Huge congratulations and MASSIVE THANK YOU to Andrew Allemann for reaching podcast episode # 600 of @DomainNameWire.
One of the best and most reliable sources of information in the Domain industry.
Thanks for making us all better at what we do Andrew! :)
Just sitting here on a cloudy day reverse engineering the auctions, watching you all help @HugedomainLLC get even richer than they already are!
It's 365 days a year of X-Mas for the Reberry brothers! lol
Sometimes the domain industry totally sucks. Back-to-back days with issues .. Yesterday at @Spaceship leading to double renewal of 100 domains (extra $1000 that "can't be cancelled" even if reported minutes later), and now @GoDaddy back to same old Access Denied. :(
Hey .. where have I heard that voice before? lol

Sell-through rate is meaningless without considering average multiples. In domain investing, profit is the metric that matters most. Valuations shift based on a buyer's business plan and available capital.
Featuring: @TheDomainSocial
WARNING (to fellow lazy domainers .. lol)
If you didn't change nameservers of domains that were previously at Epik (because they were on previously obsolete non-resolving nameservers like ns3/ns4), about 20% now point to AI generated websites with misleading contact info.
Fun session a couple days ago for those missing your dose of Domain X Spaces this week with Todd @abcproductions, Josh @domainpro and @ishmilly taking a week off this week.

You know you're a serious domainer when ...
You get you mom to help troubleshoot @GoDaddy bugs/issues! lol
With the truly countless hours I've spend reporting and detailing GoDaddy bugs and issues over the years, I'm a little hurt I've never gotten any GD socks. But I draw the line here .. @jamesiles, you guys owe my mom some socks! lol
To anyone transferring domains out of GoDaddy.
When you get the "considered high-value and require identity verification before disabling Lock", or other reason needing verification to UNLOCK .. Do you actually get the verification text?
(Not usual account text verification)
Happy Valentines everyone .. Cherish every moment of it if you have a favorite 2 or 4 legged companion to snuggle up on the couch with! :)
My first Feb 14th without my lovable little valentine. Feels like the Universe doesn't want me to go for walks without you, with the coldest winter in forever, and my fractured ankle since the holidays. Just chillin on the couch still feels weird without you cuddled up next to me. Miss you oodles and poodles little buddy!

Join us tomorrow (Thursday) for the DNX show as I'll be hosting domain discussions as Todd (@abcproductions) & Josh (@domainpro) will be at the ICA meetup in Vegas (and should be joining live).

Big thanks to @Flippa for a great night, great leftovers (for SteamieTheHotDog.com) and new lucky socks (aka @MichaelCyger fashion).
@fmichlick
Random Domain World Fact:
- Did you know that @MichaelCyger owned and hosted @DomainSherpa for 404 episodes before selling it to @andrewrosener of @MediaOptions.
- It was then hosted by the wonderful @tessdiazaz before being handed over to the eloquently expressive @J10enbaum (aka AKA) and produced by @KingWillChalton)!
- Huge thanks to all the Sherpas for all the domain (and blatantly off-topic) knowledge shared over the years! :)
@BradenPollock @AmmarKubba @cultra @Frank_Schilling @domainpro @zuiker_chris @JenSale @adamstrong @joedomains and countless other less frequent Sherpas who have generously donated their time over the years! :)
I just can't help myself from posting all the sock related domains. I'm blaming @GoDaddy and @MichaelCyger for my newly discovered foot fetish! lol :)
Looks like GoDaddy-AI needs to go back to school! lol
This is why everyone needs to avoid drinking and domaining ... This one is going to hurt!
The gloriously frustrating never-ending type of bugirony that can only happen at @GoDaddy ... when they send you an email reminding you to pay for an auction win .. while they have a bug that doesn't allow you to actually put auction wins into your cart!
The 42 step work around if anyone needs it:

PS .. Bugirony*com is available for handreg .. *IF* you can actually get it into your cart! lol
@godaddyauctions @GoDaddyHelp @jamesiles @synozeer @abmakrani
Sigh .. yeah .. try each of the following in order:
#1- Go to your Auction "Buying List" and then click the "Buy Now" for the domain in the "Action" column.
#2- Click the checkmark next to the name and then try to click the "Buy Now" button on the right side of the bottom (hidden under the "Contact Us" button because GD have no serious Beta testers for some reason).
If #1 & #2 don't work then ...
#3 & #4: Repeat #1 & #2 but in Incognito mode.
If #3 & #4 don't work then ...
#5 & #6: Repeat #3 & #4 but on your cell after turning your WIFI off. This is also where you might want to try other devices.
If #5 & #6 don't work then ...
#7 & #8: Clear your cookies on your PC and repeat #5 & #6.
If #7 & #8 don't work then ...
#9 & #10: Repeat #7 & #8 in a different browser.
If #9 & #10 don't work then ...
#11 to #20: Wait 15 minutes and redo #1 to #10.
If #11 to #20 don't work then ...
#21 to #40: Wait 45 minutes (so there's at least 1 hour since your issue first started), then turn all your appliances off & on again and redo #1 to #20.
#41: Buy some lucky socks from @MichaelCyger, put them on and rub your feet together so hard until the static lifts your hair up. Then flatten your hair by smashing your head through a wall while praying to the domain gods! Then turn both @GoDaddy AND @godaddyauctions off & on themselves again and retry everything!
#42: Call your rep if you have one and ask him or her to put the domain in your cart (be sure to stay on the phone and ask them to process your cart if you can't after the domain has been added). Call regular tech support if you don't have a rep.
Or you could just start with #42! lol
#43: You thought it was over? lol .. Also be sure to take screenshots of everything and log HAR files for everything and send them to your rep and James Iles! lol
