Just wondering what the general thoughts are about whether the recent trend to legalize marijuana will boost the prices of pot-related domains?

Maybe this is what you need:xf.wink:
This matches well with any .Golf Portfolio.

Honestly, I think your store will struggle with either. There are far better names out there. Stick to the aftermarket as much as possible, and be extremely reserved and selective with handregs...IMO.
My thoughts exactly.

WeedWorld
and HerbUser sound better than what he has. And, for a store that will be selling weed equipment, HerbalUser (or HerbUser for that matter) won't cut it, IMO.

I'd agree, but most all domains these days seem to be a "play on words". Like "juana" possibly standing for "wanna" or "canna" standing for "can of", there are so many games you can play with words and domains. I didn't register JuanaRecover, but I did register "WordPlayDomains" after studying the make up of domains. btw, did you know that wordplay is one word unlike child play that's two words?

This said, i did register two domains a few minutes ago; ForeverCanna(.)com which led to ForeverCures(.)com (see reg of the the day). Both of these names I strongly believe are worth the risk of $8.50 per name. If just one of these names were to sell for $1,000, I would realize a gain of over 5,000 percent . Most people don't have the math aptitude to understand any of this....it's all about risk vs.reward:xf.grin:
ForeverCures sounds great. I believe you'll get a tidy sum for it provided the right buyer comes across it.

Thanks Nimajneb...I also own IncredibleCure. Besides having a portfolio consisting of names that start with "Incredible", I also have a portfolio of medical/healthcare domains that I plan on taking directly to the medical and healthcare industries. In the interim I've held off regging any more cannabis domains, but thought with all the talk about inhaling, someone might want to start an accredited school for how to smoke pot, thus;

inhale
University(.)com

I like the way Universities play with the letter "U", and even the way Uniregistry plays with their "U" in their advertising. I thought of Inhale101 and InhaleU, but Inhale University sounded better to me.

Thanks again:xf.smile:

Sometimes I post interesting sales reports from Namebio on here, but not all sales are public. I sold some on GD and all were not made public - so maybe only their auctions are public and they do not report to DNJournal or Namebio. Does anyone know for sure?

But as said in the thread on the GD appraisal tool https://www.namepros.com/threads/godaddy-estimated-values-are-they-useful.1065720/, GD is exposing sales figures that appear to be GD sales (or do they also pull in info from other venues?).

Anyway today searching for a valuation at GD on a cannabis term turned up these interesting sales reports there - they don't state date or venue. So it is worth researching keyword sales via the appraisal tool I'd say.

cannabiscard.com $2,000 (USD)

cannabisdistribution.com
Sold for $2,295 (USD)

cannabiscampaign.com
Sold for $2,095 (USD)

cannabisvaluation.com
Sold for $1,994 (USD)

cannabisconfidential.com
Sold for $2,595 (USD)

cannabissoftware.com

Sold for $1,995 (USD)

cannabisexchange.com
Sold for $1,095 (USD)

Like a lot of people I am keen to see 420 names sell - tried that on the GD appraisal tool and turned up these sales:

420pure.com
Sold for $425 (USD)

420med.com
Sold for $1,000 (USD)

420high.com
Sold for $1,280 (USD)

Try it yourself at https://godaddy.com/domain-value-appraisal

@carob Believe that GoDaddy is proprietary just like the rest of the big boys...
Thanks for the "420" not bad prices for a not so premium keyword (compared to cannabis/canna/marijuana)

420 just doesn’t sell. THC is the same. It’s all about CBD, Canna, Hemp...

so owner of cannabisexchange.com is also the owner of hempworld.com and hempstore.com

A domainer?

Most of the mj related terms still have a place, if paired with high quality keywords that make sense together. Random junk words paired with a popular mj term is still exactly that...junk!

A few years back it was a different world, especially with regard to legalization, and how it related to domain names. 2012-2014 was the proverbial old west in the mj niche. No one knew how it would all play out and develop, and there were no real rules or templates to follow, so folks were buying up everything, domainers, investors, and end-users alike, and some for ridiculous amounts.

Fast forward a few years to present day and it's a whole different ballgame. Many states in the US, and worldwide, have since legalized, and have far more education on how it to do it better and more efficiently, but the Federal grip, so to speak, is still a major factor, leaving the industry quite limited and restrained.

Keith is right, cbd, hemp, canna (and cannabis...IMO) are where it's at presently, but even cannabis is becoming a tough sale. Many of the others, especially slang terms, are no longer as desirable. Of course, that could all change again, as the industry progresses and feds ease up on their hold, but until then, it's still an eggshell industry, and the safest bets for the time being, are with the aforementioned terms. Again, IMO.

I’ve sold domains to him and also tried to buy. He rarely sells and has owned most of his domains from way back. I don’t get the lease thing but it is what it is!

Another thing people have mentioned here is local legislation or regulations prohibiting certain words in business names or advertising, such as cannabis or weed or marijuana. So that could mean a demand for other words - if you look at dispensary type businesses it seems you see a lot using words like green, leaf, wellness and who knows what else.

So depending on location and market all sorts of stuff could be used - in fact for the end user that means they could start from scratch and hand register a very original name.

Agreed...and many do resort to their own regs and brandable creations, as there are so many terms that can be used, which isn't always a good thing. The market has changed quite a bit, and what was popular 3-5 years ago may not be popular today, which is what I was essentially trying to convey. It appears it may have been mistaken by some, but no matter.

Anyway, it's a cyclical market, like any other, and things can change on a dime. I certainly wouldn't discount the other mj related terms, as they're likely to have another heyday, but there's no telling when that might be.

As always, keep the keywords as strong as possible, and ensure they make sense, especially when paired with less favorable terms like 420, pot, etc...IMO

...gl to all.

Carob...your post about hand registering "original" names got my attention to the point where I just hand registered the following names:

MarijuanaRxNews(.)com
HempRxNews(.)com
CannaRxNews(.)com
PainRxNews(.)com
MedicalRxNews.(.)com

While I was advised to stop registering cannabis names, and another member referred to me as an "ignorant clown", I just can't seem to help myself. Obviously any hand registered name can be considered "original", but the fun I had coming up with these names was well worth the $42.50 I spent. Where else in this world can you have so much fun without breaking the bank. Both laughter and sex are free, but domaining is pretty damn close...jmho!

Thanks Carob(y)

Does anyone here list on Ganjapreneur Domains? If so, is it worth the $99 fee per listing? The site probably gets a lot of traffic but the fee makes we wonder why they would want to discourage listings and miss out on the commissions. It looks like they have around 800 listings which is $80k in listing fees but that's probably a lot less than their commissions would be on domains from people who aren't discouraged by the fee. I guess this means the overall demand and sales isn't higher than the $80k? Or is it the best of both, fee's and commissions and people continue to list and pay the fee because it's worth it?

PotDomains is a much better option and free to list as well as Run and owned by fellow Namepros members @Jason.tv and @Keith I believe.

Your be better off buying a $90 Name..then spending that to list a name anywhere imo.

Different platforms charge different fees for a variety of reasons, while other platforms charge nothing. Maybe it helps cover their time and costs to maintain the site. Maybe they want to dissuade folks from listing lower quality names. Your best bet is to search their ToS for answers, or simply reach out to them directly through their provided contact methods...IMO.
