh to risk

Last week, I was about to purchase Nursery.com, and the seller also insisted on Escrow.com (not that this is a problem, but clearly they do not want you seeing where the money is being wired to). I decided it would be a good idea to speak with the owner before progressing, but the Whois had a non-working number. Upon looking at the Whois history, I noticed around December 2009 that the admin email was changed from a permanent address to an AOL address. The tricky thing about this is that the thief registered the first and last name @AOL.com. I was able to contact the real owner, who confirmed my fears. They did get the name back.

The next day, it dawned on me that I had inquired about another name, Luxembourg.com, that also replied with a first name last name AOL.com address. Sure enough, after using the Whois history tool, that one also appeared to be stolen (no luck yet reaching the real owner). The email pattern with Nursery.com and Luxembourg.com were nearly identical. No question in my mind it’s stolen.

I’ll say it again: Something big is going on, and I have a strong feeling we are about to see thefts on a scale we have never seen before!

Horoscopes.com is a tough one, because there is whois privacy on the domain. Which opens up a whole new set of problems if you cannot identify a whois change. All you can do is follow your instincts. Something doesn’t feel right, then it probably isn’t. Also, the Domain Tools Whois History tool is a no brainer.

LOL. I’m still feeling the effects of that.

all the best larry

Not only will I speak on the phone with you but I will party with you all night until 5AM such as we did at DomainFest:)

Thanks, Jim
