Don't let one bad actor give you a bad impression of this forum. There is a wealth of information here.


@johnnie018 Why don't you post your best name? Or would that reveal to much about who you are and your intentions ?

The value of a domain is very hard to predict and determine.

I’ve sold many domains for mid $xxxx, so I know that these names were worth at least that, for somebody.

My honest guess is that a few of my names is in the low 5-fig range. I can’t precise it more than that.

Auteur // com

"Author" in French, but the most common usage in English is used to refer to visionary film directors. Pretty niche, but a niche I'm passionate about and it's been a top 10 dream name for me to own. Ideal name for a quality cinema streaming service, or film education, and I have some early plans to develop. I also own the .org.

Value: always in the eye of the beholder, I suppose - but I would have paid six figures if I had to and would let it go for no less.

My second best is probably Fictions // com.

Mid-five figures at least, though with plurals you never know. Unless circumstances forced me to sell for less, I would rather own the name forever than sell for <30K.

SecureCommunicator.com worth at most $19

I can definitely understand why you're attached to it because as a film enthusiast owning such a name means a lot. I remember being introduced to the term back when I took first year film in university...the rabbit hole for me started with Martin Scorsese's legendary film Taxi Driver. Haven't watched films the same since then.


Auteur/com is a great name. I wouldn't sell it for anything less than a fortune

Another bad one. Forget about anything 2 word in new tlds.

jamesall said:

Yeah that's right Johnnie. We'll leave it at that for now.

People like you trolling are the reason I won't be renewing my membership here. -$100/year for the namepros business. I thought this was a professional forum not a place for trolls. You're turning a good place into a dingy back street pub with lippy louts. I don't associate with people like that.

You're bad for business. That's my professional opinion.

Sorry but you are in your own world with these domains you’ve registered. No decent forum will tell you good things about them.

Why not focus on getting better names instead of focus on people who don’t agree with you crazy values?

foolish thought sale domain if interest in domain worth more then realty

Five years ago, my most valuable domain was Kohsamui.org, Not because of the domain itself, but as the yearly profit was +$100k, and half a million yearly visitors. Today, I would easily sell it for $10k. Things might change quickly in the internet world.

Pharma (tw)
Cuisine (tw)
Annuity (tw)

Mid $XXXX for each

Taiwan is a growing economy with a population of over 23 million. Some end users might be intersted in topkeyword+cctld

Not just a name. Software is almost ready. I'm already long down the road. Don't you have businesses, financers etc where you come from? Nobody ever launched a great business?

I have at least 3 of my 15 sites in my signature. What business are you in?

Will be worth a whole lot more in 2 years time. That's for sure.

the problem is:
there are no sites in your sig ...

jamesall said:

Tack.

That was actually for the entire project so far price that I meant. There is a lot more to the project than the site. Hundreds of branch oriented facebook groups with 100k+ restaurant owners and staff. This is a lot of work that takes a long time to accomplish.

I have been building other companies online sales platforms for years and watching them turnover 300M sek + online (Say $30M USD), worked on dating sites (Daters with jobs in Sweden join every site). I think I am more than qualified to know the market value. The Nightlife industry is much more.

Another important factor is that things are much more expensive in Sweden than in the USA. That includes most things. Norway is even more expensive.

So I am not trying to tell you how things work in the USA because I am not there, but here it's expensive. Come and have a vacation and bring a lot of money.

That's my price anyway and I am the current owner, and like all of you with your assets, I determine the price that I am willing to sell for.

Fancy knows what he is doing, as he has the discipline to profit on gtlds, there are a lot of people here like him, like Federer who are a rare breed, that you will never emulate how they sell because they are so methodical, and patient in how they know what to buy, it becomes a second instinct after time. Takes probably over a decade to facilitate, but once you understand the process you can kind of look at a name, and the light bulb just goes off.

That’s why many seasoned domainers can kind of look thru this thread, and give open advice as you either get it, or you don’t. I wouldn’t take offence, I haven’t seen anyone say anything over, and above in a negative fashion that wasn’t warranted from a thruthful point of view.

New tlds are hard to make money in, stick to .com and very good cctlds (.ws, .tv)

That said if people really want to buy I suggest looking at brands.international, good new tlds at reasonable prices.

...and regarding my posted domain name...

DOMAIN ILLUMINATI said:

#1
toptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptoptop.top
- highest possible number (21) of "top" in a domain (without the TLD)
- highest possible number of characters (63) in a domain (without the TLD)
- highest possible TLD (".top")

#2
It worths more than any other domain name and more than all other domain names togetherrr
- more than ttt... ...tttop.top / tooo... ...ooop.top / toppp... ...ppp.top
- more than google.com / amazon.com / apple.com / microsoft.com / facebook.com /... / abc.xyz
- more than all these and all other domain names together

#3
Because it has this valueee
- it is untoppable (it is only "toppable" with subdomains - but to reach the highest possible number of "top" in a domain name that includes subdomains, you need this domain name)
- UHNWIs are permanently searching for ways how they can spend / invest their wealth
- it is the highest art / virtual status symbol and it is only created to (try to) buy it, to own it and to sell it

Click to expand...

...I want to add that your idea is a good idea in principleee

But I can assure you that I am definitely not biased towards my domain nameee
The proof for that is that I was already not biased before I owned it, otherwise I would not have registered ittt

In other words, I was also / already convinced from it at the time when it was not yet in my possessionnn

Present day, Yes, 100%, there are still people that go against the grain, and register them to be different, or think outside the box, or maybe they really want a big term which can't be bought, so always exception to the rules.

The first 2 years it was possible to get some good Donuts terms that they missed tagging premium, or they didn't tag as a high premium. Also there was a point I think in 2015/2016 where Donuts opened up a large portion of their reserved names, this was a good chance to cherry pick some good names which didn't have some crazy premiums attached. There is a market for people who know how to find good terms to sell them under $1K, and make sales. It takes time, skill, and a lot of trial, and error, but a few veterans have the potential to pull it off. On the downside the inflated renewals really put the pressure of making sales very high on the to do list. The extensions are trying to to preserve burn rates, and are not spending money on advertising as they once used to, also many new gtlds are not in the news cycles, as new roll outs have slowed. The next hype level probably won't come up until .web, which is no different than .net, which is not doing that great now.

Good cctlds .ws? since when

.tv is really a roulette wheel, when it comes to the one words, and your name coming up.

Patientrobotics.com
Oxyportal.com

Medical devices, supplies, or?

$$$$ at least

We all have our own valuations, especially on our own domains we look at them through rose tinted glasses and I am not immune to that.
I have Signed(.)com AntiqueFurniture(.)com EIA(.)com MVR(.)com (VR virtual reality) and ChinaFund(.)com
All I believe are worth about the same $30k - $50k each.
But Signed was my first domain in 1999 and AntiqueFurniture is my passion and will use it one day. So probably worth less. MVR gets the most interest. ChinaFund gets most traffic EIA most used acronym.

Ohh yes GRO is the best.
