I wanted to test the Bido.com auction platform for domain sales. I decided to list Verdict.org. I felt it had a good chance to do really well there. I've been following the closing prices at Bido.com and the better domains seem to get some traction and bring in respectable prices. I'm taking a calculated risk.
The response to Bido's newly announced Auction Acceleration Program was quite positive. We got hundreds of orders in just a couple days, and many bulk
inquiries as well. To those who are interested in more than 10 acceleration credits, we do offer better rates beyond the 10 maximum that the cart currently allows. We will soon introduce the new leve...
Marriages made in heaven? Veteran domain industry exec Craig Snyder (Internet REIT & Marchex) exchanges vows with Oversee.net where he will run SnapNames and Moniker. Meanwhile, real wedding bells ring for well-known IDN Investor Rubber Duck (AKA Dave Wrixon). We have pix of the bride & groom.

Seller files suit after $1.4M deal falls through.
Ad.com owner Marcos Guillen has filed a lawsuit against Directi and Skenzo for backing out of its auction purchase of Ad.com.
The sale caught mainstream attention when Skenzo bought the domain at Moniker's TRAFFIC auction in Silicon Valley this past April for $1.4M. But immediately after the sale,...
AOL stretches its trademarks beyond belief.
Apparently AOL thinks it owns every domain name that is some variation of "Advertising".
The company just filed a lawsuit against Advertise.com. Advertise.com was formerly known as ABCsearch.com until it bought the domain name Advertise.com for an undisclosed price earlier his year.
The lawsuit claim...
Two sides speak about Ad.com lawsuits.
Here's the latest on the news Domain Name Wire broke earlier today about Marcos Guillen suing Directi/Skenzo for backing out of its $1.4M purchase of Ad.com.
First, Oversee.net (or one of its subsidiaries) also sued Directi/Skenzo for breaching the contract. That case has now been combined with Guillen's...

When someone emails you an offer for a domain name, its important to do whatever it takes to find out who the potential buyer is. Not only is it important to allow you to maximize a potential sale, but its also important to head off any potential legal issues that could come as a result
