Woohoo! I sold my first domain name at Sedo!

Hehehe, just accepted an offer of $11,000.00 for my 70virgins.com domain! WOOT! Has anyone here ever sold on Sedo? Anyways, I am excited and sceptical at the same time. Woot!

 

wow.. congratulations!!
That's a very good offer.
Your sale must soon appear at the top of sedo page.

 

Yep, I don't know if they wait until the transaction completes first or not...

 

Wow! When did you register the domain name?

 

A couple weeks ago.

 

Congrats on the quick turn-around Henny - not a bad turnover either ... 9 bucks for a domain to sell for 11K; sweet.

 

Wow, why would anyone pay that amount for 70virgins.com? I mean, couldnt they just have bought 69vigins.com? 71? Am I missing something here?

 

wow... i hope it's real!

i received an offer thru SEDO on 9/29/2005 (yeah, about 13 days ago)...

SEDO just e-mailed today to say they received the funds and NOW is transfer time.

so, it can take some time.

you have to keep us updated please.

11K for 70virgins.com - WOW!

good luck.

 

70 virgins is a punishment not a reward.

 

Could be something different..

found it here: http://www.stentorian.com/politics/terror/virgins.html

 

wow, thats a little high! wouldnt have expected it to sell for that much!

 

Well yea, that is what it refers to.. the 70 virgins received as a reward for martyrs.

 

Middle Eastern terror organizations (PLO, Osama bin Laden, and so on) tell their people that shahids (martyrs) will get the personal services of 70 or so virgins when they go to Paradise.

-
That has to be the biggest rip off of all time, I mean come on, they only stay virgins for so long, then what do you do , you blew your self up for a few good night!! lol I would rather just go to vegas

 

Thanks fantastic henny!! I sure hope it's genuine.

 

Whoa. The buyer sure loves to burn money...

 

Looks like it isn't going to happen, sedo has been unsuccesful in attemping to cotact the buyer

 

That's too bad Henny - sorry it didn't work out .... this time.

If you really think the domain is worth that ballpark figure, it might be worth doing a press release about it and generate some buzz.

 

wow I honestly would have not imagined 70virgins.com to have that much in it
edit: you sure the buyer didn't think he was getting a 2 week vacation with 70 virgins in Hawaii?

edit: didn't see the last few posts here, sorry

 

I had that happen last time I sold a domain on Sedo. After about a month, they transferred the domain to themselves (Sedo) and released to funds to me. They said they'd take it from there.

 

I've had something like that happen to me about 4 years ago on afternic when that place was hopping.
