Some domain listings just crack me up!
June 9, 2008 · Print This Article
I know English is not everbodies first language and grammer is for certain not one of my strongest, but with that said, BS is the same no matter where you are from!
CWI.com is listed on Sedo right now. The domain is owned by somebody in Isreal, so I can understand the English part of the listing. Now that doesn’t take away the funny part of it, as I would bet 95% of the citizens who read the listing do not know he is from Isreal and hope they can smell the BS as I do.
In the sellers Sedo Description he starts out with: Wonderful LLL.com, Online since 1989, One of the most oldest domains ever ! 1989 is pretty old but not the "Most Oldest Ever". The FACT is, the domain really dropped so it’s one of the NEWEST LLL.com’s EVER with a creation term of 04/17/2008 but does have history back to 1989. Most citizens list a moment considering of the creation day and that it HELD the age. Not in that case.
The seller soon after provides a link and says Appraised by Afternic for 140,000$
You may visit that link: http://www.afternic.com/appraisa l.php?id=90796 Well whether you visit the link, it brings you to a generic prepare an Offer page! My guess, another line of BS since it didn’t bring me to any appraisal page. Let alone, we all know what domain name appraisals are worth….
The ad goes on and talks about acronyms.. next: Overture > 2050 Frequency> 3000,000 Traffic> 3000 visitors per month We plus know that Overture is Outdated details but current worktracker results are 54 per day, which turns out to be 1,620 per month, so again BS. Frequency… well that must be a new number and secondly Frequency for What? Google, Yahoo? Traffic, who knows..
The ad continues on with: This domain is composed of best english letters, full potential , similar LLL.com sold for even higher price..
For one, I wouldn’t say they are the "best English letters", Full Potential for what? next saying "similar LLL.com’s sold for even HIGHER PRICES"? Higher Prices next what? The $140K appraisal?
Then to finish and the best line yet IMO… After that week announcement of 15 LLL.com sale for 40,000$ each , you will never dream to find LLL.com cheaper than 20,000$ . Cheap LLL.com is something from history now ! Not certain the sellers definition of "cheap", but it’s part of history now according to him! Oh man, that line was funny as hell!
Side Notes: Back in 2003 CWI.com was reported a Stolen Domain. I do not know whether it was ever returned to it’s owner. http://www.dnforum.com/f77/stolen-domains-cwi-com-7y-net-vya-net-thread-38761.html
cwi.com did sell on Pool.com via a Pending Delete auction they cought, that ended on 4-20-2008 for $15,000 USD. I do find it odd that the current seller listed it on Sedo for No Reserve. I had seen the domain listing after 7 bids were placed already and the bid was only $3,100 USD.
