      Honestly, i don’t know what modx.com vs. modxcms.com gets us. It sure isn’t worth more than a couple hundred bucks to me, and I’ve got a pretty vested and long history with this project. wink

        Yeah - I think it would be of more value if it were packed full of modX relevant content, nonetheless, a 4 letter domain, no numbers, with a vowel in the middle, with a .com extension, and a more and more frequently searched term of increasing popularity . . . I think he’d be making a mistake looking at bids under mid 0000’s, and if he doesn’t get offers like that now - he can always wait 12 months and get a lot more smiley

          Ryan, this may not sound like it’s worth much to you but this is a potentially hot property and it would be in the best interest of the project to own it. I’d be willing to make a small donation toward this. Having said that I know that the choice of ponying up bucks for a domain name or paying devs for time put in is a REALLY hard choice. smiley Maybe if those devs were to weigh in on this you might be surprised.

            Well, they don’t seem to be too terribly serious about selling it; I still haven’t gotten any response to my enquiry.

                  Nope - there’s definately no one home there. Besides, if you advertise a domain for sale - at the domain, any enquiries would logically be welcomed and answered.

                  Perhaps the sellers on holiday smiley

                    I assume someone has tried the whois contact email, not just "sales at modx.com" as stated on the page?

                      This domain is for sale, Serious offers only. sales at modx dot com

                      this indicates, they know exactly what they have and will sell it to the highest bidder

                      they aren’t stupid lol

                      people are quick to snatch up a domain of an upcoming anything that’s why when you come up with a name you have to first secure the domain
