For Fake Comments Suggesting Particular Domain Names — Watch Out

When is advice not advice?

So I’m running through the latest comments on Reglike when I see this comment from “Simon”:

I just saw domain.TV for sale on Sedo for $10,000. I really want that domain, but am unsure as to the true value (price seems high by at least $5K). Any advice out there?

Followed shortly by this reply from “Neely”:

don’t know what the value of domain.tv is; still, i believe the .tv domains will be the second most valuable extension (behind .com) within a few years time. .net & .org will follow .com and .tv…watch.

bahamas.tv sold today on sedo for $10,000. domain.tv is brandable (don’t know what you’re going to use it for) and singular (no “s”), so I’d say if you could make money using the domain, then it might be worth the $10,000 asking price. that being stated, if you’re just a domain investor, I’m not sure you’d want to pay that much…only pay high prices if you’re an end user and the domain will help you make money relatively quickly. hope this feedback is helpful:)

And then another comment from “Neely”:

Hey Simon,

I just looked at your “cheeseburger.tv” domain on sedo…it’s priced at $1,000, not $10,000…BIG DIFFERENCE! I say buy it.

Is Neely being helpful? Not really. Neely is Simon and is trying to pump his own domain name. Then Neely makes another comment on another post:

I’ve been watching another “beach” domain on Sedo (domain.com). The seller was asking $50,000 just six months ago and now it’s priced at $2,000. I tempted to buy it as a long term investment, but can’t seem to pull the trigger (not many google searches for “keywords”). Any advice out there?

Sure, I’ve got some advice for you: get lost.
