Weekend Special! All my Google Base names packaged
A few months ago, Google announced a major new project of theirs called Google Base. Although just in Beta now and deceptively simplistic looking at the moment, the final product will be a web-changing service and a threat to eBay and other classified ad sites.
When Google announced Base, I immediately grabbed 14 great names beginning with Base. I have them all currently listed with a minimum bid of $300.
But I’ve got too many damn names and I was looking for a nice group of them to sell as a set for a lower combo price. I’ll sell all of these names together for only $999. This is a bargain, any way you look at it. Think about other Google services like Adsense or Adworks–what would AdsenseAdvice.com and the rest go for? Alot. So, here’s your chance to buy by the pound, and sell by the ounce. First person to contact me gets it.

Pretty Gay Offering…IMHO
Hey Secret Domainer, thanks for your insight!
…or lack of. You obviously have no idea of Google’s intentions with Google Base. Talk to me in two years.
Rookie,
I’m a Domain Veteran…My forecast is that you will not be around in two years the way valuations are headed.
Hey, then what are you doing reading Domain “Rookie”? Glad I can help the “veteran” with my tips. LOL!
DR,
I like the idea and what your attempting to market. You’re attempting to build your own niche and simply said, that is respectable in this market.
However, this market is tough to crack at this point and time if you operate a portfolio less than 5000 (good estimate).
The costs of entry are so large that no newcomers unless your VC’s, HCA Capital & BuyDomains, UltSearch, NAI, VerticalAxis, MostWantedDomains, NavCat…It’s nearly IMPOSSIBLE to compete.
I respect your agressiveness and trendiness to attept and compete in the market. I do not know your financial position, although you’ve must be bleeding some serious red ink at this point.
It’s near impossible to sell a typical end-user looking for a domain for like $5000 to $10,000 or so.
I have taken note of you presence from being outbid on EasyFinancing.com, although we’re definitely not worried. Sure, we are your competition fighting for the same drops, although approximately ten times larger than you.
There’s only so many domains your organization can swallow at the $700 range before you run out of cash flow and unable to compete for those drops. We bid the name up to around the $600 range and honestly did not even want to add it to out portfolio holdings. We assumed someone would waste their cash flow and want it more than us.
Organizations such as our that make over XXXX per day, every day will purposely drive up the price of key drops, just to enable other smaller competitors to completely fall out. It’s just another tactical move.
This industry will have many winners and even more losers. The losers are start-ups that are brand new without much cash flow or liquidity. Just a warning.
EasyFinancing.com might make $1 a day from our statistical metrics. That’s a high-risk bet. Wagering usefull cash flow in order to profit two years down the road.
Nonetheless, we find your blog somewhat interesting.
Sincerely,
Somone
No worries DomainStar. I could buy 100,000 names and not run out of cash. This is all from my petty cash.

Sorry, but I understand the technology market and Base is going to be very, very big.
I don’t know why you’re getting grief from self-labelled ‘industry giants’. With their snotty behaviour they’ve already lost a potential customer, me. Way to go, guys.
Wow!
It must have hurt being outbid on EasyFinancing.com!
Somone,
1. You got it all wrong. Its not really about being big or small. The number of domains in your portfolio doesn’t mean anything by itself (where’d you get that 5000 figure?). This is more about buying and selling smart, and ppc income.
2. Even if EasyFinancing.com makes $1 a day, that doesn’t necessarily make it a bad investment (that would be $365 a year, and right now that’s a valuable domain). BUT I’m pretty sure it will make more than $1 a day (or sell at a good price). Or why were you bidding on it?.
3. “I do not know your financial position” kinda contradicts “approximately ten times larger than you”. I just think that’s funny!
Why are you so afraid of competition? If you are so big, smart and experienced you should know the vastness of this market. And you shouldn’t be so worried about “small” players.
I’m sure you can do better than that!
Mark,
Congrats on the number of replies! Controversy always means audience. And you know thats good for your blog…
Best of luck.
