It is certainly not going to go away anytime soon. I thought about it more and come to think of it, what other vernacular will they use to describe a bailout bill? So I would say that term will most likely become a part of our permanent vocabulary everytime the economy tanks :) John http:/unplain.com **Jamie Says** Thanks for reconsidering the "Shelf-Life". I see any "bill" passed in the near and all together future that is any hint towards money, it will be like an extension of the Bailout Bill and compared to the Bailout Bill. I think it's fairly priced at $3.3K considering what you see sell in that range. Just from DnJournal.com reported sales this week... SpotMark.com $3K, CrazyBike.com $3,388 Tool24.com $2,820, UseNetwork.com $2,900 etc. How often do you hear those terms in the news? Even Higher ones like 7on7.com for $7,700, 123Pets.com $10K, PlayTube.com $20,500 and even Hunk.net at $17,000. I think I could go on and on with domains reported sold that I think BailoutBill.com is Better then. You’re right about the “Shelf-Life”. It is certainly not going to go away anytime soon.

If money is not an issue and you can risk asking for a higher price, go for it. That's $1000 dollars worth of chips you're playing at the table and what you're holding may be the only hand you'll ever be able to play... Hopefully they'll buy from you! :) John http://unplain.com **Jamie Says** Thank you John. I sent off my reply to the offer and put my price of $3,300. I Know many would of Raised their price once finding out it was a "lawyer", but I asked what I thought the domain name itself is worth. Also, this "Shelf-Life" part I am having a hard time with. For one, I do not think this will be the last "Bailout Bill" we will see. Any bill passed for 700 Billion Dollars is something not forgotten fast or anytime. I went to Google, then selected "news" for the term Bailout Bill. Just news from "last day", included 7,881 returns. This bill was passed in October of 2008. I do not see it going away anytime soon or even ever. Just my 2 cents ;) http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&client=news&ie=UTF-8&q=%22bailout%20bill%22&sa=N&tab=bn Hey Jamie,

I think that if someone is willing to pay an attorney then you can ask for more than $3300. After your research did you find out who the lawyer represents? Like you said, that would determine the true sales price. No matter what you do, best of luck and congrats! **Jamie Says** Hey Patrick, I really do not see who they represent but I do know, the law firm has 20, yes Twenty Lawyers named among "The best lawyers in America". They hold several offices in several states and have been in business for 50 years. You already know that I love the domain name Jamie.

This is a piece of history and like history it has a shelf life. Selling now while the name/topic is still hot is the smart move. As for price, I struggle with that still with my own domains. However, even $1,000 goes a long way in today's domain market. On a different but related topic, I usually get my drops exclusively from Snap until the whole Standard Tactics thing came out a couple of weeks ago. Now, I split time between Snap and Godaddy. Last week, I won a name that my Godaddy rep tells me came from Standard Tactics. It is a one-word category killer dotcom. But the term is relatively new and obscure to most of the population and apparently to domainers too. I got it for $1,200. I've parked it for 2 days on SedoPro now. The first day it made $10. So far today with 4 hours left, it's made over $20. This name might go for $xxx,xxx in a couple of years. The point to my story is if you know how to find bargains, which I KNOW YOU ARE, it's sometimes best to not get too greedy. **Jamie Says** Thank you Tony! I hope the domain you picked up Does go for $xxx,xxx ;) . As always, I'd be interested to hear what you picked up. :) I agree with Steve.

Now is a great time to sell the name since the bailout is a hot topic on everyone's minds. In five years or ten years, that more than likely won't be the case, and you'll have an $xx - $xxx name instead of a four-figure name. I'm not sure if BailoutBill.com was a hand-registered name or not, but I'd sell if I received a $1500-$2000 offer. As a buyer (reseller), I would not consider the domain for anything over $1000 because it's simply not a good name for the future. Best of luck, and have a great weekend! Steve **Jamie Says** Thank you Steve! It wasn't a hand reg, but I did feel I got a fair deal on the domain. Jamie,
