Earlier today, Francois of Domaining.com sent out an email blast that contained a long list of domains.
What’s so special about that? They were all priced at $1,000 by their owners.
Within 30 seconds after the email was sent out, someone replied with “Sold” for the top domain on that list, Histogram.com
Other domains were sold as well but there seems to be a problem:
When the seller of Histogram.com realized that his domain is worth much more, refused to sell it to the buyer, all according to Francois.
That’s not good and we would not want to do business with a seller who does not honor their business word!
Francois said the same thing about MPH.COM
At some point he becomes culpable for his shenanigans.
He thinks he is an outlaw.
I paid him for services for a lifetime, and he unilaterally canceled out and kept my money, because I criticized his methods.
How can you sell Histograms.com for $1000 without being suspicious? He would have bought it himself.
Uzoma – I think you’re being invariably biased. Never had any problems with Francois or CAX.com. The domainer who refused to sell Histogram.com is responsible for not honoring their word. In fact, I would go as far as to say that such deal-breakers don’t belong in the domain industry.
What is a histogram?
Alan – Google it?
I wonder if the “buyer” would have any legal recourse?
Alan – I’m not a lawyer but I believe so.
I thought it was too good to be true…
I send ‘Buy’ to other domain, but Francois has ignored my mail message.
Not to get off topic here or anything but we’ve had the same same problem with BuyDomains.com just last week. We bought a domain that was listed for sale as BUY NOW. We BOUGHT the domain but the sale was cancelled within 48 hours. The owner sent us an email saying the domain was not for sale afterall. Due to currency variations we even lost money on this one.
The worst of it all, we still haven’t heard a word from buydomains, no apology, no explanation, nothing. Today we couldn’t care less about their explanation. We’re going in the hard way as they clearly broke legal terms and a contract agreement.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a company or a person has a change of heart. As long as something is listed for sale and somebody else decides to buy it, a binding agreement has been made. Period!
Amaro, don’t forget the time difference in France, You posted at 3:30 pm EST, in France the time
would be 9:30 pm, which means the office probably went home for the day.
This happens on Namejet and Sedo as well. Sellers list their names for sale and they don’t end up transfecting the name to the buyer. Name the seller and shame them.
I cannot say the buyer is a bad guy nor a scammer, simply someone who lost control… This attitude is not acceptable in our industry where a speech should be a speech even if you may lost money.
His account has been closed.
@Amaro
I double checked I did not receive any see email from an Amaro.
Please send a mail at http://cax.com/contact/ asap.
This morning the seller contacted me to say that in fact he just noticed he listed by error a domain he did not own. He owns the typo: Histrogram.com
So he also lost the face in addition of his account.
Thanks for the clarification, Francois 🙂
Francois bought Vilaine.com from me.
It was a quick flip!
