Value of Domain Hacks

[xman]

Here's my question..what is the value of domain hack? I've seen some good domain hack and i was wondering about the value of it. I myself own one and i'm not sure whether or not i should get more. I haven't seen any sale of domain hack. Why do we register domain hack? Is it because the domain looks cool or because there's a potential end user who's willing to buy such domain?

I see ta.gs has just sold at sedo for £3100.

Perhaps there is chance for my ma.gs after all

I think you have all chances

Nah, I prefer reselling them for $x.xxx - $xx.xxx to another sucker like me that thinks there is value in them :P

Darn I thought I was the only sucker for hacks.

I prefer dumping my useless $$$$ on them every year for renewals :D

LOL

I sold one of my hack for $18K a couple months ago.

I'm in escrow since 3 weeks or so now for a hack but I have no idea if this will go through as the buyer takes a lot of time and has second thoughts. Hopefully it will. Will share when done.

Forgot to update this. It didn't go through as the buyer (big company) stopped answering and left escrow to expire.

It was a .re domain (haven't seen a sale yet in this extension) and the price was low x,xxx.

Anyway, still a lot of chances.

@Xman congrats mate. what was the extension?

I've finally joined the club! Today I bought my first hack, I'm surprised so many are taken in countless ccTLDs. Even medium level keywords and GEOs (medium sized cities or places that are not popular tourist destinations) are gone.

I was very surprised MyrtleBea.ch was available and grabbed it What do you think?

I am sorry to hear that your sale didn't go through. Any restriction in .RE?

The extension is .AM I posted the name in completed sale thread.

It's a good hack but a bit long for my taste (I don't like 2 word hacks unless the second word is the extension), however this one works rather good for a 2 worder, it wouldn't surprise me to see it reported as a mid $x.xxx enduser sale, from a domainer you can probably expect $100, at least that would be what I would be willing to spend (max.)

Thanks, Toni. What I like about this GEO is the fact it's one of the most popular tourist destinations in the US and the .com sold for $6.5 million. Plus there are plenty of sales containing the keyword reported in Namebio, the highest of which is MyrtleBeachCondos.com for $120,000.

Ma.gs is really a good hack. I used to collect only 2+2 hack back in the day. That is definitely can go for $x,xxx range.

Have they changed the logo on their site? Right now it doesn't look anything like Apple's logo, there isn't even an apple in it.

 

[surprise]
