Bido.com Is Back!

Posted on 25 October 2010   

***Breaking News***

About two hours ago I received a Like request to join a Bido.com Facebook fan page.

So what does this mean? It means that Bido is back!

I have personally confirmed with an unnamed source that Bido will be coming back soon. In fact, another domainer on Facebook has already pointed out that a new domain is pending votes.

Questions left unanswered…

  • Did Bido sell and if so for how much and who is the new owner?
  • When will Bido relaunch?

I have an email out to the previous owner to get to the bottom of this.

Update – I have confirmed with the previous owner that Bido.com was sold. The sale amount and new owner’s information is private. My unnamed source will not share with me the new launch date or owner. So for now that will have to be a mystery.

I leave you with a picture of me and the Bido girls while at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. earlier this year in Las Vegas.

The Winner Of A DNCruise Pass And Airfare Is…

Posted on 09 September 2010   

The winner is…

Ok, not so fast. First I want to start off by saying thank you to Escrow.com for providing a free cruise pass to the contest winner. For those of you that have not used Escrow.com to complete your domain sales, do so, it’s an excellent service.

Secondly I’d like to say this was a very difficult decision. There were several quality entries and this prize could have went to anyone. Because of that I am giving away a second place prize. The second place prize is for a free DNCruise pass without the round-trip airfare.

Enough suspense…

Second Prize – Mike Law (DNCruise Pass)

Grand Prize Winner – Adam Torkildson (DNCruise Pass and Airfare)

Congratulations to the winners and again thank you to the contest entrants and Escrow.com for your help. Don’t let not winning stop you from coming aboard our industry’s first ever conference on a boat. Get your ticket booked ASAP, ship cabins are almost sold out. Visit DNCruise.com for more information.

CNN Covered DOMAINfest New York (Video)

Posted on 23 August 2010   

I’m famous, I made it on CNN Money. Ok, so it was just for a split second, lol. Watch the video, you will see myself sitting next to client Kevin Wood whom purchased Companion.com $45,000 and Hoarders.com $1,500 during DOMAINfest’s live auction held in New York on August 18th. In total the auction sold $1,801,900 worth of domain names with the top sale being T-Shirts.com for $1,265,000.

Besides CNN DOMAINfest New York was written about by several major publications including PC World, New York Post and NY Daily News.

Also, don’t forget the extended auction is still going, visit SnapNames.com.

GoDaddy Sued For Allowing Registration Of MichaelJacksonCasino.com

Posted on 03 August 2010   

I was reading TMZ.com, which I do daily. Yes I like celebrity gossip, lol. During my daily read of celebrity news I found an article which included GoDaddy.

It appears that Michael Jackson’s estate is suing the owner of MichaelJacksonCasino.com and has included GoDaddy in that lawsuit. Why is GoDaddy involved, because they allowed the registrant to purchase the name using their service.

A rep for Go Daddy told TMZ, “While we have not seen the lawsuit, if we are named, Go Daddy plans to vigorously defend itself.” The rep adds, “When customers are involved in a legal dispute, Go Daddy complies with court orders.”

To read the full article visit TMZ.com.

Just curious, do you think registrars should be held liable for allowing registrants to purchase trademark or questionable domain names?
