WealthAdvisor.com Domain Up For Grabs On a personal note, I have owned the domain WealthAdvisor.com for several years and decided that it was time to allow it to become an active site again. The domain will be listed on Ebay in an auction beginning on October 15, 2013 at 3:00 pm EDT and ending on October 23, 2013 at 3:00 pm EDT. Ebay was chosen as a way to allow all interested parties to have a chance at purchasing this highly valuable domain. The domain will be placed in escrow at www.Escrow.com to facilitate transfer to the winning bidder. This is a great domain name that really should belong to a major financial services company. If you know of someone that might be interested, please send them to www.WealthAdvisor.com to learn more.
