    Yeah, like gustavus mentioned, it is squatters. Which I don't see the point, as they don't put the name up for sale anywhere.

    They wait until the name gets older. Older a name gets the more its worth.

    So they hold on it...get more people to view the page and then they turn around and sell it for 1500 or 2grand after 2 or so years.

    What are you confused about?

    The first quoted text, was me referring to a 3rd party company that had registered the domain name through Godaddy.com. They now have it up for sale as a premium domain name with Godaddy.com for almost $300.

    The second quoted texted, was me telling easyrecycle that as Gustavus mentioned, most domain names that are registered but no site attached, are squatters, or like easyrecycle said, people who buy domains, put a park page on them, and wait for their value to increase.

    The confusion comes from...name was taken by someone else and put up for sale(1st quote) by squatters who just sit on them and don't put them up for sale(second quote).

    they wait to put them up for sale. or they put them up for sale at a much higher price. either way, its out of the question to buy it back for one reason or another, kz.

    Yes, it was bought from another company (I didnt know it was expired, and by the time I realized, I was out of the "redemption" period).

    If the name was still available, at a price near what I paid for it, I would just re register it, but no way, will I ever pay almost $300 for a domain. Now a domain plus a website that is fully functional, and already has business or has the potential, then maybe.

    Might not have been the greatest name in the word, but what I had at the time.

    Some 3rd party company registered it, and now it is up for sale as a premium domain name with GoDaddy.com for $280, and I am NOT about to pay that much for a domain name. I will just register a new one for $5.

    Keeping with your old name the following is available. Checked at godaddy.com

    bidandbuy4less.com


    You can also remake the logo so it says "B&B 4 Less!"

    is available! Just $11.99*/yr

    Sorry George, but this
    corbisauctions.com and caldwellauctions.com
    is NOT this
    simple, easy to remember, so when people tell their family, friends, co workers, etc it will be easy for them to remember.
    No offense, but keep on working on it. And good luck to you!

    anyone got any thoughts on ixtremebid.com

    I think it sounds nice. After all, people do sometimes bid extremely for items because they want them so badly.

    I tried other variations for this name, but this is the only one that is available, but like I said, sounds nice, or it could be, because I am tired too lol

    Only thing I could come up with was maybe lowballbid.com or lowballauction.com.

    One thing you might want to do to keep from having the same issue happen with your website name is put a reminder to renew on your outlook calendar a few weeks before the current name expires. Have it a recurring reminder so that you can get reminded every year (or whatever the renewal cycle is).

    I think he's referring to ixtremebid.com...that's not how you spell extreme or even a slang way of spelling it...just doesn't make sense.

    I know how to spell extreme, but all I really did was take the "e" off of it is all. iextremebid.com is also available, if that helps people's opinion of it.

    Also, I wasn't looking for a "slang" way of spelling it really. Just a unique way. Just like anymore, you see people always saying "x-mas" instead of "Christmas"

    Makes more sense now...I wasn't reading it right. The "I" is separate as in I xtremebid.com

    Correct, like "I xtreme bid on all items that I buy from auctions" etc.

    Here is a rough idea on the logo so far.

    Just got bored last night and created it. Slowly learning photoshop, but my wife is really good, so probably will have her re do it.

    I am still thinking of other names, but so far, I like this one.

    Yes I was refering to extreme spelled right. Now that you say the I is seperate it makes better sence but i read it as extremebid.com You said you wanted something easy to remeber and not spelling words correct is not an easy to remember thing for most people. Just my opinion take it for whats its worth which aint much. Dont even think its worth olddudes .02
