As we say on DomainSherpa – all roads lead to domains. And this is a new show related to domains called “Off The Market Forever”, starring Chris Zuiker and James Iles! In this show we focus on the domain space from the lens of end-user acquisitions and upgrades, from the perspective of one the best domain brokers in world and one of top journalists in the space – both who have unique insight and knowledge of the industry and domains as they relate to end-users.

In this episode, the Sherpas interview Andrew Gazdecki of MicroAcquire to discuss his journey creating his startup and what led to the upgrade and acquisition of the Acquire.com ultra-premium domain name. Andrew gives great insight into what led to the decision to acquire the domain, how he obtained the domain through a broker, and how much he paid for it. His story is another testament as to why it’s important for a company to lock up its exact-match domain name before it is “Off The Market Forever”! The Sherpas are also joined for the first time by MediaOptions broker, Matthew Zuiker.
