Classic.
listen.co.nz - a domain name I bought a few years back and finally failed to renew this year during a period of financial crisis - has popped up on Trademe with a price tag of $15000. It used to just redirect to noizyland.com, but I had, over the years, dreamed up all sorts of fantastic purposes it could be put to use for. None of which I ever acted upon, time being about as rare as cash in my current state, but at least the possibility was there.
I tried selling another domain with what one might consider high potential a few months back on the same site, and didn't get one bidder. I suspect this auction might be going the same way. In fact, of the 198 listings in domain names on the site,
only 6 have bids, and only a couple are for more than a hundred bucks.
I mean, really, who's going to pay $25000 for
p.co.nz? Imagine how much actual P that would buy, after all. (Don't know? Actually, neither do I.)
On the other hand, if listen.co.nz does sell, I will be
absolutely gutted.
