Domain Sales

For the time being, I no longer allow offers for my domain names listed for sale at Dan.com. This doesn’t always stop people from making offers to me since it’s easy to see that I am the registrant.

Andrew Rosener wouldn’t comment about the sale price of Lettuce.com. He connected me to Andrew Miller, who shared the following with me:
