It’s always an adventure when you post that you are looking for a domain name at NamePros. Or anywhere really. So I am looking for a one word, non plural, noun .IO. Pretty simple explanation. I might as well have written. I am looking for a domain. I received plenty of names that fit the description but just as many that weren’t even close. I expected many to be bad and my expectations were 100% correct. I expected most people to not put a price despite me telling them to do so. They didn’t. And I expected that if a price was put on it that most would put the $1000 max that I said I was willing to pay. I was half right. Only 50% put that price. The others were reasonable for the quality of domain they were selling. My favorite name was Asthma.io. Not to pick on the owner but I have to admit I giggled when it came in as a choice. Can you imagine using this as your brand? “Our product is so good it will take your breath away” Not a bad tagline. And finally there was the inevitable post from NamePros saying that I did something wrong in the post. Every time I post something I get it cleaned up or “do this or else”. I think I’m just a little too stupid to post on a forum. I stated that I would pay $1000 max per name in my post. Then I get this message. “Please update your original post with a numerical minimum/maximum per domain budget within 24 hours” I read and reread that statement and still don’t understand how the $1000 max per name” doesn’t tell buyers my ranges. Do people really need to know my minimum or how many names I want? Another case where rules are in place but nobody enforcing the rules pays attention to why they are there. But again, I’m just a dumb little nursery plant guy.
I am also looking for LLLL.coms that end in C or A that have good letters. I am not going to even bother posting that because it will be a train wreck. I’ll probably get 5Ls, numerics, and .ly. So I’ll just keep hunting those down myself. You’ve heard me say I only buy names when I sell and I had been dry for a while but sold a few names so I need to replace them. Most of the money is going to taxes but there was enough left to pick up a few names.
I actually got back on a schedule yesterday for the first time in almost 3 weeks. It hasn’t stopped snowing or at least a chance of snow in a week. They weren’t big snows but we also salt so every night I have to stay up and watch. I went out Monday from 3 am to 8 am and then back out from 11 pm to 3:30 am the next day. I took some naps but it was brutal. Also strained my wrist ligament picking up 50 bags of 50lbs of salt or the side of the truck. Getting too old to be lifting bags all night. What used to keep me in shape is now tearing me up. I’m still pretty strong for a 49 year old but that’s not saying much compared to a 25 year old. Although my doctor thinks it strained from the salt but the real damage is from typing all day and night. Reaching for the space bar 4 million times is just as bad as reaching for a 50lb bag of salt. Although in both cases I actually enjoy them and get paid pretty well to do it. Snow also helps pay for equipment that otherwise would be sitting there. And writing keeps me sane and helps me keep buying domains. Like Asthma.io Here are today’s names, Click on them for current price

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. I Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by me Shane, or Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything I say is based on my own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or my opinion is correct. I hand choose my names but I am paid to make this list by the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good
Those guys has to be punished one way or another. Maybe blocking them like auction houses. Any human being that cant understand whats written has no place in an industry forum wasting others time.
Snowing all week? Been warm and sunny all week here in Florida but we’re just sitting here waiting to die 😉
I am starting to think that waiting to die in beautiful weather is better than living in a frigid tundra
John – great comment
Shane – almost anything is better than living in a frigid tundra
The last time I asked for CVCV.coms at NamePros, I got a lot of replies. Needless to say, not one of them was a CVCV.com 😉
We share the dissatisfaction when a seller abuses a buyer’s request for specific types of domains, and we understand the frustration that it causes.
On NamePros, it is considered spam if a seller sends domain names that do not meet the criteria of a buyer, and we do not allow spam. We have buyers that report this issue to us whenever they receive a domain name that does not match the criteria they’ve outlined in their request, and we take swift action to issue spam infractions to those sellers whenever it is brought to our attention. We encourage you to report these issues to us, so that we can improve the experience for everyone.
While we do make an effort to manually check as many public requests from buyers that we can, and clean up any domain names posted by sellers that do not belong, there’s only so much we can catch without help from sellers. For instance, it’s impossible for us to catch this type of spam in direct messages unless the buyer reports it to us and then invites us to that direct message. Mentioning the problem without reporting the offenders doesn’t help; the offenders need to be reported for change to happen.
If you have received any domains outside of your specified criteria, please use the report feature so that a moderator can investigate further and take any appropriate actions.
Thanks for your help.
I once had a guy on namepros initiate an infraction against me, I launched an infraction against his infraction though so it turned out pretty good.
Hello kind sir … might I interest you in the fantastic domain name …
Cornhol.io
The asking price is a very reasonable 1000 rolls of TP (for my bungholio)
