Hi all
My first post!
I have owned about a dozen or so domain names for about 9 years, but not sold any. I just registered them about 9 years ago and left them there, apart from a couple that I developed into websites years ago.
They have been laying dormant for about 6 years.
The thing is, a few (or one in particular) I think may be a lot more valuable that I am asking for. I want to know if I am selling myself short on it:
I won't list the domain here as I am not sure if this breaks terms of posting on Namepros but it was an online gaming website I developed through 2009-2011. It used to be pretty busy.
The thing is, this domain name was the .com of a company name that sold in 2013 for $100m USD. (They didn't own the .com, I did and before they came about). They then subsequently changed their name and there is no trademark issues.
The name still gets 300-400 uniques a month and Google gets thousands of searches for the domain 'word'.
Estibot says it's worth $9,600 and all other of these online appraisal services value it in the mid - high $X,XXX. I know these are not totally reliable but I am guessing they give some kind of domain value representation.
So my question is, is a domain that is a .com that gets that many uniques, even years after the website(s) stopped functioning, and is the .com of a well known name in the online gaming industry (with no trademark issues at all) worth more than what I am asking?
My BIN is $700 on SEDO etc - am I selling myself short, and how would I go about selling it as I just want to offload it?
Thanks all
