Wow, I would've never thought that Domain would be worth so much. Kinda makes me wish I was the one who had sold it.
I see no profit in hunting for the domain names with such price. Better to get domain name and invest all money in the developiment.
When you have countless amounts of dollars laying around in your bank roll.. you can pay high dollar amounts for domains. If he was willing to pay $40,000 plus for the domain you can only expect him to invest thousands of dollars into the development of the domain. I highly doubt he would plan on re-selling it any time soon.
Agreed, he will want to make a profit on this site, and I doubt he would be able to resell it for as high as he bought it for. I agree with you about the development costs, he will want to spend a lot to make a VERY lot
Insure.me sold for $68,500 to an individual that runs an internet investment firm. I talked to him prior to my max bid of $40K for sync.me. Yes the guy from .ph was a hard guy to be up against and did not seem to back down. He jumped from 22K to 35K in one bid. I think that we had about 3 other people biding and they all drop out at about 20K. I ended up with SyncWith.me and GoSync.me for a lot less at the basic fee with no auction. I had big plans for sync.me, but will put the money into further development of our unique personal algorithm for an intention-based search and sync engine that queries the web on a constant basis to provide information that is relative and specific to user intentions.
this sale is quite unpredictable at best, sync is not even a very good keyword to begin with, match it with a relatively new and untested vanity TLD and it's kind of shocking, i guess i have to a agree with the earlier post that if you managed to found an end-user with deep pockets, possibilities are endless.
i think sir, you're going into the right direction, i'm no one to say that it could turn out to be a blessing in disguise but in my honest opinion, money spent on development is money well spent
