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?

700pk sold for $180 on Godaddy. Although I don't see any value in this, if the buyer has approached, quote low to mid xxx and sell!

Estibot gave me a $2,200 estimate. Godaddy Appraisal ran close to $930. What should I do?

Those are too high and not always trustable.
Look for similar sales on namebio

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.

Yes exactly! (Thank you for taking the time to understand the domain name's meaning btw) This is a prime photography related domain. I bought it because it denotes the end of the visible light spectrum and was planning on building an infrared photography community around it. Not only this, but I am also in possession of the Instagram handle @700nm which matches exactly with the domain. It is very hard to get hold of such clean handles these days and this required 6 months of negotiations.

I'm on my watch now. I think the potential value of this entire name is way beyond something like $180 because given the time to settle down, I think I could have running pretty well. Thanks for the heads-up about the scammers. I'm new to this whole thing and I appreciate your advice.

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.

it depends, if you are going to develope then dont sell keep it for yourself and it might be of much higher value if your blog gets traffic. you can throw a high number on the table in the $3k-$5k range you have nothing to lose.

But if you dont want to develope and want to get rid of the domain then counter at lower value in the $500-$1k range

also as @talking.domains said be careful of appraisal scam, if they offer very high price but ask you to pay for an appraisal before they buy, then dont do that.

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. \ is not allowed in domains.

Well, so isn't 500px till you realize that its brandable when it comes to this niche. What I meant to say was it isn't a random name with a combination of letters and numbers. That, plus the fact that I acquired the social media handle should add a few points as well. Might not be a good name for a single person, but I consider it brandable when it comes to the community.

I'll keep in mind the /@ thing. First post here so I didn't think about it as much. Thanks for the tip!

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.
They did offer and appraisal but I turned it down. 9/10 scammers.

I'm pretty sure you can edit your OP and title. If not, you can hit the "Report" link on your OP and ask the mods to change it.
