Rick Latona’s domain buying negotiating tip #1 - Knock them off their high horse. *Aim your rifle or sword at the horse’s knees for your best chance.
Imagine yourself in an ancient battle of good verses evil. Pick a side. You can be evil for this exercise if you want.
Now in this battle you are on foot holding nothing but a long sword. Your enemy is racing towards you on

Rooting for failure? Afternoon Folks!! The one thing I could never figure out is why some would waste their energy rooting for others to fail.

Why Do Domainers Love Aged Domains So Much? OK, I wish I could roll out a simple answer but nothing about domaining seems to be all that easy really.
I have often seen (mainly in expired domain auctions) that an odd ball domain that really makes little to no sense, be at a higher value than one would expect.
