Was this a “Purchase” or a “Partnership”? It came across reading the blog post by Rob that it was a partnership, which is different then a purchase. As stated in the posting “Dan and I are both enthusiastic about this partnership”.

True that finding the gems is that much harder but still can find some good names regularly if you use the right tools/sites. We have had success doing for outselves and custoemrs for over 2 years now. Congrats to Dan on the partnership, he is a great grabber of quality domains as they drop (not auctioned) Cheers.

@Adam,
Rob had placed a comment on another site confirming it was a Purchase. He said it started out as a partnership but it made sense to do it as a purchase later. It was a cash, equity sale but terms were not disclosed.

Regarding domains that have been picked up after expiry, beauty is obviously in the eye of the beholder. Let us know forget that some gems need a little more polish to shine. :) I am not claming that you will find a 6 or 5 figure sale but those in the hundreds and even low thousands are there. A few we have picked up recently include: LazySlob.com, TransferSongs.com, BlondBeer.com and SecurityDevelopers.com. Not huge potential $ but decent. This is just a few of our regs, and our customers have regged hundreds off our lists in just the past few weeks. Each person’s tasted and opinions are different so you have to judge for yourself. Thanks for taking the time to respond Adam and as always, happy hunting.
