Title: PlayMusic.com (since 1995) for sale. Auction starting at 50 BTC.
Post by: tributetosn on April 10, 2015, 03:10:07 AM
In 2013 we sold 4K.com (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=316381.0) in this forum and was one of the top Bitcoin-only transactions for a premium domain name. Now we are auctioning PlayMusic.com, a domain with strong metrics in Google Trends and other keyword research tools. The domain has been registered since 1995, at the early beginnings of the Internet.

Details:

  • Buy-it-now price: 1200 BTC. This would close the auction immediately after receiving the offer.
  • Starting bid is 50 BTC.
  • Please post your bid in this thread or send me an email to the whois email address. I would prefer to not communicate by PM, only this thread or emails.
  • Escrow is mandatory.

Closing date: Apr 25th 2015 at 10:00 AM PST.

As with the 4K.com auction we noticed that the majority of the bids came in during the last minutes of the auction, we will extend by 5 minutes the ending time whenever we receive a bid during the last two minutes of the auction.

If you want to verify my identity you can send an email to the contact address listed on the whois service (http://who.is/whois/playmusic.com).

Auction starts now in this thread, thanks.

Best regards,

Gabriel

EDIT ON APR 15TH
- The closing hour has been change to the morning of Apr 25th at 10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time.
- We will extend by 5 minutes the ending time whenever we receive a bid during the last two minutes of the auction.

I have to say that this is probably one of the nicest domains I've seen listed here in the recent months. Good luck with the sale, honestly can't say how much this is worth as it could easily be worth hundreds of BTC to the right people.

I'll give you a buck fifty.  ;D

But in all seriousness, have you tried approaching a music firm that would be interested? Google might want to buy PlayMusic.com... since they have Google Play Music and all, and they might be willing to pay more than the users in the forums

Can you prove ownership?

Maybe have it redirect to this thread?

Yes, please, to verify ownership you can email to the address shown in the whois (hollocom@gmail.com). I have also changed the DNS to redirect to this thread, but it might take 24 hours to propogate... Anyhow, if you email me I will respond. We are the same company that sold 4K.com in this forum in 2013 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=316381.0). Thanks!

Start with a lower minimum bid and you likely will get action.

The domain is worth the minimum bid. The seller should contact google / spotify / grooveshark and other music providers to see if they would be interested in it, the chances are pretty slim someone on this forum is interested in starting a music streaming business.

This is honestly one of the highest quality domains on this forum, but this place is not the place to sell it. You should seriously go to some firms or Flippa/Sedo and give it a go there.

The thing with all these companies is the fact that none of them would buy the domain in Bitcoins... :)

Doubt they would, but you can always transfer USD to BTC if you like. Just because they don't buy in BTC doesn't mean you can't get it.
