why holodeck.com is not for sale (I think)
- My Internet identity is holodeck.com from the dawn of Iternet time. That's how people know to reach me. The hassle factor of changing is huge.
- I have provided holodeck.com addresses to quite a few friends and family. The hassle factor for them would be equally huge.
- My parents and inlaws are getting old. Teaching them to go to a new site after all these years would be almost impossible. I can hear the conversations about the holodeck bookmark not working anymore for the next 10 years already. Okay, I love em, but that's a hassle factor of an order of magnitude scale.
- Yes, holodeck.com is cool, but come on, do you really need it that badly? If your business can't survive without this domain name then you seriously need to find a new business model or a better product/service.
okay... you still want to buy holodeck.com
I've been sent lots of offers in the $1k - $10k range over the years and turned them all down. Considering that when I started hosting this domain
it cost me $100 a month just to put up a static html page with a single email address you can imagine I've spent those kinds of numbers just hosting
the domain so they don't mean much to me. We're talking about a situation where I don't want to do this. If you want me to even consider it you have
to make me a really stupid offer. I am not asking you to do that. In fact I'm asking you not to do that. However, I am open minded and
will respond if you still wish to persue the issue. If you want to make a serious offer click the "more" link below and it will take you to some instructions
