We also acquired a single word domain bitch.net - we thought it would be a good brand for edgy fashion or perhaps a counter culture feminist site, but the only people interested have been in the adult industry. What would you think the value could be?

Re: How we got the Hall.com domain
#62That's an unbelievable price for a four-character domain.

And that's for a product, that has a transaction fee based mod…

#65From someone who also works with and helps entrepreneurs to acquire domains, I think you got a great score here Brett and your persistence has to be noted. I'm sure it didn't take 1 email
Only one question I'm curious what your "non-low-ball" initial offer was if you got it for such a reasonable price.

Before we even had the idea for "HALL" we tried medium.com, foundation.com etc... to explore the possibility. We were never really excited about these names. We started the conversation off by offering $5k. That didn't work out well. The owner essentially blocked us after emailing back w no thanks.
We even considered the idea of leasing a domain which is doable.
