yemight2776:
And is not must you respond to all post and if you want to, you have to advice in a polite way.

Shut up Next time don't bring your Domains here for appraisal. If are a master in what you do you don't have to seek validation and opinions from other people.

yemight2776:
And people like you should have passed my post.

You are being dramatic, you dropped names for appraisal which some people responded with their different opinions and you are getting upset.

This is internet grow some thick skin.

If no one had responded to you, you'll still feel ignored.

OCEANS7:
Thanks Bro...I contacted end-users with similar domains / names. The list wasn't much, and was done on Linkedin. In fact, I connected with 1 end-user directly with my 9ja acct (as I couldn't get an email). In total, I'd say I reached over 60 folks (plus, followed-up).

My pricing was pegged that way cos someone here once stated that you can't get offered $x,xx if you don't "ask" for it! @Budosky(or so...)

The rationale for buying the name was because (to me) - it's a popular American name. Outside of that, there wasn't anything special about the name. Its been sitting at ED for long before I picked it. (Truth is, it was a gamble... a few similar names I picked along-side this, have TOTALLY flopped!) las las, na God dey send buyer...Its not by might!

I really appreciate this elaborate explanation, The God that did for you will do it for everyone of us.

OCEANS7:
Amen! Amen!! Amen!!!

May God BLESS each one of us as we forge ahead.

Thanks and congrats

He obviously isn't concerned about their lives or the state of the structure, he is just throwing a jab.

If he needed to display maturity especially being the son of a sitting Governor, then he ought to be talking about his father's progress on the southern Kaduna killings or he should just stay mute.

Whether he's throwing a jab or not he made sense if that's Abia state truly then the governor needs to work. And I like how he pointed it out.

I wish El Rufai too would join in throwing this type of jab I don't mind as long as the people they are throwing it at respond with a positive action.

XXLMANDIGO:
It's up to him to prove. Issues like this are very sensitive especially in the USA.

The lady has no case

XXLMANDIGO:
This Doctor lives in the West yet openly admitted that he actually had intercourse with her when she was drunk. That's a bait he should first try to wriggle himself out from. I am not supporting the lady but a drunk person can almost not give true consent in a sexual encounter.

You don't understand this issue, he said they were both drunk so no way the law will do anything to him in that situation, he was drunk as well. He didn't say the lady alone was drunk.

SH ACCEPTED

I have never had an experience in any form, but that does not mean such brutalities and harassment doesn't exist.
.
As a youth in this country, your mannerism, code of dressing and conduct matters a great deal on how these intelligent outfit relates to you. Truth is, street lingua and pidgin English dey sweet, but when you're with these guys don't try using such; if you can't speak good English, use your native language in the most modest way.
.

Above all, living a simple and quite life won't Rob you off, your wealth and ruggedity cum intelligence....(Hush and Mompha are good enough for you to learn quite living like Zucker).

You are very wrong, it has nothing to do with your dressing or language. See I've been a victim before I wasn't even dressed well or wearing expensive clothes.

The phone I was using then has a broken screen but they still harassed me. Went through everything on my phone including whatsapp messages and later asked me for money. I didn't even have any money but they seized my phone and told me to go bring money to collect it. And gave me directions on where to bring the money to whenever I have it.

They told me they are pitying me and that's why they are letting me go to find money. That phone spent 24 hours with them, infact I almost left it with them if not for my sim.

I was thinking it's about dressing and all that before until it happened to me. It was also the day I find out that every of their oga is benefiting from it.

There's nothing beautiful or special in Asaba. Nothing at all even though it's a very small place. Stop hyping it.

All Venzal thread changes life, I only have myself to blame for not taking action when I came across the fiverr thread. I was wasting time with meaningless things then.

For as many as those of us that will take action this time around, we'll not regret it.

Thanks bro

Meklex:
While I wait for venzal to reply, here's what I do before/after a client places an order —I ask for 3 things:

1. Website/competitors website

2. Target audience

3. Email objectives.

Boss is TACT an initial to something else,


PS who knows the page Venzal talked about PASSO I need the meaning back.

