OLU.com owner get’s kicked in the Man Jewels

As reported on DnJournal.com last night in the weekly sales report, "At SnapNames OLU.com yielded $5,002"

OUCH! Great Buy for the Buyer, very bad deal for the Seller!

This appears to have been an "In Auction" also known as a User Submitted domain name for sale. The one problem with the in auction domain names, many people Uncheck the search feature "in auction" and never search them because most are priced really high. I have talked to SnapNames about this several times since I see this as a problem. The best case for a seller, would be if one domain auction looked no different then another.

I think this was the case for this one. WebsiteNames.com, Inc. appeared to be (via whois.sc history) the seller on SnapNames.com and Marco Ferro is shown as the owner today via whois.

OLU.com is a Great Domain and easily a $10K domain! So the domain sold for $5,002 usd. Minus 20% Sellers fee… Leaves the seller with $4,001.60

Hey, Jamie, I picked up indoorgym.com today for $219. Is it me or did I just get a steal? Sometimes I have to pinch myself. It really is like 2003 all over.

Hi Tony,
I do like the domain, but I am not sure if it was a “steal”. The domain does not have a huge market as their are 0 exact searches for the term via wordtracker. It’s just doesn’t really fit the “internet”. I do see a niche market for an Installer of indoor gym’s though, so if the domain is used correctly, it can really pay off for you or somebody who purchased it from you. Also, only the .com is taken, so that might give you another idea. Potential buyers could be a workout equipment supplier, kid playground gym supplier or an installer/builder.
