Seems a very high price for FinalGoal.com?
Just another mountain of overpriced junk. The only keyword generic name in the entire lot was a steal. If you want junk you have the rest. I guess what startles me is someone actually registered these names to be sold in the first place. I have said it time and time again…branding over keywords is a huge mistake and one made by most everybody. It is easy to see that these names have ZERO value. If you don’t understand the ins and outs of domains don’t go guessing…but people insist on it!
It seems cybersquatting still pays considering 2 of these domain names are ccTLD (Shopee and Paul Valentine)
