Hello,

I am interested in purchasing your domain name,
43things.com.

Would you be interested in selling? I’m interested in
the domain name itself (not any site content).

If interested let me know. Also, if you can provide an
asking price or a ballpark figure that would be
appreciated but not neccesary.

Thank you,

    Everything’s for sale at the right price! Say… $200 mil? I dunno, you might all be well enough off that you don’t care about such things as “money” or “more money.”

    Just kidding. I love you all. Yes.

    What are the odds that someone else thought that 43 was the correct number of things for a person to have?

    Well, it’s better than being scooped, i guess :)

    Well, it would just be sad, is all I can say. But if it were truly a lot of dough, I couldn’t begrudge the wonderful robots reaping some rewards.

    Whoa! I wonder what this person would like to do with 43things. Creepy!

    In other thoughts I think someone should buy the domain 42things.com and make another Douglas Adams fansite.

    Any chance it was Merlin Mann? I tripped over his podcast in the iTunes directory this morning, called 43 folders. His interests seem strangely in line with 43 things, in that his podcasts are little tips on life improvement. Like, “Cleaning off the bed”, “How to Leave a Voicemail Message”, as well as a mild-mannered tirade about a landline phone that seems to be “Made of Human A**”. I don’t think I’ll be loading any of it to the pod anytime soon, but it did make me curious.
