Seven Years of Patience
Zak wanted zakmorris.com for seven years. For most of that time it was simply unavailable — owned by someone else, with nothing to do but wait and keep an eye on it. Then, a few months before launch, the previous owner found him. And the emails started.
Seven Years Waiting
The domain was owned by someone else for most of that time. Zak kept watching, hoping it would eventually become available.
Daily Sales Emails
Not weekly. Not monthly. Daily. The previous owner emailed almost every day asking if Zak wanted to buy the domain.
The Price Kept Dropping
From around $500, to $400, $300, $200, and eventually near $100. The harder he tried to sell, the less interested Zak became.
Zak Ignored Every Offer
He had already waited seven years. What’s a little longer? Negotiating felt unnecessary when patience had worked this long.
The Domain Expired
After months of trying to sell, the owner let it expire. No deal, no negotiation, no final “best offer” — he simply forgot to renew it.
Registered for the Standard Fee
Zak registered zakmorris.com the moment it became available — for the cost of a normal domain registration. Someone spent months pitching hundreds of pounds; then failed to spend a few quid to keep it.
