The Heidi Powell case came to an end yesterday. She lost the case and of course she is upset. I hate to see her lose her domain but there was an ingredient in the case that made every thing difficult. Bankruptcy. When people are owed money things get vicious. I am not implying what happened here was fair but I am saying when people are owed money and someone is willing to pay big money for your assets, the probate is going to take that money to pay off your debts. Even if it is something you deeply care about. They just don’t care how important it is to you. If its an asset that someone is willing to pay for, they are going to take the money. She would have the domain if she didn’t have the bankruptcy. This comes across as harsh but bankruptcy is harsh. People think you can just declare bankruptcy, wipe away your bills, and keep your best stuff. It doesn’t work that way. You only keep the basic necessities to live and they try and get money for everything else. The new Heidi Powell is an awful person to us but to the original Heidi’s creditors she is a savior. The reason our industry is so supportive of Grandma Powell is she was down on her luck and someone was trying to take advantage. It sounds like the domain was her pride and joy. It was her. Her name, he representation on the web. I get that. Unfortunately, domains are unique, people’s names are not. And people are willing to fight for their names and often pay big money. The latter part I am happy for. Here are today’s names. Click for most recent 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
Never understood anything about the Heidi story until read that.
Shane, your Heidi comment is right on. Normally Heidi would have won that case. People with scruples, something the new Heidi doesn’t have, would have not kick her while she was down.
