Afternoon Folks!
Folks are DROWNING in Pigeon Shit. They can't pay the renewals, nobody wants them,
wtf would you call it?? I am NOT riduculing anyone that has their
domains and does not sit there and complain. My POINT is that if you
have something that has proved worthless and nobody wants and you have no ideas for, it is OKAY to just let that
baby go and focus on a bird that flies a little better. If folks take
what I say personally without me namining a single domain name or single
domainer's name then I guess they have indicted themsleves. If the shoe fits,
they bought the damn store!
That's amusing and sad at the same time. That is why most post anonymously.
Folks
call me out without even putting their name on the post?? Then everyone
would know the name to attach to the failure. But....a bit balless to
me. I have signed my name on every post since 1996. I own my words. All those throwing shit need to put their real names out there so we
all know clearly who you are. Collectively you are losers by that
definition alone.
If folks take what I say personally without me namining a single
domain name or single domainer than I guess they have indicted
themsleves. If the shoe fits, they bought the damn store!
So if you comment without your real name you are a loser by my
personal definition until you own what you say. If that hurts folks, GREAT! Be real and I may treat you real. But imaginary friends went out with the tooth fairy. Just Ghosts to me. I love to pee all over ghosts. Friend or foe. We never know. Until we do. And then the job is to never forget.
There
is a regular version and the General Audience version. Help yourself. I
have no idea what you would do with it, but maybe we can exchange links
and I will make a special Blog Roll for folks that know the difference
between investment quality domains and domains that mean nothing, say
nothing, have no idea behind it, no traffic within it, no idea how to
make money with it and nobody wants to buy.....What I refer to as PIGEON
SHIT......PIGEON SHIT with an extension!
Enjoy!
Have a GREAT Day!

A special thanks to Danny Pryor for creating this”Masterpiece” :-)

Rick,
You should start a column and people can submit their”prized” domains and you can rank it as pigeon shit with some commentary. ;-) If they are able to sell that particular domain within 60 days above a certain price threshold you have to post publicly on your blog the sale ;-).

Whether or not you agree with Rick, you have to admit…
That’s a heck of a job on that logo.
Well done :D

Haha – this is awesome Rick!

Rick, why not post your entire domain list and prove you don’t own any shit domains?
JMO
The truth is Rick youve proven the value isnt so much in the name as it is in the pitch. Let’s be honest you had/have a small number of incredible names, the rest you may want to slap that logo on… no offense just making a point, pigeon shit sales, the proof is in the punchbowl.
Rick Schwartz
“The truth is Rick youve proven the value isnt so much in the name as it is in the pitch.”
Completely and 100% wrong. If it were the”Pitch” I would have to actively be trying to sell those domains. NONE of the sales were done like that. none. Not one sale have I approrached a buyer. My only”Pitch” was saying”No” many many many times and then many times after that. I NEVER said a word about the domain itself. Never pitched the attributes. They already figured that part out by the time they contact me and start making offers. The domains have value based on need and use and the potential the buyer sees and a few ther factors I don’t really need to disclose but savvy folks know. The price they pay comes down to MY circumstance and what I could do with those $$$ RIGHT NOW to parlay them. My job is to make sure I invest my TIME with whales not minnows. That is the big disconnect. Most don’t know the difference and don’t know how to find out so they spin their wheels with fakers.
The only thing I”Pitch” as far as domains is general value. That a business can’t live without one and it is likely the most important decision they will make. The domain IS the lifeline of businesses today. That type in traffic is still the most potent traffic there is.
jmo
Let me clarify a bit, pitch not in the context of approaching end users but rather once contacted. Your justifications or” pitch” for the asking price is imo a key factor.
The truth is your names are no better than most, I mean punchbowl, really Rick, punchbowl, why not leomandestand or juicemachine. It isnt that a majority of your names are great its that youve managaed to” pitch” the end user so well when contacted.
Some may even at this point call you more lucky then good.
JMO
What I am really getting at Rick is this…
I am actually giving you credit for being a great salesman, you may say they approach you but there is more to it than that as you know.
My issue is calling other peoples stuff pigeon shit to the point of hurting feelings and posting logos. I always thought a KING looked to improve and build up his subjects, not tear a majority of them down. You do as much to promote yourself and domaining in a good light and as much to tarnish yourself.
The truth is you are a good seller and lucky as well, we all need a bit of both. If my pigeon shit sits while you get lucky from time to time it is no excuse to ridicule me. You may argue you dont own pigeon shit, well thats just bull shit and if youre honest with us all you cannot hide behind a dozen great names forever. Post up your entire portfolio and disprove me. And imo Rick owning so-so names in the $5k-$20K range doesnt count as anything special or give anyone the right to laugh at others… kettle, meet pot. Pot just happens to have bought a handful 15 years before you and now feels his” sins” of regging pigeon shit are washed clean.
Rick Schwartz
You don’t understand the folks DROWNING in Pigeon Shit. They can’t pay the renewals, nobody wants them, wtf would you call it?? I am NOT riduculing anyone that has their domains and does not sit there and complain. My POINT is that if you have something that has proved worthless, it is OKAY to just let that baby go and focus on a bird that flies a little better. If folks take what I say personally without me namining a single domain name or single domainer than I guess they have indicted themsleves. If the shoe fits, they bought the damn store!
That’s amusing and sad at the same time. That is why most post anonymouly.
But for the deaf and reading impaired, again, I don’t pitch my domains even when there is an offer on the table. It is not about the FUCKING DOMAIN at that point. It is about the deal. It is about 10 other things that you need to know and find out. It’s about MONEY. So if you are pitching the domain, to me, that is rookie stuff. I never feel a need to pitch a domain because that is a bit defensive. The domain speaks for itself. Focus on the deal and not the domain and maybe that is part of the secret.
Rick Schwartz
Folks call me out without even putting their name on the post?? Then everyone would know the name to attach to the failure. But….a bit balless to me. I have signed my name on every post since 1996. I own my words.
All those throwing shit need to put their real names out there so we all know clearly who you are. Collectively you are losers by that definition alone.
As I stated above:

