Hi,

Short version
I'm selling "nativetongues.com" and all profits will be going to 2 student charity fundraising groups.

I'd appreciate any help either by making offers yourself or advertising the fact with any of your clients who might be interested, etc...


The long version:
Nativetongues was the business name for a partnership that broke up a year or so ago. Part of the breakup agreement was that the domain name should be sold and all profits should go to two charity fundraising groups.
1. Sheffield University Rag - www.spiderstuff.com.
2. Sheffield High School for Girls - charity appeal.

Now, I'm not particularly keen on the idea of wasting $99+ on registering with all these different domain sellers as it's money that could be better spent by the groups benefitting themselves so if you think you have a client who would be interested in purchasing the domain then please let them know and ask them to contact me on sale@nativetongues.com

I'd like to think you can trust my professionalism that this is a legit request but I'd be happy to confirm it for any who may be scepticle, although to tell the truth I'm not sure how I would :cartman:

If you can help then it'll be much appreciated and I know if successful the cash paid will go a long way towards making a lot more money for charity. :)

Thanks

Martin

I honestly know nothing about these things in terms of value, etc... but I do know that it's a catchy name that is associated with the localisation and translation field thanks to the business we were in.

That's got to be better value than a name that someone just grabbed something and is selling it on for mega bucks without adding anything. :(

I guess the other thing is that the cash is going to charity so I'd like to get as much as possible for the crews that get the cash in the end.

So is that an offer? :D

Eep... looks like I was running foul of da' rulz... sorry 'bout that... :o

Anyway, after such a "stimulating" response the whole idea has been abandoned. Instead the domain has been donated to a schools project that would benefit from it so it's no longer for sale...

Somehow $5 didn't seem to be quite the price I had in mind :eek:

So, if you wanted it... tough, it's gone to a new home.
