I inquired about a website(www.forsaken.com) a couple weeks ago, but the reps never got back with me. So I sent them another email and finally they got in touch with me. And this is what they said...


Dear Jay,

Our most recent negotiation of this name was in the range of $18,000.
If you are interested in pursuing this name, you are welcome to make an
offer.

$18, 000 for a website??? How would it cost so much? Everyone seems to have a website, and I'm not talking about those free geocities sites. I know for sure they're not paying $18k. Wtf gives?

The web site must already be registered and owned by someone, and they are selling their website. It is a major business, selling your website. You can make some heavy loot off of it if you have a good name.

Hello Jay,

FORSAKEN.COM is for sale

We own this name for the traffic income, but are willing to sell it
for $8,500. This is a valuable name and should be considered an

If you are interested, we will send you a simple legal procedure to
follow to acquire FORSAKEN.COM.
