I registered
Insanity.com in 1992, and since that
time I have gotten well over a thousand inquiries from people who would like
to buy it from me. When I registered
Insanity.com no one had even thought of the possibility of buying or
selling domain names for profit, and that wasn't why I registered the
domain. I registered it because it was cool, and it has served me well over
the years. People might forget my phone number or loose my address, some
even forget my name, but they always remember
Insanity.com.
Now everyone wants a cool domain name, so it's not surprising that I've
fielded over a thousand inquiries as to whether I'm willing to sell it. I have sold a
two domain names I no longer needed -- including DCB.com, a very valuable
three-letter domain name I no longer needed after Direct Connect Books went
offline -- but I've kept
Insanity.com. Over the years this
domain has become almost synonymous with my name and the creative and
technical services I offer.
Bottom line? I'm not really interested in selling Insanity.com. I mean,
sure, if someone offered me a good money I'd be tempted, but keep in mind
that I started working, writing about, and investing in the high-tech sector
since the early eighties. I'm not easily tempted to sell.
So, generally speaking, Insanity.com
is not for sale. If you're really interested in buying it anyway, please
make sure you tell me what dollar figure you're considering, because I
pretty uniformly ignore emails that don't include a dollar figure. Please
also consider the many people who have already offered me good money, and
been turned down.
