Book: The Future of Social Commerce - Now for 99 cents! (by @baekdal) #opinion: "Regular readers will know that I do not like the 99 cent price. I have written several articles about it, including the popular "The Myth of the 99 Cent Book." In it I explain how the math just doesn't add up, and how the authors are shooting themselves in the foot.
So why am I suddenly doing exactly the one thing that I telling everyone not to do? Well ...It's a test.
Many have sent me stories about authors selling their book for 99 cents. Amanda Hocking is just one but there are many others. And each story is even more fantastic than the other. One story I received last night told of an author selling her book first at $9.99, and got almost no sale. Change it 99 cents and sold 3,000 in no time at all.
What people have been telling me is, "you don't know until you tried!"
Fair enough. I'm game. Let's try it."

People Of Earth: Prepare For Economic Disaster
People Of Earth: Prepare For Economic Disaster: "The price of just about every major agricultural commodity has been absolutely soaring during the past year....
*The price of corn has doubled over the last six months.
*The price of wheat has more than doubled over the past year.
*The price of soybeans is up about 50% since last June.
*The price of cotton has more than doubled over the past year.
*The commodity price of orange juice has doubled since 2009.
*The price of sugar is the highest it has been in 30 years.
Unfortunately, the production of food in most countries around the world is very highly dependent on oil, so as oil goes up in price this is going to make the food crisis even worse.
Hold on to your hats folks."

Late-2000s financial crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Late-2000s financial crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "many causes for the financial crisis have been suggested, with varying weight assigned by experts,[9] the United States Senate issuing the Levin–Coburn Report found "that the crisis was not a natural disaster, but the result of high risk, complex financial products; undisclosed conflicts of interest; and the failure of regulators, the credit rating agencies, and the market itself to rein in the excesses of Wall Street."[10]
Critics argued that credit rating agencies and investors failed to accurately price the risk involved with mortgage-related financial products, and that governments did not adjust their regulatory practices to address 21st-century financial markets.[11] The 1999 repeal of the Glass–Steagall Act of 1933"

Some Domains I Own, and Would Sell, For the Right Price.
I read somewhere around the middle of peak domain buying days, I had read that one should not really get too attached to their domains. I suppose that my current issue might well be that even though I have gotten pretty good at developing websites fairly quickly, it really is true that every new website becomes some sort of commitment and/or obligation. Likewise buying domains is like acquiring dependents. Domains need to be cared for, utilized, nurtured. If you let them sort of just sit on some list somewhere, they sort of get old, or stale, so to speak.
That being said, and since I am so anti; giving away a huge sum of money as a commission, I thought I might just publicize a few domains, and the appraisal they have gotten:
TheHost.us
$1.9K USD
63.8M
49.4K
$1.73 USD
WordWorld.org
$1.8K USD
1.7M
If someone is interested in this domain, you need to act very very quickly! I happen to believe it is worth far more than $1,800. I honestly am not even sure if I would part with it for even 20 or 40 times its current appraised value.Yet if you have the kind of money I am trying to talk about here, I would definitely want hear from you.

I am not in the loan business, yet if you are, or want to be, then you might want to be the proud owner of this domain. True it is a .net (not a dot.com) yet .net is big enough for Verizon and OptOnline.net. Also sure we do have an abbreviation (as opposed to having to spell out the word business in a longer URL) yet that is some of the charm behind this domain. I suppose I would be really happy to get 20 times it appraised value (who wouldn't be) but if your not wanting to spend that kind of money on this domain, then well since it is a .net lets talk!

If you like the penny stock biz, well then this is the domain for you. Since I really do not understand the penny business so well, well I could try to come down from my usually 20 times appraisal price. If you had around $12,750 to spend on this domain, well then write me a check today!
ListYourSite.org
$820 USD
16.8M
$1.40 USD
If you really want this domain, and .org domains are even more "respected" these days as credible domains (because they do not "imply" that the whole world is "just" about money -even though these days so many people "suspect" that statement is becoming more true. Well I like this domain a lot and I have a dozens of great ideas for it.
Maybe you have a better idea for; ListYourSite.org and maybe have a little more money to actually develop it (or keep and aggressively remarket it) Now I know that getting $80,000 for domains these days is harder than it used to be. Somehow though one still has got to believe that in the right market place this domain could net $25,000. Plenty of Web Masters need to keep finding ways to build up traffic for their websites. The keys is how you firmly utilize the .org TLD. Some people stray away from the over-all pushiness of the dot.com way.
If I was asking $50k I would understand you might think twice yet if you have a plan to execute this internet service product, which is so hot right now, then you need to get in touch with me before I rethink my bottom line offer of the 25K. Buy it quickly because I believe I might immediately come to regret parting with this domain at all.
