Smittie From the beginning I wanted smittie.com as my domain. Someone had registered it and was offering it for sale. Initially, the web page said that the minimum offer that would be considered was $500. Some months later it was $850. Today, it is $1230. However, they accepted a significantly lower offer from me.
