Where do you feel that that website is worth more than i just bought a house for? Its a single page with nothing more than a name and a picture.

What a laugher! According to two different domain appraisal websites tradgear.com is worth a whopping $210.00!!!

Don't hold your breath that anyone even wants your domain. Or spend the cash before you get it.

Ill trade an old cam.

If you're selling for that much you might have wanted to have some value added. With work it might be worth something, but hey 'MURICAH

What does "reserve off" mean? Is this a variation on the Nigerian bank scam?

"Hello Sirs. I am happy to announce that you have been selected to purchase my American Internet site for a 50,000 USD. My client died an untimely death in plane crash and family need money. So must sell at this below market price."

But seriously, sounds like a steal at only 50K.

Tradgear.net is available for $6.
Tardgear.com is also available for $6 and may be more apropos.

I'll raise the bid to a old cam, old hex and a couple bootied bail biners

Who else owns the name TradGear.com? -- no one. I'll include the FB page and the LLC filing.

It's not who else owns it - you do. It's who wants it? Probably no one. Certainly not at your price. Not even at the $210.00 it might be worth based on estimates. Can't fault a guy for trying though.

Does guideline #1 still apply here? It shouldn't.

Do you have any analytics data? How much traffic are you getting? I'm genuinely interested in these numbers. If none, don't count on getting much for domain front running.

You're about to learn a salient lesson in supply and demand.

Brent... Are you an Okie?

@Ryan P. - it's funny you say that. I work in economics and deal with supply and demand commodity issues everyday. There's always one person out there. Maybe even a corporation.

@C. Arch - Okie now living south of the OK border.

Figures. Only an okie would hustle web domains on MP. ;)

Actually I recognized the climb in your profile pic. Fun route. I love mt mag.

I assume this $50K price tag is to generate chatter. The domain may be worth more than $200 but I can't imagine anyone giving you more than a grand. There is no value in just the name. Sure, there may be a person or corporation but their demand will likely be much lower than the price of your supply (at $50K).

At any rate, I hope you are successful in selling the domain, regardless of what I think it is worth.

The MPers fall for it every time....

The whois data shows it's his domain. What makes you think it's a troll? Some people actually are clueless when it comes to domain name front running.

Still waiting on an answer to my original question...
