How did you happen to find Carabiner.com on Flippa?
\n<\/strong>
\nI was just browsing through available domains on Flippa. I had just recently attended a domainer conference and was buying and registering some domain names; I decided to see what was available on Flippa.<\/p>\n

What prompted or motivated you to invest in Carabiner.com?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fact that it was a single word, a physical product and a .COM extension really caught my attention. Those three criteria make for the best domains according to everything I’d heard and read about investing in domain names.<\/p>\n

Did anything the seller do by way of due-diligence, listing style or process “seal-the-deal” for you, or were you simply set on this domain name no matter what?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I pretty much knew that this was a highly valued domain name because of the criteria listed above — but attaching the Estibot evaluation did help as far as making the due diligence easier.<\/p>\n

Can you give us a glimpse into future plans you have for Carabiner.com?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As soon as I saw the name I thought of setting up\u00a0an eCommerce store<\/a> for rock climbing and related gear. I’ve got some other online projects that are currently taking up my time but in the near future I should be able to work on Carabiner.com more and have a proper storefront set up.<\/p>\n

Anything else you’d like to share about your buying experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everything was really smooth. Communication back and forth with the seller was great and I think Escrow.com is a great way to protect both the buyer and seller.<\/p>\n
