OK - straight into it. This installment deals with an important issue to be considered when buying domains on Forums (again using DigitalPoint and NamePros as examples) - that of Due Diligence (or Buyer Beware).
Due Diligence:

As you guys know, I’ve talked before about NamePros and DigitalPoint in relation to picking up Domain names.
Well - browsing NamePros yesterday I came across a ‘for sale’ thread that I thought one of you might be interested in.

In this piece, we’ll be looking at what will be the main stomping ground for most of you - the Forums. In particular I’ll be covering DigitalPoint and NamePros, because they are [...]

Just a very quick update to let you know about some offers on Domain Registration:
GoDaddy - They currently have a Voucher code where you can register a .com (or .net/.org I think) for just 99c ($1.19 with the ICANN fee). That’s a pretty awesome offer. Just specify discount code ‘test99′ when checking out. I have [...]

Hi again everyone. This is the second post in a series about Domain Flipping (plus parking and development).
Hopefully by now you’ll have accounts at GoDaddy, Namecheap etc and have started to look around the various Forums I mentioned in Part 1. So this time around I’ll look in a bit more detail at options for [...]

It looks like iBlog.com is for sale at NamePros. If this is a genuine sale then obviously it’s a great name but I somehow think it might be going for a bit more than I can afford ;-(
