Rob, since I have the bid going at your auction some guy contacted me and offered 7 Ferrari domains for sale also for $ 10,000. They were mostly .net, .us .info endings. As far as I am concerned those have no real value. .com is the way to go. As far as the fiber 308GTB, well it would go great with your www.Ferrari308GTB.com I must agree "Please step into my office for the financing terms, sir" |

Where did you get Ro Blay from? Check this out, FerrariF50.us is going for $10,000 and there's already 5 bidders. What the heck? Something fishy there. Even FerrariF50.com is no big deal, what would Ferrarif50.us get $10,000. Anything but dot.com just sucks. Even many schools and organizations just use dot.com these days. |

Nice list, I just picked up *profanityremoved*ferrari.com. Suprised it was available...it's a Lamborghini owners dream. Anyways, I don't know what you're paying through tucows, but I work at an Icann Accredited domain registrar..(http://www.itsyourdomain.com) and I'm sure I can give you much better pricing if you or anyone is interested. |

I haven't got on a domain buying binge in awhile and I couldn't believe what I could still find, tonight I picked up... FerrariRacer.com Ferrari308gtb.com FerrariData.com For FerrariRacer.com I want to profile all the cars and drivers of those racing Ferraris around the world. Maybe some day add historical info. One of these days I'll own a 308 GTB for a racer/track car. Ferrari data, hmm, I think the name is self explanatory. I was just searching through all my domains, so let me brag about them a second. The domain fees don't seem as bad now that I've seen what these are selling for... chicksdigitracing.com curvacom.com cyclinglog.com fcadfw.com ferrari101.com ferrari250boano.com ferrari250lusso.com ferrari250pf.com ferrari275gtb.com ferrari330gtc.com ferrariads.com ferrariauctions.com ferraricommunity.com ferrarifaq.com ferrariforums.com roadtracks.com roblay.com thelayfamily.com tifosichat.com triathletelog.com virtit.com virtz.com yourlog.com

YOu might be okay since it's the 'everything else' instead of under 'ferrari', but who knows. here's the nastygram i got. BTW, bidding on my name was up to like 4k$.

Kevin, this is the first thing I've tried to sell, I couldn't find anything related to an internet category, so I did ebay motors and other. That other one is in there right now with me, we'll see. Martin, ya know, that 308 GTB ya have is looking mighty fine. I think it would look better with a roll cage and FerrariChat.com decals all over it. |

the ferrarienzo.net site is listed in the wrong category. You are *not* allowed to place domains/sites into ebay motors, they must go into the .net or .com domain names or "websites" categories. Wheni originally put my domains in ebaymotors, they got a bunch of bids and it went real high, but then ebay came along and cancelled it with a slap on the wrist. |

Well congratulations on your bid Rob. I started seeing all of the domain names on ebay for sale also, and getting good money for them. I don't understand it myself but when you see a trend you have to jump on and ride it. When the Bugatti Veyron comes out next year it will agruably be the fastest and most lusted after car since the Mclearn F1. That is way I own BugattiVeyron.com, BugattiVeyron.net, and BugattiVeyron.us just for an investment. |

I would challenge them to do so. That would be an interesting fight. Especially that I would sell them to them at the right price. Howie, I need a Ferrari vacation myself. Going to Vegas next week. 10th wedding anniversary. |

How about CavallinoMotorsports.com? I'd give it up for the right $$. There's nothing there now. My concern about any Fcar related name is the fear that Ferrari NA will soon come crashing down on those domains that are using the name. Good luck on your auction |

I love it, only about 25 pages in, but everything is supposed to be text Enzo himself wrote when looking through old pictures. His stories are great and really is intense with lesser known history and show Enzo as an intellect with a very caring heart for family, friends, and his racers. Also good because it's both in Italian and English, so you can work on your Italian. |

I saw the crazy prices they were asking for FerrariEnzo.net, so I thought it would be fun what they would bid on FerrariAds.com. I would think that domain would be one of the most desirable Ferrari domains and I have received a few offers over the years. I've never sold anything on ebay before, so it's more of just an experience than anything. However, as my economics professor answered in her school interview when asked her reaction if a student tried to buy a grade... "there's a price for everything." It would have to be a really good price though, because I have some great plans for FerrariAds.com once I take care of the server move and a few other things on the list. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1872970223&ssPageName=ADME:B:LC:MT:1
