I wanted to remind those of you in the New York area that we will be getting together for an informal dinner on Tuesday, February 26th at 7pm. There are 18 people who have confirmed so far, and a couple more have verbally confirmed to me but haven’t responded to the Evite I sent out.
If you are interested in attending the dinner, please drop me a note and I will send you the Evite. This promises to be a fun networking event for people involved in the domain industry. I am looking forward to seeing and meeting you in a few days!

If you are like me, you wish you could have been at the TRAFFIC conference in Vegas, but due to other circumstances (final stages of development for me), you couldn’t make it to Vegas. Michael Gilmour was kind enough to make his TRAFFIC presentations available for those of us who couldn’t attend the conference. If you have a chance today, I recommend downloading his presentations from his blog. Michael is a numbers guy and really knows the business well.

I found a few names in tomorrow’s live TRAFFIC auction that I like, but apparently I won’t be able to bid on them online since I have a Mac Book with a Leopard OS. According to the Snapnames website’s online bidding requirements:

Microsoft Windows operating system
Audio output
Internet Explorer 6.0 (or newer) or Firefox 2.0 (or newer)“

Kind of a bummer, but no big deal I suppose.   Guess I should have thought about this earlier!

Lease to Own a Domain Name

I was giving advice to someone today about buying a domain name that is currently generating significant parking revenue. The owner is using a min-site with Adsense to generate this revenue (we’ll say $5,000 annually for the sake of this post), and the potential buyer thinks he could earn much more if he develops it further. The owner’s asking price is steeper than the buyer is willing to spend (let’s say $100,000), but I think the   buyer can get creative with his offer in an effort to strike a deal.
In a situation like this, I think a lease-to-own offer would be
