peterdehaas(.com) is really up for sale by the current owner …

I promised to let you all in on my most embarrasing experience of this year (so far) …

The loss of my domain name …peterdehaas(.com)

I will give you the whole runthrough once I have tried every angle and I am still in the middle of this. One thing is for sure I think, I will not get this domain name back at any reasonable price.

The broker who has bought the domain has declared it his "featured and most valuable domain currently" and the domain is now offered for the price of $20.000

As I am totally not up to speed on what determines the actual value of a domain I do understand one thing very clear. The value is based on my personal effort of blogging for over 2 years and the fact that the domain name is intertwined with links across the blogosphere. Although the current owner / broker rightfully bought the domain, I have a hard time believing that exploiting its "value" in this way is good ethical business practice.

More to follow on this. Meanwhile any advise in this area is much appreciated …
