For some reason, just recently I decided to see if spxl.com was available to register, and to my surprise found that the existing registration had recently expired. What luck! Only… I wasn’t able to register it immediately, as the registrar was holding it in some unusable state (assumedly to allow time to milk some extra higher fees from the existing registrant) and I was told to try bidding for it on some other domain auction site. I don’t know what the details were for using that site – a minimum bid of something like $60, but what exactly would that get me? Maybe the domain… I don’t know. What I do know is that since then some (apparently) Chinese domain squatting company has nabbed it, and seeing prices bandied about in the $100k range for similar domains I wasn’t inclined to make further inquiries. I did notice that spxl.tv was available, though, and the temptation took me… some credit card details and so on later and it was mine. Who needs vowels anyway?
New site coming soon: spxl.tv
