domain Octopus.com - Please appraise

8 figures

Very nice domain. 5-6 figures.

Agreed, 5-6 figures. Very brandable.

I think I agree with the others. It has a value of about $85,000-$150,000 if you are able to hold until the right opportunity arises. Domains at that value may not be very liquid. If forced to liquidate fast, the domain has a value more more along the lines of $20,000-$35,000.

This domain was subject to a UDRP loss in 2011, which was an awful decision.
I would be fascinated to know what happened since then.

The domain is worth near or in the six figure range. It could sell for even more to the right buyer.

I remember that UDRP.
It was an epic fail. The previous owner did everything possible to jeopardize ownership of the domain and predictably she lost. A lot of money down the drain.

That being said, there is no shortage of possible end users. I myself have one or two names in mind.
Realistic value: mid five figures and up.

Apparently, the Octopus travel brand is being retired:

Wouldn't surprise me if it sells for 6 figures...

There's one fellow who would love to buy it... but it's out of his league
