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!

2 more offers in, a .com and a .net...and one of them smells funny!

Two more offers have come in and one of them smells funny (can you guess which one?)! Here they are:
  • ClaimADay.com (great .com for a claims site...as in those pesky prize giveaways that are obviously making someone money)
  • iShit.net (I'm sure this one could be branded well with a funny site, c'mon!)

We've got only 2 days and 15 hours to go in this offering period, so make sure you get your offer in quick!

Cheers,
Andres
