RE: Domain name BookkeepingAgency.com is FOR SALE.


Why was the domain so successful that you're selling? Although a domain is a licence of sorts, correct - so you can't really buy? Nor sell, but transfer.

Good luck with getting $12.5k for it, I can't really anyone paying even a tenth of that

Here's a link to what the page looked like in 2015, and there has been no further development since then  https://web.archive.org/web/20111121140549/http://www.bookkeepingagency.com:80/

So sorry Michael, I'm out.

Wow! Seriously? I doubt I'd pay 12.5k for KPMG - especially if they were selling. Surely using the domain of another is about as risky as taking over a VAT number. Reputation is everything.

 It depends on the popularity of the site in question.  eg I was a big fan of Firefox, and would install it on any computer I was cleaning up or re-installing.  However the firefox . com domain didn't belong to them, as it was used by a different company in America.  It would appear that at some point Firefox have bought the domain, and probably cost them a considerable amount of money.

I'll give you 50 British pence for it.

Oh, go on then. 50 British pence and a packet of cheese and onion crisps - but you'll have to pay the shipping fees for the crisps.

Note: The 'best before' date on the crisps is 23rd September, so I'd suggest this offer is time limited until a couple of weeks before that.

But the 50p is still on the table surely!.... Actually, crisps cost around 50p don't they and one packet is never enough so I see where you are coming from on stepping out of the negotiations (and down the shop with 50p gripped firmly in hand).

I don't think that we will hear from the original poster again... Actually, better just pop into their posts and remove the links as well.

Can you alter the thread name as well so he gets no purchase from it whatsoever?

Ive edited mine to remove the link in my quote as well.

50p a pack - lordy! Buy a multipack when you have saved up in the old piggybank!

Happy?

I can change the main title but not the title in each of the replies.

Always!! 

I can only see a couple of replies with a title in and now the only 'offending' one is above Johnny boys post and he hasnt been around for a while (come back Johnny!!!). Loving the choice of words, actually made me laugh out loud!

Thank you Mr Modman

"But the 50p is still on the table surely"

Well, I simply assumed that someone would come along with a better offer than just 50p - they didn't have to go as far as that and a packet of crisps now that I've eaten them; perhaps 50p and a tea bag, or something.

Joanne:

"50p a pack - lordy!"

Depends on the crisps, of course - some are cheaper than that, and some are much pricier!

"Buy a multipack when you have saved up in the old piggybank!"

I do tend to buy multipacks - or even (as in this case) boxes. This particular packet was a mere 25g packet, from a box of 48. I can't remember what I paid, but it probably worked out at no more than 20p/packet. 25g is just the right size for my favourite childish snack - a crisp sandwich.
