RARE GRAB DOMAIN! 25,000 Backlinks! U.S. based "Web Design Firm"

    This is/was a U.S. based, web-design firm that had their website "live" and active up until the very last day before it dropped (yesterday). Well, someone over there screwed up BIG TIME. They apparently forgot to, or were unable (for what ever reason) to renew the domain and now I own it.

    If you do a little searching, you will see that they do very high quality work. Just FYI, a large percentage of those 25,000 backlinks are "home page" links on higher PR sites. There are quite a few well-known businesses/corporations that they have done work for - just follow a few of the backlinks and you will see what I am talking about.



    Backlinks:

    Google 282

    Yahoo 6,480

    MSN 5,825

    AlltheWeb 6,310

    AltaVista 6,500

    Alexa 287


    Registered - Godaddy - 5/20/07

    Auction Duration - 48 hours

    BIN - None

    Starting Bid - $100

    Payment - Paypal, Bank Wire or Escrow (buyer pays fees)


    Obviously, this is a real opportunity - not just an "aged domain" or "PR domain", but a GENUINE MONEY-MAKER!

    yeah, it's parked because it just dropped yesterday and I haven't changed the nameservers - if this auction goes the way that I think it will, there won't be any reason to.

    Just spoke briefly to the old owner of this domain who tells me that he has his lawyers working to retrieve this domain.

    If you are buying this domain you may need want to let the dust settle first.

    I am the Owner of VBWebSites.com and your right someone did screw up. The company that handled domains for me have paperwork being served in the morning and My lawyer will be working swiftly to resolve this issue as VBWebSites is a Registered Business in Virginia, USA since 2003.

    If the owner would like to resolve this, please email me at . The site saw 75-100 Visitors a day. I depend on this to provide.


    Thank You,
    Brady Behrman

    You should probably give it back.

    Hi

    I called the mobile number, see the screen shot in my first post. Answered on the second ring, no problem getting hold of him.

    I don't know American law, I don't know what recourse Brady has, but I do know that if I was in his shoes I would be kicking up such a stink that only a fool would want to get involved.

    The domain is great, but I think you'd have to pay ME to take it off your hands under these circumstances.

    I sent you an email - I think it would be best if you communicate with me there and not in an open forum.

    If that domain was at godaddy to start, before it dropped then godaddy will help, if not the new owner should just give it back, well either way he should give it back, Just think if that was your livlyhood,
