Hello. My name is Andres Kello and I'm trying to break the world record for the most expensive domain by selling TheRecordBreakingDomain.com for $12,000,001. The problem is, I've been criticized for choosing such a "long" and "ugly" domain. I naturally disagree, but that criticism, together with one red paperclip, has given me yet another idea that's never been tried before. I'm going to show my critics that it's not about the domain; it's about the idea! So this time I'm going to start with an unquestionably ugly domain, oneuglydomain.net, and I'm going to trade it up for prettier and better domains until I end up with a beautiful domain worth $1 million. But here's the best part: I'm going to share 50% of the wealth with every single trader, ensuring the final trader gets $100,000 and every other trader gets 10% more than the previous trader, totaling $500,000!

OK, so this is how it's going to work. The offering period for each domain will last either 1 week or until I receive 11 offers to give everyone a chance to submit their offers. But here's the twist: YOU are going to decide which offer I accept. See, at the end of the 1-week offering period, I will be putting every single offer up for a 24-hour vote on the NamePros.com domain forum. The winner will trade their domain with mine and then I will rinse and repeat the whole process with my new domain. Sound simple enough? Cool, anyone can offer any domain they own, no matter how ugly, but you're limited to 1 offer per round, so always choose your best one. I will continue to do this until someone is willing to buy my current domain on offer for $1 million. Who the heck knows what domain that will be, but that's what makes this fun.

Ready to start? The 17th offer on the table is:

MotorizedHome.com

Offers for this domain are no longer accepted. Voting has also ended.

AboutFarms.com Wins!

First offer is in, still room for 10 more!

I've received the first offer in this Round 23 and it's a gambling .com:
  • Gamble4.com

If we were to believe Estibot, it's worth $310, which is a lot juicier than the $90 going rate for LLL.us's, so it looks like it could be a trade-up and we're off to a juicy start.

But there's room for 10 more offers with 6 days to go, so warm those puppies up and send them my way!

Cheers,
Andres

You need to branch outside of namespro to keep this thing going, Andres.

One forum of domain traders focusing on an idea will get nowhere. Especially when interest is waning, most likely from over-exposure.

As for gamble4.com, at least it's a trade up! :P

Cheers

If Andres would be willing to put up one more ad space, like the wrestling ad, I would be willing to come back with a couple of nice .coms fo be voted on.

Just an offer.....
