Rick Schwartz wrote a thunderous blog post today, ruffling many a pigeondomain holder’s feathers.
Quite explosive but very focused, Rick’s revelation of the secret power of his “take no prisoners” attitude spawned a multitude of response comments, none of which seemed to disagree.
Over the years, Rick Schwartz has had some amazing domain sales, including those of Men.com, iReport.com, Candy.com and PunchBowl.com
Unlike other domainers that apparently struggle like car salesmen to get a commission from several hundred sales, Rick’s approach is to sell the Ferraris and Bentleys of the domain world directly to emirs and kings, earning a much-deserved fat check in the process.
Rick’s blog wasn’t always digital.
Rick’s blog wasn’t always digital – like any other organized individual, keeping track of things on a diary or notebook seems to be the best way to remember what happened, when, and most importantly how many times did he say “No” to an offer.

Congrats to Rick but I feel that interesting approach may only work well for Rick and requires amazingly good names too of course.
Fact is, RS has good names and if you owned names like that, anyone can say no, because eventually it will be a yes. So RS post should not even be a newsflash for people that understand buy a corvette or settle for a vw. There are only so many category killer domains, period. Its easy for a King to sit on a pot of gold than it is for a servent that needs to make a living.Case closed
Well the humor is fantastic! So, is Part Deux about the hot shot developer who cashed in his chips after signing up the 500,000,000th user on his social porn site? ;-D
“Fact is, RS has good names and if you owned names like that, anyone can say no…”
Doc,
Saying no to a sales offer really has nothing to do with the quality of domain names.
It has all to do with being in a strong financial position that you just don’t need to sell.
Now that I’ve taken this time machine I am going to buy social.com for a million and sell it for 2.6 million in the future. Thanks DG
