 Cowboys.com now UnSold from TRAFFIC Live Auction

Cowboys.com attained a winning bid at TRAFFIC Miami Live Auction for $275,000

......HOWEVER it is now posted as back in Silent Moniker Auction......I heard there was evidently a "Hiccup" with the bidder(s).

What are the finer details on exactly what happened ?

That's interesting. IMO the winning bid was low - maybe someone felt their higher (phone?) bid wasn't entered correctly during the live auction?

Probably just a glitch or misunderstanding. Happens in live auctions.

I believe it was won on one bid so sounds likely something like that happened. Personally I thought the price was on the high side, it is a name that mainly appeals to one buyer.

Not sure how that could happen and/or be allowed by Moniker - TRAFFIC guys.....and then be put back in auction.

I was told by a couple of people in the Auction room that the Dallas Cowboys were bidding and that they had winning bid.....don't know how accurate this info really is now.

Let's stay tuned !

when I spoke to their attorney...he was dead serious, had no idea that it was $275K and was shocked when he received the purchase agreement ( he thought he bought it for $275.00 - thats right two hundred and seventy five dollars!). I almost asked him what he was smoking.

after falling out of my chair....not ever experiencing anything like this one, we are going to let this dog stay sleeping for a while. someone should pick this name up and it will ultimately cost the cowboys millions when they finish that $800M stadium they are building. I told the attorney that my guess was that they probably sell $275K in popcorn and beer in one game and that they were foolish not to look at their brand in a different way.

We find a way to turn dirt into diamonds anyway and this will be well past us.

Monte, you'd better check that the buyer of computer.com understands he's gotta pay $2.2 Million, not $2.20

That story doesn't make any sense at all.

While watching the auction webcast, I remember hearing the auctioneer announcing a sold domain (sorry, can't remember which one) and mistakenly omitting the part with "thousand dollars" from the price. Monte quickly corrected him.

I think it is hard for people not in the domain business to comprehend the enormous value in domain names. Many people wrongly assume that a few hundred dollars is a lot of money to pay for a domain. There is still a long road ahead in educating the general public about the value of quality generic and descriptive domain names.

Yes I think so, very common.

Warning: Appraisal Scam and Hoax Spam
All domainers should be aware that there is a long running scam in operation where domain owners are contacted by a supposedly interested party who requires them to perform some kind of paid service - usually an appraisal - prior to completion of the sale. This is a scam designed purely and simply to get you to pay for the service. Further details are availabe here.

Note that in the past they have tried to discredit this site and the warning we are giving by sending out fake spam pretending to be from ourselves.

Please Note:
Domainstate.com does not and cannot vouch for the authenticity of any item listed for sale on this site. We advise anyone considering buying a domain name, product or service to ensure the seller has legitimate rights. If unsure on how to do this, please seek legal advice.

If anyone has reasonable grounds to suspect foul play, please notify the moderators/admins at this site with full details.

Advice given on this site is only the opinion of the poster and should not be treated as a replacement for legal or professional advice.

We reserve the right to remove domains that are listed here that we consider - in our sole discretion - to have no legitimate reason for their registration other than to trade off the goodwill of a third party.
