My Dot Com
Years ago curtisjones.com was for sale for three thousand dollars. Not three thousand dollars of fun. A year or two later, on a whim, I offered a thousand and fully expected to haggle. Ten minutes after they accepted, I was sending the money.
Years ago I looked at curtisjones.com and saw that it was for sale. That might be fun to own. According to the Wayback Machine, it had been used for precisely nothing its entire existence, which was a little sad, and a lot fortuitous.
The domain reseller follows up with an email and we talk on the phone. THREE THOUSAND DOLLAR. Fun, yes, but not three thousand dollars of fun. I more-or-less apologize for wasting his time and move on.
A year or two passes....
