I have wanted this URL for years

[Stifko]

a few years ago he wanted $15,000.00 for ksm.com. they are his initials. who knows how much he wants for it now. he is doing nothing with it and I have a small business that I would like to use it for. how do you look up when his ownership expires? maybe I can get it without him selling it to me. can anyone email him to find out what the asking price is now? he won't respond to my emails anymore. is there a way that I can snipe it from him?

lol, good luck. he's managed to keep it for almost 12 years and has it locked up for about 4 more.

only way you'll get it is to buy it from him.

He's smart.

Investing in URLs....hmmm

 

[meltdown75]

i know this is crazy... thinking right out of the box and everything... but...

why not use another URL?

:Q

 

[Juno]

ksm1.com?

 

[2Xtreme21]

ksm.net?

 

[Stifko]

ksm.net would work, but I think it is taken.

thanks guys, the 3 letter urls are popular.

if no big company has bought him put by now, I kind of doubt one will in the future.

It would be funny, if the URL owner reads ATOT as well...

You want to put Kiddie SadoMasochism online eh? I can see why he wants $15,000.

yeah that would be funny, maybe he would give me a deep discount then!

He bought it and it's his. Legally, nothing wrong.

How do you know he didn't buy it and just wants to keep it for himself because it has value to him and no one else? It's like buying the hosue you grew up in - maybe you just want ownership, even if you don't own it.

Yes, that situation sucks, but you just have to move on and find an alternative. This is just like the real estate market, IMO.

I know it is his, but he is not doing anything with it and has not for many years.

It says that it is for sale and he has had it for sale for a long time too.

I will figure out an alternative I guess. ksm.com is so catchy though.

A 3 letter .com URL is worth a lot. Maybe not 15K but that is not that unrealistic of a price IMO.

I wanted to get nakedfrog.com for quite some time... but for years, some guy owned it and basically did squat with it. I checked up on it on about a monthly basis... and then I must have missed out when it became available, because I checked it again, and it was a gay porn site.

Well, who wouldn't want to get a piece of that action?

Uh, financially speaking, of course. Yes, it's all about the Benjamins.

I wanted abittoospicy.com for a long time, I gave up. It still isn't being used for anything.
