Hi
@YourBestTrader .. Not to rub you off the wrong way but I just don't see how
moulded.com
mouldy.com
are so much worse than
mould.co
moulding.com
Specially between moulded.com and mould.co, any domainer would chose moulded.com, I know I would.
Also better still looking at the 2-worders; Is
designmoulding.com
mouldplast.com
So much worse than
chocolatemoulds.com
mouldingcenter.com
They seem to be of similar quality to me.
Also
@jamesall thanks for highlighting mouldingcenter.com out. Its an American company based in California and still they seem to prefer the spelling moulding over molding
PS: Apologize for beating the dead horse but I genuinely want to learn about valuations here. I know my wild valuations (of over $xx,xxx) are out of whack (that's why I call them wild) but my valuation of mid $XXX to low $X,XXX does seem reasonable to me.
You certainly don't rub me the wrong way... You are coming from the right place... Wanting to understand and learn. Bravo! Asking questions with the right attitude is rare.
I'll see if can clarify a little on my earlier post.
Regarding your higher value comparisons... I chose not to use those for comparisons because they are either FAR broader in scope, which makes them applicable to wider audience... Or they are specific, but to a totally different industry to yours. In other words the domains you've listed aren't comparable because they are either far better, or the domain is simply about something totally different:
$10,000 moulding.com [GD]
$4,678 mould.co [Namebio]
$3000 moulds.com [Namebio]
$3000 mouldingcenter.com [Namebio]
$2000 chocolatemoulds.com [Namebio]
On the flip side I included in my comps the below names which are either closer to what your domain is about, or in the case of some of them still objectively better than your domain and yet still priced super low... Showing that your domain likely doesn't have a large audience willing to spend:
mouldplast.com 224 USD 2018-04-29 DropCatch
designmoulding.com 144 USD 2017-10-07 GoDaddy
euromould.com 134 USD 2018-09-13 DropCatch
mouldy.com 134 USD 2017-04-16 DropCatch
hzmould.com 133 USD 2018-04-12 DropCatch
moulded.com 129 USD 2013-04-06 NameJet
Even without the comps though, my original valuation stands... Your domain is VERY niche, and it's not a niche with high searches, high advertising, high SEO, or any indicators showing much interest in this niche... I'm sorry to say there just isn't any proof of potential buyers out there.
Even niches with proven demand like insurance, CBD, or simple things like plumbing... It's still hard to catch a decent sale.. so with your domain the odds are exceptionally bad in my personal opinion.
For domains like yours a good question before buying would be... Can you draw up a list of 100 potential buyers that you can contact on their websites, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Instagram to offer the domain to.
You don't have to do the reaching out... But if there aren't 100 potential buyers... That kinda says something.
Hope I've been helpful.