Chukael:
Hmm na early morning we dey o

Lol paddy no worry, na him Wan start problem where there's none.

He has a typical American youth mentality is that not awesome

You can see his words are so heavy and it's causing tsunami.

sweetsell:
By the time Ugwuanyi finish castrating Enugu Igbos will pray. never to have the likes of him n ikpeaee ever again as Governor.

Really? What did ugwuanyi do

northvietnam:
Can u list what he has done in Enugu please ...

Do u Know Enugu state university of Science and technology staff, the only State university In Enugu state , there staff haven’t been paid MAY salary and today’s date is 17 June

Do u want to tell me that Enugu hasn’t collected allocation from federal Government that they won’t pay Esut Staff

Hmm that's bad, he should pay up

Depressed101:
To the first emboldened text, I have, but mellow-tiger/king is not one of them. To the second emboldened, you don't talk like someone who is learning. You just like talking up and down, your words nor get weight, I am just replying you because of fellow domainers reading through the thread. sorry to say this, you have a typical Nigerian youth mentality and it's very bad. Imagine you are in a board meeting, and this is all you have to say... So let me guess, those that are not making sales have bad head?.....
If you continue to say grace, guy it's a one way to laziness..

I never in anywhere said if you are not making sales you have a bad head or are you unfortunate? Your moniker says a lot.

And your words has so much weight it crashed your brain.

Oga keep quiet! with your typical Somalian youth mentality and stop messing up the thread with your saliva.

In all honesty the man is trying, people that are saying he's not doing anything has never even been to the southeast talk more of Enugu state.

That man is doing well, I've never seen Enugu people complaining about his governance especially that Rev Fr there.

grandstar:
Chief,
I have nothing against being advised or even criticized as long as it is constructive. Brandables belongs to the creative industry and in it, criticism is a part and parcel of. You have art critics for instance. Therefore, endeavor never to take criticism personally as long as it is polite.

I brandished 2 names here and they were rubbished. In retrospect, when I think about it, they had some point. A name may do well offline may not do well online. Domino's Pizza may simply call itself dominos.com online and remove the pizza for example. When I tested what I just wrote, I found out I was right. It came up not dominos.com but dominos.ng and that is because I am in Nigeria.

If you want to enter into a business, won't you research what will sell? Which market dey move? Or will you just jump in blindly? Brandables is just like any other market. We need to study it before diving into it. By educating ourselves, we will spare ourselves from making some big mistakes. It will also ensure that success is more likely and can come more quickly.

Someone educated us here that brandable names with suffixes such as hawk, tiger, owl, and fox do well and are liked by Squadhelp. So, it may make sense to register FinanceFox rather Financesaree. And I do agree with him there. That is education. It is better to focus more on what has proven to move that what you think will move. Yes, SH isn't God and I have always felt Afternic too holds massive potential in the brandable marketplace and they accept all names. Budosky who has sold at least 3 brandables for over $4,000 each, all had them sold on Afternic and not SH or BB.

I must also be honest with you, I was hardly discomforted when they said they did not like the names here. I saw the criticism then as their personal opinion. and it was channeled to me politely then. It was therefore constructive. Constructive may be right and may also be wrong.

It was at a much later date that things changed but I had to get past that quickly.

So, don't take my criticism personally. It wasn't meant to harm or hurt you in any way. I even appreciate the fact you could condemn a name like mellowtiger.com after it successfully sold for $2,899. Most people are swayed by success when making criticism. Some may like the name for the simple reason it sold for such a sum. Others love the name whether it sold or not. I appreciate that conviction of yours even though I disagree with your assessment of the name. Trust me, if I had seen that name before him, I would have bought it or written it down as a name to buy in the future.

OK boss understand you

U1:
Welcome to our party!

Thanks brother, the miracle will go around.

Depressed101:
oga they are telling why the name sold, and you are trying to catch fly that is none existent.... You should ask him why he regged it in the first place and slammed that price on it... That name is a good name, a very good brandable name if you ask me, the word "tiger is a very sort after name in Asia" just like the number 8". Please don't abuse grace, instead learn and work harder, dalu

Story
The name was rejected by brandable marketplace and sold on Afternic. In terms of pricing so many people have different reasons for their pricing, sometimes out of annoyance you can up your domain price and it will get sold at that price to your own surprise.

