We barely finish writing Yahoo still dead pooling another project, Gallery, we get a tip that Yahoo apparently another to save money / plan make the sale of domains in its possession. That is exactly what they did with contests.com sold during a live auction last night.
What is really strange but (apart from an Internet giant actually sell a domain instead of buying one), the price at which it sold. Contests.com is a killer domain name. People like my mother's love nothing more than going online and searching for matches going to win stuff. But how crazy is that Yahoo it just sold for $ 380,000.
Let in some perspective. In February, Toys.com sold for $ 5,100,000 at an auction. Sure, that's a better area, but no more than 10 times better. And a few weeks ago, Candy.com sold for $ 3,000,000.
How Yahoo failed to even one million to ensure the name is beyond me. Just poor luck in the auction? This man apparently left, right before the auction began last night is also baffled.
I thought I would really like to know why Yahoo would still sell it in the first place? I know times are tough, but Yahoo is really $ 380k is a lot of help in the long term? Hell no, it would probably be better to keep the domain name and just a load of these ads, perhaps even Google ads. Or, I do not know, carry out some games on Yahoo. People love that stuff on the web, I hear. |
