Rick Schwartz completes acquisition of MarioMonti.com

Posted by DomainGang on November 16, 2011, at 3:19 pm

Rick Schwartz now owns MarioMonti.com

The name of the new, interim prime minister of Italy, Mario Monti was registered in dot com years ago.

According to DomainTools, MarioMonti.com was registered in 2005 and has been a part of the BuyDomains portfolio ever since.

When Silvio Berlusconi stepped down and Mario Monti took over, the domain was still listed for sale on BuyDomains with a buy now price of $588.

As of today, the new owner is Rick Schwartz, who acknowledged jumping on the opportunity to buy the domain in a comment here on DomainGang.

It’s not yet clear what will Rick do with the domain name MarioMonti.com but it’s a definite act of borderline speculation on a public figure’s name.

What should Rick do with MarioMonti.com?

Call the Italian Prime Minister and donate it

Milk the traffic until Mario Monti steps down

Point it to his blog as an example of domain investing

Let’s hope he will remain in office longer than Lucas Papademos. Rick isn’t exactly fast at developing his online properties

Lucius,

They may not be #1 top-notch, but they are far far from pigeon shit!

It would be good to understand why the Domain King insists on wallowing around in this kind of slop.
