Mike Mann Sells FatChance.com For $40K & Microsoft Says Sony Domains Are Just Defensive Registrations “Lets Move On”

July 16, 2011 by Michael Berkens

According to his posting on Facebook Mike Mann has just sold a nice call to action domain name FatChance.com for $40K.

I think its a good price for the domain which I could see selling in that 25K-$50K price range.

These call to action domains or famous  sayings or phrases are always in demand.

We own a ton of them as well and they provide a source of constant sales interest.

Congrats to Mike on another nice sale

There were quite a few stories in and out of the domain world yesterday about some domain registrations by Microsoft which contained Microsoft and Sony in them including, Sony-Microsoft.com, Microsoft-Sony.com.

According to a tweet by Microsoft representative Frank X. Shaw these domain names were simply defensive registrations:

“sony/ms domain names: Sony = great MS partner. No scoop here, this was just a defensive domain hold. Let’s move on to weekend)”

    None of you have SorryLoser.com. I own it, and – believe me – I own it.

    But I like Fat Chance! That’s a great domain. What are some other great expressions?

    BrianWick—everybody in the world knows who is the Creative CEO of “BullS” and they are dying to get my “BullS’ domain name BUT do I know you?

    I hate hate people who hides behind the skirts!!!

    *** People are not going to spend money anymore on those stupid eCommerce sites because people are aging and they don’t need stuffs. The next set of domains are Home Care domains where there is a great need for aging population.***
