TheNextWeb.com just published a story today on domain industry veteran Ron Sheridan who just put up the domain name RSS.com for sale for $200,000
Ron purchased the domain name RSS.com for $137,500 in October 2009 ($125K + commission)
Ron had been working on a development project for RSS.com a couple of years ago but now with the news that Google is shutting down their popular Reader service.
We wish Ron the best of luck with the sale.
The domain is being brokered by WebsiteBrokerage.com.
Best of luck, Ron.
I thought RSS is his name…Ron S Sheridan
oh well!
Bull
Your a funny guy
FG.com got to $175K yesterday at NJ and did not clear the reserve so $200K would need to be a destination buyer vs. a speculator – yes ?
Great name, good luck.
So, let me get this straight:
1. Ron paid $137,500 for the domain as an END USER to capitalize on Google’s “Reader”
2. Google shuts-down “Reader”
3. Ron expects to make a 45% PROFIT for a domain that has just experienced a sudden and severe drop in utilization value
4. Dream on, Ron…this is yet another example of why most folks have little respect for domainers.
Google shutting down their reader may actually make this domain more valuable, not less. Read what the inventor of RSS has to say, make a lot of sense….
