    Bahhh…. I am just waiting for the .CO domains that where held back from registration to sell. From all the reports I read, they will be sold throughout the year.
    Unlike older extensions that took up to 8 years to sell the *Cream* of the crop (.info and .biz) or the several years it took for .TV to sell their top choice extensions that where held back.
    I guess .CO will be different and keep the excitement about the domain going for the first year then let it go where it will.

    Good first sale. Thought maybe was somewhat low given the keyword. Nonetheless, an ok sale. Haven’t been to his facebook site…is he still asking $200000 for health.co?

    I’d like to know how Mike Mann ended up with those top domains which were registered before anyone else could register domains? Same old sh1t, if you got money you get choice of the domains and everyone else is left out. It would be nice to see everyone on a level playing field for a change.

    I talk with clients daily in my line of work and inevitably web site names and email is exchanged. It is imperative that this is past on correctly. Based on all these conversations and how many of us make mistakes taking down this information I think the .co will make this process even more cumbersome.

    It’s great to see a sale like this but I find it interesting that other memorable TLDs are past on by the domain industry. End users will gravitate to other tlds and as they do more and more sites will get built out and many of us will look back and see that this was clear as day at the time. This will lead to a broader acceptance of all TLDs and when information is exchanged consumers will verify the extension and put it to memory much like a friend or business with a different area code.

    Jones,

    In all likelihood he was grandfathered these domains by owning .com.co version or he bought the .com.co version from someone else. Not really corruption.

    this is why we need a recent interview with mike mann. about his recent purchases and sales of .co. we also need to know why mike priced his poor african countries at 1,000.000 each.also when mike sold his first batch of domains for 80 million how did he go about reinvesting for his current portfolio..

    “Yes, still would like to know he got these names before everyone else, friggin corruption.”

    Not corruption, just smart and one step ahead πŸ™‚

    “In all likelihood he was grandfathered these domains by owning .com.co version or he bought the .com.co version from someone else. Not really corruption.”

    Very likely, he owns all the same ones in .com.co – the “conspiracy” is solved LOL