So if you comment without your real name you are a loser by my personal definition. If that hurts folks, GREAT! Be real and I will treat you rea. But imaginary friends went out with the tooth fairy.
To the regular folks, you know these guys. You think they are successful because they have created a high profile personality for themselves without actually accomplishing anything. So they prey on their groupies that do all types of things we would never do.
Just Ghosts to me. I love to pee all over ghosts. Friend or foe. We never know. Until we do.
jmo
I would list what it is I have owned and sold but out of respect for the buyers and so on I will only state I have owned several LL .com, generic one word domains and completed multiple sales totaling millions of dollars. I am not throwing shit or bitter, just an observation. I can respect your accomplishments but at times youre an abusive father.. eeerr webfather.
If I am a loser by your definition so be it. Coming from you it just doesnt carry a whole lot of weight, that is by your own doing.
Rick Schwartz
jmo…
I can see by your words you are not a loser. I just use you as an example of how I generally respond to those with no names that throw mean spirited bombs for no reason. So that was why I was willing to take the time to debate your points, clarify my position and have you and others understand why I come across this way. Remember, the arrows only go one way because I name nobody but use my own name. Anon’s use no names and those arrows are aimed at me with my name on it. Guess it goes with the territory. But I wanted to clarify how I look at things and the misconceptions you may have had.
Beleive me, I know how to pitch. But in sales, what is even more important, is know when to stop selling. ;-)
jmo
I can respect that Rick, my point was simply we need to be careful of how we are perceived by others. Often times I don’t appear to care myself, I need to take my own advice.
I agree 100% that there are pigeon shit domains but it is just as important how we deliver a message as the message itself.
I love to laugh and see the humor it everything but sometimes it hurts me. The logo is funny, the topic has humorous elements but the very valid and true (imo) message of wasted dollars on shit domains is lost and it becomes more personal the more we laugh.
Hey jmo, glad we can take a few punches and still remain civil.
Rick Schwartz
“Hey jmo, glad we can take a few punches and still remain civil.”
See that was/is the foundation of everything. That is what I react to the most. I am on the receiving end of the incivility for a very long time. I think that is my greatest single disappointment with the net and y past chatboard etc. There are always those that REFUSE to keep it civil.
Howard and I can argue and yell and at the end of the day we laugh because the object of the argument is nothing personal. It is to come to the best decision or pick the best solution or learn the most we can.
So you and I can rise to the occasion to be civil. How long will it be before some moron comes and shits all over this? SAD…..but set your watch. When you can be that predictable, well, maybe I exhausted all the other ways and at this point, just want to gather folks that can be civil in one place.
Disagree without being disagreeable was always the slogan at top of my board. Unfortunately, always someone to derail things. Remember to set your watch. ;-)
John Stoeten
Hey Rick,
I had a post here and it seems to be gone. Is there a rule I broke. I used my real name,not my last name like now but still my real stuff. Can you direct me to the rules or is it a mood thing :). John
John Stoeten
I think I see what you’re trying to do. You need to be controversial to get traffic. I know guys with a really controversial blog that make over $4,000 per month so have at it but you need ot advertise. Well if you’ve got lots of pigeon feed you don’t I guess. I’ll bet you’re really not a have bad person if one got to know you. Maybe I didn’t stay on topic so you covered me in Pigeon Shit until a bigger bird gobbled my post up. John
John Stoeten
Me again, damn now I feel like the dumbest pigeon in the flock. I posted in an older post of yours, it’s still there not taken for feed. Sorry.
Remember, to be able to appreciate soaring with eagles you have to know what it feels like to have your feet glued to the ground by turkeys. John
