Bought this for a photography blog recently and was contacted by a company asking to buy it. What could be the potential resale value if I chose to give it to them?
Estibot gave me a $2,200 estimate. Godaddy Appraisal ran close to $930. What should I do?
Hi, my advice is - don't look appraisal tools at all, don't look similar sales, and don't listen to random XXX apraisals from people that have no clue about your name. This is not usual business name to compare with similar alternatives (numbers+letters patterns etc).
This domain have special meaning in photography and light spectrum and I think you already know better than "appraisers" here because photography is your field.
Maybe you got lucky to even be contacted and maybe it's worth a lot to your potential buyer.
Photographer-domainer would give you the best guidelines. Good luck.
Edited: also be very careful, your "potential buyer" can be just an appraisal scammer. You can read more about appraisal scam on Namepros.
What kind of company? Do they sell their photography services to people and other businesses or do they sell photography products/equip to other photographers?
It's not a good name for a photographer as clients do not care about the end of the visible light spectrum.
BTW: you should never post the exact domain on a thread like this. Your buyer will google the domain and find this thread. You should post as maybe 7\00\nm com or something like that. We know what it means. \ and @ are not allowed in domains.
Thanks so much! I'm going to try and acquire the twitter handle with the same name and see how that goes. Should add more value.Yes, this name needs better research, also do a research on this company. Why they need this name (you need it too ). Social handles can be a really big plus (I lost a sale very recently for not having linked social accounts).
Monthly search volume on "700nm" is around 700 searches/mnth which is a bit low but it' not keyword domain, also not so important if name tells a story and fits their needs perfectly.
Name is registered in 2008 for the first time according to archive.org. So it's not something ultra premium but you never know what are your buyer's needs.
Appraisal scam is basically when interested party tells you they need "official appraisal certificate" from their site which is just what they want - that you pay for appraisal and then they disappear.
Good luck anyways.
I'll keep in mind the /@ thing. First post here so I didn't think about it as much. Thanks for the tip!
