People just seem to think that since they are not dealing with you face to face that they don't have to follow through with their deals. But, it is good that you don't let this get you down - it is better to move on and spend your time and energy on more profitable ventures than wallow in the fact that something fell through - you definitely have the right attitude.

I had a written offer--with earnest money--for over $100K for one of my sites last year. The buyer kept dragging his feet and I turned other buyers away. After 2 months of going back and forth with his attorneys and mine he backed out. Sure I got the earnest money, but the distractions and hassles probably cost me more than that in mental anguish. But I agree with Mikael--the "yes" makes it worth it. I feel your pain on the domain deal.

I imagined you would be totally covered with them. :) I am currently working in a project were the main objective is to put buyers and sellers together to buy a niche service. Internet is a great place for niche services which are difficult to find elsewhere. You really do not have any tattoos?

Finding an idea is moderately easy. Buying a domain is simple. Building a simple site is easy. But building and promoting a system, well, that's where the patience and hard work really come into play. I think something that needs to be explained is the time commitment involved.
