Show me your App-Names

nametrekker · Aug 6, 2011

Now that apps have exploded beyond all initial forecasts and the App Revolution is ongoing and growing, I'm curious to see how app-happy any of you have been, in picking up app names?

I picked up several premium app names in 2008, either hand-regging them or buying on the secondary market. I've sold 9 over the last few years for a substantial ROI, and receive inquiries or an offer for various app names at least 5 x per week.

I see where the Singapore startup that acquired mobileapps.com received early stage funding about 2 months ago, and the founders claim that the domain helped them a lot with this seed round.

The owners of greatapps.com were asking a minimum of $1 million for their domain, but it now appears they are planning to launch a robust site next month.

Our Company wanted to purchase freeapps.com, but we couldn't afford the asking price of $2 million, which is well beyond our budget.

I think Intuit purchased Apps.com for a very nice figure (was it a million) some years ago -- I imagine the domain now would be worth at least $5 million.

Please share your thoughts, and please show me your app-names?

MobileApps.com started from a small time domainer who wanted to build something up from one of his best domains. Sold loads of his pigeon shit domains to save up enough to buy MobileApps.com about 2 years back for $10K.

At that time apps were not really a big thing.
Teamed up with an old classmate and started building out the domain. Pitched like crazy to loads of potential investors, travelling and sleeping in budget hotels .. from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing to Barcelona, etc.

And the rest, like they say, is history...

I know this because, I am the owner of MobileApps.com

Other ventures that was started but did not go too well... SwapNames.com & DNHour.com

Congratulations on your site, and the funding round from the Japanese mobile company. Looks like you got a decent valuation for your Company/site and biz model, team and platform. And you gave up only 16.6% equity if I recall.

Wish you well with this venture. Right place at the right time -- I guess in your case, Tokyo

what kind of inquiries are you seeing? Are they
keyword traffic names or more bandable types?

I just sold an org "apps" name for mid $$$. Was
wondering what the trends are .... I have a decent
list of available names I might want to obtain.

Ive got 3Dapp.tv and 3Dapps.tv , zero interest at any price. Annoying because these things sure seem popular on multiple platforms including smart tv's.
Ive got schnapps.tv too but Im not sure that counts heh

I'm so out of the loop.

Great Apps for $1 million? Seriously?
What is it, $200K for mediocre Apps?
And about $100K for overrated Apps?

Using that as a price guide:

ExcellentApps
BestApps
MajorApps
NoteWorthyApps
NiceApps
SuperApps
AwesomeApps
TopApps
TerrificApps

Would net me about $10M... I should start trying to flip em'

One of them is available is available.

I have AppsLists.net

Not the greatest Apps domain out there, and the website I have up isn't spectacular, but it does pay for itself and a little more

bloogmoo · Aug 7, 2011

software-comp.com

or ERP domain name

sap-america.com

Mobileapps.com is a great domain. I feel it's a better domain than freeapps.com and greatapps.com.

The only million dollar "app" names, at present, and not based on their sites, I feel, are apps.com (owned by Intuit and which is now a burgeoning app marketplace) and app.com (owned by a media company and which is an online publication) ---

However, I do feel premium app names will escalate in value.
