Right...even though I paid almost nothing for the domain twenty years ago and I just sold it for $20,000. and just got burned all I care about is my original cost.
Or are you saying that we domainers are often selling domains for 10 to 100 times more than we could replace them for at any given moment. Really? So the domains we sell today for thousands of dollars are in your opinion easily replaceable at any given moment for 10 to 100 times less? And you are saying that we wouldn’t really care about getting burned other than for replacement cost. Have you taken a look at the long threads people create here at NP over getting burned for piddling amounts of money?
So you’re still claiming that you think deeply about these posts of yours? Or is your thinking just different from all the rest of us.
I know you love getting personal in your posts and utterly lack any sense of tact.
I dislike that kind of communication, but I can speak the language you can relate to, obviously.
I am going to type it really slowly so that you can understand.
I used the word "replacement cost". A good hand reg of 20 years ago cannot be replaced by another hand reg today. I hope you can take few seconds off, think, even if superficially, and grasp this otherwise simple concept. I hand registered manat/com long time ago. It is official currency of 2 countries. Even GD values it at 5 figures. Its replacement cost to get a currency of another middle size country would be 5 or 6 figures.
Most of the names sold at $1K-5K range, i.e. 90%+ of all sales are names that you can restock at $xx to low $xxx. And, then, again, you might have hit a gem that might be difficult to replace. Then treat it accordingly and ask for extra verification and do extra admin work. For the rest, the added cost/effort of admin or, even worse, paying third party extra fees would be higher than occasional loss here and there, especially if it just another brandable.
I bought today 15 names at GD closeouts, paid around $220 total for those, if someone snatched any of those few seconds before, I wouldn't have lost sleep over it. And if I lose one of those in a fraud transaction, I can go and buy another name for another $15 and restock.
Oh, and I hate to break it to you, but you are not "the rest of us", you are you, unless you are one of those Star Trek shapeshifter guys living in liquid state in a lake or one of those Borgs, that is )) "Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated" )))))))