In this same place where people are selling geo domains 200/250 some people sold 750 up and you know what many of them confirmed that it was not their initial pricing but after outbounding without any response out of annoyance they just increased the price and left it there. Gracefully enough it got sold.

See Mr I'm not saying you shouldn't learn or do your research before registering a name what I said and will stand on it is that grace plays a major role in the business. Have you not seen a sale that you thought shouldn't have happened.

Calm down Mr big man, I'm still even learning.

priceaction:
Sorry it was my mistake to pokenose, I won't do that again. Good luck dear.

Thanks
You are welcome

grandstar:
That name is cool anyday.

People treat investments in several ways. Elon Musk, owner of Tesla motors owns x.com. I am sure he hasn't developed it. I am also sure he bought it for nothing less than $1m.

Some people buy art paintings for $50m and instead of hanging it on their wall, they store it instead in an underground bunker for years.

Whatever she does with it is her choice. She may eventually decide to resell for 10 times that figure in 10 years time. I may not even mind buying it for $7k if I had the funds and using it as a holding company.

OK sir, whatever rocks your boat. You in particular has dropped some names here that people thought it's nonsense and even dished out advice that people believe is out of fashion so you are supposed to understand my point.

But it's all good.

I'm yet to register like everyone else I hope I get lucky I'm waiting on Venzal to add his finishing touches to the class before registering..

And the ID that I don't have is something else, even my Payoneer I've been using it without ID.

EGUNSOLA14:
even mellowtiger got rejected by sh according to the seller.

Good thanks for this input oga Priceaction are you seeing this. Because that name sold on Afternic for $2999 and not on SH.

priceaction:
Chairman, to start with, that name "mellowtiger" is pure brand, that really makes sense and applicable to many industries.

Secondly, this is adjective-noun agreement which is one of the powerful tools in domaining, also it is in singular form. The more powerful the combination, the more it will attract customers, like- slayqueen, smartreader, justme, redcolor, and millions of such.

thirdly, this name contain animal name which attracts brand investors and start up companies these days,

fourthly, look at the definition of tiger compare it with the definition of mellow below and see may be it makes sense to you.
Yes, grace happens alot in domaining, but if you use this mentality often, especially in brandables, you will go on registering spray and wasting money. Every business has its own rule that must be followed. After following the rules well, then pray for grace.

Now what does fiberpeer and zipfins both in kings mean to you. And according to you, they are very good and sound to hear because or likely short and pronounceable. Can you analyse them.
Why do you think SH are very strict in picking names and what so you think "describe what your name means to end users" mean or you think they are just for fun?
That's what we are saying. But you can register them if you think they are ok and submit them to SH and try your luck. But personally I will rather hangreg some better name than that unless they have powerful semrush values and strong backlinks, which makes them existing and functioning websites before it got dropped.

All this because the name has sold already. You can defend it till tomorrow but fact remains that if the name was dropped here prior to the sale a lot of people here including you will not see any value in it.


I never said anything about the two domains you wrote there I was talking to someone that said the name the guy dropped can't be compared to Mellow tiger, secondly that's not the only name the guy dropped. Some has already been registered according to someone here.

Again the SH you are using as a yardstick rejects name and other marketplace accepts, and the name gets sold. It happens here very often.

Like it is always said here the value of a domain name lies in the eyes of the end user. Again I'm not implying that one should be registering names without due diligence.

grandstar:
One, the name sounds nice

Secondly, Asians love the word tiger. I'm sure you must know an Asian brand with the word tiger written on it. Most likely Chinese. I think Indians like it to an extent.

The Chinese in particular have money and are notorious for ramping up the price of assets generally and domain names may not be immune.

All the things you just said didn't add any meaning to the domain. Do you know how much it sold for? 2999 bro!!

The person only installed WordPress on the domain. See I'm believing that grace is very important in this biz just like any other business.

If that guy had dropped that name here for appraisal a lot of people here will advise him to get a refund.
