Hang On To Your Domain Name!

Last October I decided to give up my k6cu.com website, and go with this BLOG instead. Well, last week I thought perhaps I could start it up again and add some photos.

Well, LO AND BEHOLD, some bottom-feeder snapped up the K6CU domain name! Apparently this guy watches for any domain names that expire and then buys the rights to it ($10 per year is the going rate). He then puts it on his website that it's available.

Here is the email correspondence I had with him. BEWARE -- if you have a website, keep the domain name even if you don't want to keep the website active! Lesson learned!

Subject: RE: Your offer for K6CU.com

Bill,

The owner of this domain has listed the sales price for this domain at $4000 USD, but is willing to entertain a reasonable offer.

To make an offer, reply to this email with the offer you would like me to present to the owner of the domain.

To expedite negotiations, the seller has requested minimum bid of $1000.

Regards,
