4 Reasons It’s Overpriced Trash

1. Trademark Liability: OpenAI’s Lawyers Are Watching

  • OpenAI owns ChatGPT™. While “GPT” is generic, GPTchat.com is dangerously close to trademark infringement.
  • Precedent: Meta reclaimed MetaVerseConsulting.com via UDRP in 2022.
  • ShitBio Verdict: “Buy this domain, and you might as well send OpenAI a thank-you note for your UDRP notice.”

2. Zero Brandability: Who Even Searches for ‘GPT Chat’?

  • ChatGPT has 94M monthly searches; GPT Chat has 1,300 (Ahrefs).
  • Buyers want exact-match terms (e.g., AIChatTool.com > GPTchat.com).
  • ShitBio Verdict: “GPTchat.com sounds like a knockoff energy drink, not a cutting-edge AI tool.”

3. Hypocritical Pricing: $132k vs. $400k? Pick a Lane!

Let’s look at some Namebio sale history with the “gpt” / “chat”

gptchat.ai$2,5252025-02-25
gptchatter.com$4202023-12-14
chatgpt.us$1732024-01-06

  • ShitBio Verdict: “Is it $132k or $400k? Either way, it’s delusional.”

4. Sketchy History: From Click Farms to AI Hype

  • Wayback Machine Reveals:
  • 2016–2018: GPTchat.com was a Click Per Pay affiliate site, offering 0.001–1.1042 prizes for “surfing” and “promoting.”
  • Translation: It was a glorified click farm.
  • ShitBio Verdict: “From penny-click scams to AI hype – GPTchat.com is the domain equivalent of a used car salesman.”

ShitBio Rating

Verdict: 5 out of 5

  • Translation: “The seller is either delusional or hoping to exploit AI hype. Either way, it’s a dumpster fire.”

What’s a Fair Price?

  • 300–500: For speculative buyers ignoring trademark risks.
  • Alternative: Register CustomGPTBot.com for $12/year when the current owner gives up and does not renew it when it drops. The below is the Whois record as at today:
