“Dot-com is king,” Goldberger said. “Dot-net is worthless.”
But there’s a big divide between thinking of a good name and getting it. There’s usually a chase, with Fischer trying to persuade owners to sell the names after he locates the owners unless its up for auctions.
“He’s kind of like a rhinoceros,” Goldberger says about Fischer. “He chases them up a tree and waits them out. He has patience and determination. You got to be aggressive. It’s a tough game now. It’s like the gold rush. The first guys did really well then it became more difficult.”
And expensive. Five years ago, the duo could get a good name for $10,000. Now the minimum is more like $100,000 _ as the auction proved. The cheapest name they bought at the auction was blogging.com for $135,000.
At the moment, Fischer, Goldberger and Eli have declined to sell individual names. They’ve recently turned down million-dollar offers for stocks.com and home.com.
